One week ago I had Gastric Sleeve surgery. Last week was rough. Lots of nausea and reflux. This week I am feeling much better and I am trying to resume normal activity but paying special attention to not lifting anything and not overdoing it. The hardest part so far is training my brain. My brain is thinking of pizza, sushi, popcorn, cake, pretty much everything that I know I cannot have. I am looking forward to getting to day 15 when I can start to incorporate some food in my diet. The whole soup/protein drink thing is not great.

That is surprising. I am a week post surgery and I can have Protein drinks, milk, cream-based Soups, greek yogurt, sugar free Jello or popsicles and Water, water, water (can be mixed with crystal light). The Protein Drinks that I am drinking have 28 grams of protein each so I drink 2 a day and then have greek yogurt and Soup broth. I can't have food (chicken, fish pureed) until day 15. It's interesting to see the differences.
