    When Does This Get Better?

    I think right now the most pressing needs are your nutrition. If all you can do is Protein Shakes and gummy Vitamins twice a day then do that. I puree my soup add a little half n half to the chicken broth. I drink skim milk a lot. Even if you purée Beans and veggies with chicken broth do that. Nutrition is no. 1
  4. Today it was protein shake, then egg salad 2whites, 1 full egg, then roasted broccoli cauliflower soup puréed , next salmon tonight. 3weeks out for me...
  5. I am 3weeks out..so today was a protein shake...egg salad. Broccoli cauliflower soup puréed , and salmon tonight...it's true, you ave to do protein first!!!

    New Holiday Traditions

    I am only 3wks out...but baking doesn't bother me. I don't care to eat t. It's weird. I have no want for it, but I will do the cookies and go to Cosco to get some foods. I guess I will see how I handle it

    November surgeries?

    This is an emotional week,even without complications. Just do as much as you can, and push thru...first 2wks are the toughest. Bleep trying to drink your fluid softly, let the water slide around then swallow ..fluids most mp. Good lick

    Going To Mexico Alone

    Oh goodness, so sorry to hear all of this. I was sleeved in Mexico with Dr Alvarez on Nov 11 I am not quite 2weeks out. I had no problems with the nurses or staff. They were with me 100 % nothing missing, always available. I also had no drains. My incisions look like a plastic surgeon did them . I am doing great, no issues or problems. Get 90 grams protein and 64 oz fluid in daily. He is with Endobariatric.com and does obesity chat and youtube videos with others telling their experience. Go look! Good luck

    Dark Circles Anyone?!

    I am glad you told me, I look like a vampire lol at night..sooo dark. My hubby was shocked to see me look like this. You're right the body is stressed...
  18. I am doing really good, the first week is the hardest shofar.. Doing better this week. Not as emotional..on the puréed and that's tough to figure out. I guess it's a learning curve.just focusing on my protein and water still with a little applesauce and creamy soup...
