I love premier protein in chocolate. Syntrax nectar makes fruit flavored protein powder if you want something "non-milky"

@@wannaBthinsoon Bless her little heart! She's 85 just let her say her piece, the Important part is YOU know Better and that's all that really matters. You will just have to prove its possible to her! Real life is better than any TV programs she's going to watch! -
No that's good, I'm sure it's just a guide until you can drink "normal" if you can drink more without issue or pain then I say go for it! Being hydrated it important and the better you can hydrate yourself the better off you will be! Keep up the good work!@@simplyblessed

Oh and refried beans with cheese , hummus , and sour cream. My stage was purée / mushy combined.

I liked the riccota cheese bake, just riccota cheese mixed with one egg and what ever seasonings you like (I used Italian blend) and a thin layer of marinara sauce on top then baked at 350 for about 25-30 mins! Delicious! Taste like lasagna minus the nodles! @@Jen D

pain on left shoulder
Elode replied to Linda June Nash Brooks's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had that same thing happen. My surgeon said its normal for it to show up days later. I never had any gass pains. He says it air that gets trapped.mi ended up punching myself in the shoulder (I Know weird but I was sick of it!) well whatever I did it made it go away. I guess I knocked the air out. It will eventually go away on its own so you don't have to punch yourself lol! -
Oh and to answer your other questions who knows about the Butt and boobs? You will more than likely lose some but how much only time will tell. As far as using lidocaine to numb you before an IV stick will totally depend on your hospital. It never hurts to ask, good luck!

@@veelovee Hi! How in the world did you already get an approval from the insurance company before finishing your pre-op requirements!? I've never heard of such a thing. Maybe I misunderstood? Are you saying your insurance approves Bariatric surgery if you meet the requirements and pass all the pre-op or did you get a stamped approval letter from the insurance company already?

Campbell's French onion was a favorite of mine after surgery, it's so strong it actually killed my "unflavored" protein mix in.

I'm confused did you skip a step in accident ? I had to write mine on a calendar to keep track of the steps and days!

@@rgrunge87 Hi! I don't know if you can technically stretch your stomach or not. Some say you can some say no but just try not to overeat. Follow your surgeons plan and you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Good luck to you!
