Hi Amy- I was sleeved on the 24th and on full liquids. I am using the Bariastic app to record everything. I start the day with herbal tea. Breakfast is usually runny cream of wheat made with Fairlife nonfat milk. Take Vitamins. 9 am I take 2 tylenol and walk for 40 mins on a treadmill. (The binder they gave me helps too!) 10 am Protein shake. vanilla premier Protein Shake with scoop of Protein powder, PB2 powder, and 1/2 banana is my favorite! 12 pm broth and maybe sf Jello. Between 12 and 3 pm- Walking treadmill for 40 mins. 2 pm. 16 oz Water with Crystal Light and scoop of protein powder. Between 3 and 6 pm -Walking Treadmill 40 mins 6 pm Yogurt (triple zero) or runny mashed potatoes or strained Soup 8 pm sf jello, pudding or Popsicle. Take Calcium chewables. This will change when I go back to work, but for now, it provides a routine I can stick to! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

Good morning! OK, so I did not meet my goals yesterday for liquids, Protein or Calcium. But I did better. Herbal tea for Breakfast, probably 12 oz of a 16 Oz Water bottle mixed with crystal light and 30 g. Protein powder and an entire container of vanilla triple zero yogurt. Took me an hour to finish it the yogurt, one teaspoon every 5 mins. Also took some stool softeners which, happily, are starting to work! This morning I made a shake with vanilla Premier Protein, 1/2 frozen ripe banana, 2 T PB2 (Peanut Butter powder), ice and addition protein powder. This should be a whopping 66 g of protein! And it's yummy. But my tummy still prefers warm to cold. I find my body running cold. I have been wearing my favorite Beach dresses with a sweater and socks (homeless fashionista) and staying under blankets when I'm not up and doing stuff. A frying vacationing in Barbados keeps sending me food pictures (yes she knows about the surgery.) DH keeps bringing more food into the house and parading it by me. Then he decides to become chef-boy-r-d and starts cooking all kinds of things. Then comes out and starts describing the meal he has just made for himself. I almost stared to cry. He looked at me and said "oh I guess you don't want to hear about it?" Arrgh. He then made some homemade chicken broth which he offered up. I told him it had to be strained. Which he did. When I saw the container he had I asked if that was a layer of fat on top that needed to come off. He got insulted and snapped that it was just Soup. He poured me a bowl, very proud of himself. I felt sick as I looked at the glistening fat on the broth. I ate 2 spoonfuls. Then got rid of it as discretely as I could. Sigh. Also braved the scale. The first read out was LO which I assumed meant Laughing Out Loud. Sigh. Smells are getting easier to tolerate, but feelings may be getting more sensitive. How is everyone else doing?

Hi, I'm Suzanne. I had my surgery the 24th. When the new day nurse came in on the 25th, she smelled like garlic and onions...which I used to adore...but. yuck! It was horrid. Then at home my husband got into bed and was reeking of garlic, onions, toothpaste and God knows what else. And the dog....smelled like kibble. Ugh. This is a superpower side effect. Wondering how long it is going to last... I haven't come close to getting my liquids, protien or Vitamins in but I'm hoping today will be the day! Swelling is going down, incisions are healing nicely and I can lay on my stomach now. I am on full liquids but just added "real" food yesterday (only Water, and a couple bites of Jello wed and thurs) Yesterday I tried some herbal tea (fantastic!), watery cream of wheat (yummy), cream of chicken soup spiked with Protein powder, and triple zero Greek yogurt. Only managed a few bites of each but they were all wonderful taste sensations! I have not weighed myself yet. Today's goals...liquids, protein, walking. And measurements. I need to take measurements! Good luck to all! Our journey has begun! Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
