I was an avid juicer before surgery. I asked my NUT about it and she was all about it. My body just responds well to juicing. My problem is my juices don't taste very good and I would chug them. I'm scared to make them now. It's a mind thing. My typical juice has Kale Beets Spinach Carrots Celery Tomatoes Cucumber I like the idea of adding Protein to it. Perhaps less beets. The beets are what makes it taste unpleasant. I'm 2 1/2 months out and can tolerate much more. This post has inspired me to get out of my fear and get back into it. Sent from my iPad using VST

Just had my 6 week check and was graduated to all food. My doctor said to get protein bars. Ultimately high protein, low carb, low fat and low sugar would be great. I find they either have too much fat or too much sugar. Which do you use?

I too have had that one bite too many and get that pressure in my chest. I think my hardest problem is, my tummy is just about full but my mouth is not! That's when I have one more bite and then that pressure feeling. It just is going to take time for all of the new rules to become habit. Good luck! Sent from my iPad using VST

Absolutely NOT!!!!!!! Water was uncomfortable going down! I had a very easy recovery, no nausea, discomfort, but not pain. I can't even fathom the idea of alchohol. Sent from my iPad using VST

Thank you all! I'll have to try some of them. I bought a few random bars the other day. I had 1/2 of a Think Thin and it was pretty good. Not too dry at all. Sent from my iPad using VST

Hi! I understand your frustrations! I am 6 weeks out. Went to my 6 week check up today. At their office I've lost 20lbs since surgery. I keep forgetting to weigh at home with clothes and shoes, 4lbs difference. My doctor seemed pleased. I'm frustrated! I have been getting about 70gr Protein. He told me eat 5-6 times a day, and get 80gr protein. My instructions had 3 times and 2 Snacks. He wants me to sort of make them all equal. Hopefully that will work better. I do tend to lose about 6lbs at once and then none for a couple of weeks. We didn't gain over weight and can't expect to lose like that. Good luck losers!!!=) Sent from my iPad using VST

Best wishes for all of you having surgery tomorrow. Best advice is, do what they say! Sip and sip and sip!

I'm from the west side of Houston. I just joined this forum, and am still trying to find my way around.

Hi. I'm new and had my surgery on October 30th. Just trying to find my way around.
