Congrats to everyone! Keep up the good work! W

oops light pudding of course.

oops. I'm 10 weeks Shersun, Re: tired ... me too! I haven't even walked! Have no energy. My Iron was checked and is fine now wondering if it's the winter lazies. Anyone else lacking energy? Bonus: Kick-ass Protein snack 1pk Jello pudding (I use butterscotch as I find it masks the unfl PP best) 2c almond milk 4 sc unfl Protein powder Freeze in jello molds. 70 cals and 15 gr protein.

Cheese is just too high in calories. If you want to decrease your calories, get your protein from other sources. That said one does want a certain amount of fat in their diet. Just my two cents but I'm not addicted to cheese in the least though I do like ricotta and feta and they are much lower in calories. W

breakfast: homemade fruit smoothie w yogurt and Protein powder 31 gr protein 173 cal lunch: quiche 15 gr protein 140 cal dinner: chicken breast 25 gr protein 180 cal 3 pm & 8pm 1/2 ea premier shake from costco. 30 gr protein 180 cal For my sweet tooth I make unsw pudding w 4 scoops unfl Protein Powder and freeze into 8 popsicles so each one has 15 gr protein and super delish. Those suckers will kill any sweet craving. HTH W If I have chicken at lunch the calorie count goes way down at I put prosciutto and ricotta and grated cheese (gasp) in the quiche.

Maybe I read it wrong. I thought all 1100 calories were just protein calories. Oops.

Hi Chelsi I was told to have 100 gr protein minimum per day. Your calorie count is high at 1100 for just 100 gr protein. My 100 gr protein comes in at 600 calories. (Of course I eat other things in addition) Are you eating cheese? I do not. calorie to protein ratio too high. If you'd like more details on what I eat let me know. W

IRON LADY; Nothing but nothing bothered her. Not spicy tomato juice 4 days post-op Not beef jerky 2 wks post-op NOTHING........and then, this weekend, along came the radish!

Hi Denise and welcome! Congrats and wishing you success. Did you run Boot Camp by your Dr? Boot Camp seems pretty aggressive for only 10 days post-op. I was told to wait 6 wks before going to yoga. Just my 2 cents. Best of luck. W.

I was told it was all that Protein building up and I should drink more Water. Worked for me.

I had surgery Feb 4 also and I am down 17 lbs also. Maybe not the fastest loss, but a loss none the less. Hope you feel better knowing you are not the only one! W

I hear you're looking for me. Here I am. PM me. W

Not sure exactly. 1-2 years? I just know I'm sure not one. lol W

You were probably in the Veteran's section. That section is lock to any non-veteran's. HTH W

I had the exact same worry as you. I'm 12 days post-op and didn't have a single problem either. Gosh did we get lucky! I can drink a 12oz shake no problem, pudding (w Protein added) goes down so easily (in a really scary way). This morning I experimented with some steel cut oats and let me tell you....restriction! For the OP to say 'you have a bigger sleeve' is just wrong. Go by forums members experiences, not an armchair diagnosis. W

I've always had a shake for Breakfast only now I add 1sc Protein Powder. It's 270 cal with 44 gr protein. Halfway there in one meal. 1/2c greek yogurt 1/2 c frozen berries 1sc vanilla protein powder 2 tsp inulin (benefiber) 1/2 c milk

On my 4th day post-op I had a glass of spicy clam on the plane on my way home. Stupid ... but delish with no problems.

I think she's lucky to have an available affordable option. I liked my Dr. perfectly fine. Dr Elias Ortiz thru A Lighter Me Best of luck, W

I was sleeved 2/4 and Ineed pureed. Stage 2: Full liquids seem to go right thru me as a result I'm at 800 calories/day. Does this seem high? How many calories are other people taking in? Tks W

oops maybe have been closer to 1/2 c each.

I am having the same worries. Seems like most are talking about 1/4 c of this 2 T of that and at 9 days post-op yesterday I had 1c pea soup and 1 c pudding in under 25 mins. Today I set my phone to notify meals as between Water and meals I feel like something is going in my mouth all the time. They haven't recommended no. of calories (I seem to be at 850/day) but I am supposed to strive for 100 gr of protein/day. But really, could two cups of slime(pudding/soup) be ok? ps If I didn't have my leak test on cd I won't know I had a sleeve. I had no pain, no nausea, no cramps.

Ive been advised to switch out milk for 1:3 cream:water. No carbs. HTH
