I had a hard time on the liquid diet too. I drank a lot of milk because i couldn't stomach the protein drinks. I wish I had know about some of the other protein waters and such at that stage. But it will get better.

Pureed Food Help!
lifeofblair replied to Jessica _ Stephens's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I did scrambled eggs and yogurt mainly. I also would eat refried beans although I had trouble the first time I ate them. -
I started taking biotin hopefully that will help some. I'm just ready for it to slow down, I'm not used to having thin hair.

I can't be the only one that can't stomach protein!
lifeofblair replied to sarahbethemails's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have to use the torani syrups in my protein shakes to be able to tolerate them. I can't taste the protein powder at all with it. -
Any good app. to track just weight loss ?
lifeofblair replied to Scottyd1264's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I just switched to myplate. It tracks everything and if you have an iPhone it syncs with your Health app. Also have used baritastic. It does a summary for the day, month and lifetime of your protein, carbs, fat, etc. -
I'm not sure if I'm doing this right... help needed
lifeofblair replied to NewLeaf15's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I could drink a lot after surgery. It took me awhile to where I felt full. But now I can eat a egg and be stuffed. Kinda goes by the day for me. -
Cookies and cream, but smores is amazing if you microwave it for 10 or so seconds

Did anyone go to surgery alone.
lifeofblair replied to cookies_queen's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My brother went with my mom and at the time he was 19, I was in high school or I would have gone with her. And then she came with me. I couldn't imagine being in the hospital alone mainly because i got bored and wanted to talk. -
I've ordered kids items before with no issues. But I also have ordered full meals and just have had leftovers. Some meals are able to last me 2 or 3 days with leftovers.

Surgery Dec.10! I'm so nervous! Help me?
lifeofblair replied to Bariatric2015's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Surgery never has been a big deal to me, but my mom was nervous for me. She kept telling me it was serious surgery and if I was sure I wanted to do it. My mind was made up. My pain wasn't terrible after surgery. The first day was the worst. After that I was just ready to leave the hospital and get home. -
Researching, would love opinions
lifeofblair replied to swiftie87's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Due to my medical issues, my surgeon said bypass would be best. I was going to go with the sleeve before I met with him. I go for my 6 mo post op in January so hopefully my pouch is absorbing like it it is supposed to. -
Bad food cravings, any suggestions?
lifeofblair replied to swiftie87's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
Check out bariatricfoodie.com. She has great recipes that are still in line with being healthy. -
Unjury, blech - I believed you guys!
lifeofblair replied to songsmith's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Pre surgery I like unjury chocolate. I have tried it again post op. I use their unflavored in pudding a lot to add protein and I can't tell there's anything else in there. -
First pureed/soft meal attempt
lifeofblair replied to A New KK's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had that problem with refried beans. So I had to cut them out. I think my problem was that I ate them too fast. -
2 weeks beyond surgery still hungry 2,200 calories a day what's wrong?
lifeofblair replied to Dallas Powell's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I felt like I could eat a lot after my surgery, but I knew I shouldn't so I had to cut myself off. But, recently I have been starting to feel full after little meals. I was worried they actually didn't do the surgery because i was still hungry. -
Time off work - selfish?
lifeofblair replied to Leesa926's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I told my boss I was having surgery. Didn't specify what because it wasn't their business. Granted, they figured it out as I started to lose weight and noticed the things I was eating post op. I also did mine in a less busy time of year.
