I use Premier Protein chocolate. It is really good. I get it at BJs but I heard GNC carries it too

I use premier protein. It is ready-to-drink. It is actually really good.

It is actually working. When I am slouched it hurts but if I sit upright it goes down a little better

I am just about 3 weeks out. I started the purée diet on Friday. I was told it should be the consistency of oatmeal. Everything hurts going down and feels like it is getting stuck in my chest. Anyone else have this problem?

Im on the "puréed" section of the diet. On the plus, I can't eat a lot. However I don't think I am making good food choices. HELP! I have been eating tuna, cottage cheese mashed potatoes ( sweet and regular) chicken with gravy ( my nutritionist suggested) and baby green beans. I have been do on the run I find myself going for easy and quick. I'm eating more cottage cheese and yogurt and trying to remember my protein drinks. Oh and cheating with my dunkin Donuts coffee. I feel like I am not doing very well. Any suggestions?

Thanks so much for the encouragement. I know I have to concentrate on what is good.

You need to eat a ton more of protein. Ramp up the protein shakes. That should help with the hair loss.

I'm in the same boat. I think that it's a process and you need to use your tools and you will be fine.

Krystamae, drink more protein drinks. It should help with the hair loss

I had mine out when I was 17, 100 yrs ago. It was the start of my weight gain. You have your sleeve so I think that will help a lot

I'll test it and let you know . Thanks

I had my surgery 9/25/13 My heaviest weight was 292 My pre-surgery was 286 I am now 268

How much time did you take off for surgery? I initially took a week, went back to work for 3 days and then decided I need another week. Is that normal?

I have used up all of my days so I am not getting paid but my job is stressful and I think I should just rest.

I stayed for 2 nights but the doctors want to make sure everything works well before discharging you. It's better to be safe than sorry

Thanks! I am taking small bites but I guess too fast. I keep forgetting that I just had major surgery 2 weeks ago
