Wendilou, I love Syntrax and it make the best smoothies. Yummy! Good luck

congrats to everyone progress.

I am so excited I ate almost a 1/4 c of reg oats with protein and all of my med egg. Remember protein first! Pouch likes both foods. Yeah

I dont know how you didnt it. I have been on liquids for 3 weeks and today was my first encounter with soft food. (15 day post op down 19.8 lbs) I have been craving a burger so I cooked a 4oz turkey burger with a little mustard and a little light cheese no bread of course. The first small bit was was wonderful so I ate another, but it was that final bit that killed me total of 1.5oz . OMG I thought I would die it was like I had swallowed a whole melon. I was saying GOD please let me throw up, but instead it just sat there for 4 miserable hours I learned a great lesson know when you are full. "trial and error".

Protein, broth, creamy soups (light), sf popsicles, light ff yogurts and lots of liquids.

I have a 16 oz water bottle and I sip on it all day and keep refilling as need. I am 14 days post op. It is the same way I do the protein.

mmmmmmm anything FOOD I havent eaten in 3 weeks.

I had surgery on 1/14/2012 I don't regret it yet, only the gas I didnt have really much pain use meds I was told keep ahead of the pain use the meds. I just have 5 incision seal with glue which are almost healed. Had the cath., ugh but no drain. The doc said never seen anyone recover as fast as me. Over all I am satisfied with my decision to have the surgery I have not been sick, no dumping which I am afraid of when I start to eat soft food next week. Im tried a little but that is to be expect I have been on liquids since 1/7/12. I go to see the nut. 1/30/2012 and I am off work for the next 6 weeks. I am not doing to bad on my proteins and fluids. "down 14lbs" I do not have unrealistic expectations for my weight lose I didnt get myself in this shape over night and I dont expect to get out of it over night. Slow and steady wins the race.

Good Luck and God bless to all the the surgery left for this Jan safe recovery. We will look for you on the losing side.

Surgery 1/14/2013, gas not too bad home today 1/16/2013. sip, walk and rest

I am on my way to the hospital at 6pm UMPC Greenville PA, Dr. Christopher Meyers my surgeon... prep starts at 7:30am, surgery at 9:30am I cannot believe I am really doing this, but I have God on my side and if it is his will I see all of my surgery buddies on the losing side.
