Congrats!! I feel you I've had every tropical / regular Popsicle and jellos they ever made sugar free... You will get thee I was sleeved on the 13th and start purée today and full liquids, but I'm a little nervous scared of getting sick

That does sound delish I'm going to have to try that!

Those are good but have a lot more sugar and a lot less protein than the real Greek yogurts. If its taste I recommend using a sweetner.

Sounds like we are on similar paths scrambled eggs are considered soft foods in my diet book from my provider also

I can start cereal like oatmeal and cream of wheat tomorrow should I be concerned or are we talking about flakes corn flakes raisin brand etc

I have a son who will be 1 on Tuesday. I sent him to my moms for a couple weeks because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle him especially since I can't bend or lift him. I miss my baby though she brings him by daily so I can see him...

Wow no ibuprofen my dr says not right away unless liquid, but in a few months when I can take pills it will be fine.. Things really do vary from practice to practice. Did he say why you couldn't have it?

Today I purchased the Unjury chicken soup it has 21grams protein, and I got premiere protein shakes from SAMs club they have 30 grams. Tomorrow I start purée and full liquids so we shall see how it goes. I can't wait!!!

My Surgeon told me to stay away from fruit yogurts during my pre-op. I was also sleeved on 8/13 but im still on clear liquids to transistion to full liquids next week. When i was on pre-op i got the plain greek yogurt and added sweetner like sweet n low or splenda to it, an it made the taste better. you can also try some extracts that will help with taste some

I am with you I am six days out and still have pain in my incision. Like the other lady said we just had Major Surgery. One thing I will say when the drain was removed it felt a lot better it was a huge relief. Just continue to walk and take you pain medicine. If its still really really bad i would say reach out to your Dr or go to the hospital, better safe than sorry.

I actually found my weight management program to be very helpful preparing me for surgery. It was very informative and my dietition and nutritionist would put me on plans to prepare me for what was to come after surgery. Believe me i felt the same way, but i'd much rather me infomred educated and prepared verses just having the surgery and then having to learn what to do and not to do... You will ultimately have to do whats best for you!

I have United Health Care and weight watchers and individual dieting did count for me. with weight watchers your progress is tracked online all i had to do was log onto my online account and show my progress. the purpose of the 6 month program is to track your progress and dcoument a medical advised diet. Through my insurance we have Bariatric Resources who handled everything along with my Dr's office. I would reconmend you call your insurance and see whats offered. I had to submitt 5 year weights and complete the 6 moth program. when i submitted to insurance on june 20th they called me 2 days later approving me and I was givin a surgery date GOOD LUCK!

I would say call your Dr better safe than sorry. I'm 6 days out and my right side where incision is still very sore. That's the side they pulled the stomach out. Just walk and take pain meds I promise it will get better. My drain was taken out before I left hospital but once your dr removes it that area will feel better. I have heard of some people going home with drains I wouldn't worry much but still ask dr about it...feel better

The best to you both... I'm also in NC!!!

Hello mines was also the 13th and I came home late night on the 15th each day gets better still sore on my right side, but not as bad as day 1. I'm still trying to get all my fluids in I'm averaging about 48 ounces and 45 grams protein. I can only do what I can do

Did u have a pre op diet or you went in at that weight?

Thank you both!!! I definetly see it will be a matter of trial and error. For my pre-op I did the EAS and the Atkins shakes I did find one new one called Designer Whey. But also everything I have is chocolate and vanilla I need flavor I start full liquids and purée tomorrow

Walk walk walk and sip sip sip. My surgery was mon 8/13 and I still have gas pains but walking and burping really helps. Sipping as much as you can releases a lot of gas also. Hope this helps good luck

That's awsome!!! Keep it up!
