Thank you all! I will definitely take an allergy pill and see if that helps. I am already taking Biotin. And @@Seela you may be right on that....I know I am not getting in enough fluids everyday, so that may be what is causing it. I will have to try the Dove or Aveeno as well. I will let you all know how it goes, hopefully one of these things will help! Thanks sooo much!

It is unflavored to an extent. If you put too much (more than 1/4-1/2 scoop) then you can definitely taste a funky flavor. Just a little in anything you can helps tremendously. Also, I have been doing the Premier Protein chocolate shakes in the morning, they are 30g of protein. Not the best tasting out of all of the shakes out there, but one of the highest in protein. If by the end of the day I am still running low on protein, I have another one. Just two per day will give you 60 grams of protein. You should be able to get the rest from your food and unflavored Protein powder. Hope this helps!!

Such a big difference! So very proud of you! This is a lot of work and I completely disagree with anyone who says this is "the easy way out"! Makes me want to take an updated pic to compare to my pre-surgery ones already! I'm 4 weeks post op and 27lbs down. I'm shooting for another 9 lbs. before my next appt. which will be my 6 week post op appt.

I am getting sleeved on 02/27/14...anyone else have the same surgery date? I'm excited but feeling pretty awful from Pre-op diet.

I definitely will ask! I have my 2 week post op appt. tomorrow so I will be drilling them on whether or not I can add items to my current menu. Right now it consists of drinkable yogurts or blended Soups with Clear Liquids. I will survive either way but I would love to have something else!

You are allowed cereal?! I'm so jealous! I'm literally on full liquids meaning nothing BUT liquids right now and very thin ones, no lumps etc. I want something crunchy so bad for some reason!

I am right there with you on bored with full liquids! I want to chew something so bad! Lol...I've lost 21 lbs since before preop diet until now but 14 of it has been since surgery. I'm feeling back to normal with the exception of that small pinch of pain on the right upper side sometimes.

I got sleeved and double hernia repair on 2/28/14. Anababy, How are you doing with your new sleeve?

I am 11 days post op but have been able to get in more and more protein each day. I have been making myself sip on a Premier protein shake (one of them has 30grams of protein) each day. I purchased unflavored protein powder and have been dumping 1/2-1 scoop in everything I drink. Also, I just graduated to full liquids so I am able to have drinkable yogurts. I got the ones made by Lala and there are 5 grams of protein in each one and they are rather small. In addition, anything Greek yogurt has a lot of protein in it. I found these ice cream bars made by Weight Watchers that are Greek Yogurt with a little blueberry swirl and there are 5 grams of protein in one bar. I have been just sipping slowly but often and it is getting better and easier to manage to get it all in. I actually was able to get in 80 grams yesterday!! I was beyond ecstatic because I am really terrified of losing my hair! </3 Just keep trying, you can't give up and if you are having a difficult time with pureed foods right now, then wait a little longer. Nothing says you HAVE to graduate to the next level until your body is ready. I wish you all the best!

Crystaleffexx can you email me a list of what you have or pics etc? I'm in 16s now but am interested in 14s and 16s as I know it won't be long!

1 week post op yesterday...9lbs down since surgery and a total of 16 since before preop diet!

I went back to work today...5 days post op...would have gone back yesterday but my office was closed due to inclement weather. Literally feel 100% with the exception of my intake only being fluids lol. Sleeve=Best thing ever so far!

Going on day two of post op....if it weren't for the gas pains in my shoulder and neck, I wouldn't even know I had surgery! Except of course the obviousness that I can only drink a medicine cup full of fluids at one time and then feel almost painfully full! I'm so excited about the future now...still seems surreal that I had it done!

Today is the day! Just a few short hours away from the beginning of a new life!! I can't wait!

Congrats Heather!!! That's awesome!

Samana- awold0 had gall bladder surgery...I am getting sleeved this Thursday...not the same person

Hahaha I was thinking...never heard of comic atoms...maybe that's a real thing and I better Google it? Lol!

Samana how are you? Ready? Scared? Please post as able to after surgery! I would like to keep up with you and compare notes

I don't like it that is for sure...but I am having a hard time understanding how some people having the same procedure are on less strict diets than the one my surgeon assigns? Mine is all clear sugar free liquids with the exception of a max of 4 low calorie/high carb Protein shakes per day. I've had a horrible headache for days, am dizzy, lightheaded, tired and grumpy.

I am not scared at all...just ready to do this! AND more than anything, I'm just hungry...
