What relief that I am not the only one experiencing this!!! Thanks for ALL your replies!!! I def. need to communicate to him more the importance of leaving my measured food alone.

Premier protein has already made shakes with 30gms of protein and they taste good! Sugar free Popsicles are still something I really enjoy! -

I took Milk of mag on day four and went on day 5, oh and just an FYI! It's not the same as before! -
If you have a smart phone it's easy to track calories with my fitness pal! I find it super easy to use and really takes a lot of thinking out of it for me!

I have been doing about 650 calories and aim for 80gms of protein per day. I have been able to do it most days! My nutritionist said 600-800 calories is where I should be!

Thanks all for your understanding and kind words. Take it day by day and keep in mind what I am doing at all times! Husband is much older than 10 but acts like that or less sometimes! Lol it's a process we are learning!

Some days it is a challenge but I do find the premier protein shakes really help me reach the goal!

I think we all feel your pain!!! Stick with it and it will pass before you know it!

Is it normal not to go for a #2 for a few days?

I have been debating on a softener because my stools are so hard now. I need to see if there are any natural ways to do this first! -
I like the chocolate best but haven't tried vanilla

I weighed today on my 5 week anniversary from surgery and not quite down 20lbs. I am learning to take it in stride. Getting all my diet components in is a challenge everyday so as long as I do that and exercise I think it's a success! I hope the scale catches up to where I think I should be though!!! Lol

I just discussed my surgery options and spent a few minutes with the nutritionist discussing diet changes to start. I had A 4 month medically supervised diet I had to follow.

Bad Breath/Taste in mouth-sleeved June 22
mtraverse replied to mperez1982's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Mine is worst in the morning! I now have a dry mouth when I wake up now too which is awful as well, not sure why I can't keep my mouth closed when I sleep now! -
When I saw my doctor for the first time we talked about what surgery would work best for the weight I needed to lose. I had the sleeve done. I am a month post-op and I have no regrets it second questions about my choice. It took me a long time to cut out the soda so great job on that! Definitely a necessity! Good luck with your appointment!

Week 3 puréed diet, how much could you eat?
mtraverse replied to alindsey's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I just finished the puréed stage and I never measured per cups but I always had 2oz of protein and 1/4 cup of fruit or veggies. -
I had my one month today and am down 19.6 since surgery and 70 pounds since I started my journey on my medically supervised plan!
