That's great smiles! I go next Tuesday for my first! Im excited to get to the green zone!!!

Ok Ive been eating 1 whole egg plus 1 egg white and turkey sausage. I know im not supposed to eat eggs everyday but im having trouble finding other breakfast ideas that keep me feeling full. Im not a huge yogurt fan but i do like cottage cheese. I wouldn't want it alone just for breakfast but i Cant think of a whole lot of things to eat that have high protein. I like malt o meal and oatmeal but they Dont have a lot of protein either. Im kind of stuck i guess. any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Also im trying to limit my carb intake to only having bread/pasta once a day. I know basically everything has carbs but im tying to slowly limit mine!

Guess i will have to look into the unjury! I keep hearing good things about it! I have unflavored protein but it gives me horrible gas pain that won't come out.

Ok I will do that later thanks. I used egg whites this morning thanks. Yeah im looking into other choices. I havent had any shakes i Dont prefer them. The liquid goes right thru me! Like u said i would only drink them if i was in a hurry

Wow lots of suggestions thanks so much! I was always raised to eat breakfast at breakfast so its weird to think of anything else besides that Haha i eat breakfast for dinner sometimes so i Dont understand why my brain is stuck lol i was def worried about my cholesterol this morning i did the sausage with only egg whites Haha

Thats what i was told too. Im okay eith the half cup but there is no way of getting in the calories needed for the day. I cant get enough nutrition in. Im eating more than half a cup but im still staying at or right under my caloric intake but i havent had any fills either so we will see.

Yes very normal its swelling. It might take a while for it to go down.

Evvery surgeon is different but most likely the first few days you will be on Clear liquids hen progress to Protein shakes for a week or so them on to mushy foods then soft and finally solids. So people are on shakes for 2 weeks and Dont have to go thru each stage. U should call them and found out so can get what u need before the surgery! Are u not on a pre op diet either?

Yeah most people Dont get in the calories they need. When youre swelling goes down your appetite will increase and it will make it easier. Just make sure u are getting plenty of fluids!

I really Dont have any. The only thing that has helped mildly is the gas x. I think it mostly will just take time for all the swelling to go down then the gas/boating will diminish.

That sounds about right. My tummy is still bloated and im nearly 3 weeks out! But i do have more room in y highs too! Good luck hopeful u will find out soon! I get my first fill on the 8th!

Youre very welcome!

Thats very very normal. Its gas pain. Try a heating pad when Youre not walking around!

Yeah baking was one of my fav things to do! I still think that its possible to do that i just have to choose how much i eat and make sure im countig calories and burning off what i did eat. Good for you on making the substitute. It is hard to fight the mind but it can be done maybe not alone but with support! Looking at the scale does help for now. I know eventually a plateau will happen but until then im gonna keep looking lol yes im hoping we can all be here for each other!!!
