Yes, I lived off the Protein shakes for the first few days. Even now, 6 weeks out I have to have either a shake or a Greek yogurt to get my protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am almost 5 weeks post op and I get 100 oz of water a day. I am at the point where I can gulp water. I drank 100 oz a day pre op. I was not able to get the recommend 64 oz til about 2.5 weeks out. I have not tried to drink while eating cuz I'm skeered. Water does not taste any different. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm doing very well. I had troubles with the anesthesia but other than that no problems at all. I'm down to one Protein shake a day and getting the rest from food; Greek yogurt, eggs, Beans and cottage cheese, some chicken. I start real food Monday. Can't wait. I'm using toddler utensils and small plates. Only getting about 600-700 calories but my doc said to worry about protein and fluids first. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was also sleeved on 5/23. HW 260 SW 233 CW 212. I haven't weighed since my 17 day post op visit so hopefully my CW is less. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 17 days post op and had my first doc visit. I lost 21 lbs! So excited. I have been released to do light weights and light aerobic activity. I can ride my bike! Still soft food til day 28. I got this! HW 260 SW 233 CW 212 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I never weighed myself before so it's not a big deal to me. I have a feeling though that might change. Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'd like to lose 80 lbs. I was 260 when I had my first appt with my surgeon. After the 6 mos required for my insurance, I got down to 233 by surgery day. Today is my first post op visit and I have not weighed myself. I wanted to strictly go by my docs scale. I'm 5'6. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It is just vanilla. It's a 32 oz container. I'm guessing if y'all are buying the individual cups they don't have 22 g of Protein because they aren't a full 8 oz. the container is black and has an NFL logo on it. I got it at my local walmarts. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

SF Popsicles have a few calories. It's the only thing I actually want to eat and I'm already on soft foods. Good luck tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doc said I could have string cheese. I tried it and after chewing it to death, it was gross. I'm still just doing cottage cheese. I'm still on soft foods. Had my surgery two weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Wow, congratulations! That's awesome. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Exactly! As I was reading this thread, I was thinking the same thing. I hope everything worked out. My dh didn't want me to have surgery but he wasn't not supportive. Now after surgery, he's been amazing. I think he was just scared initially. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have done eggs, both scrambled and over easy. The over easy went down better for me. I've done avocado. I just did tuna salad for the first time and it was just meh. I miss the crunch of onion and pickle. I did some pickle juice and onion salt instead with a ton of old bay. I've done flounder which was good. I'm having trouble with veggies so I just do V8. My mains are cottage cheese and Greek yogurt. I'm boring. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My doc gave me a Calcium and a multi, and they are HUGE! I haven't had any problems though. They are called bariatric best. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What is a bad amount? This has 8g of sugar per 8 oz. I didn't think that was too bad but now you got me scared. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

This is by far the hardest part for me. I have always been a huge Water drinker and would always drink a glass of water before a meal so I wouldn't eat too much. It's very difficult for me to not drink before and while eating. I'm trying though. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just found Dannon Oikos triple zero Greek yogurt and it has 22 G Protein per 8 oz. It will help me cut out a shake a day. I can't eat a whole cup in one sitting but spread out over the day is perfect or even adding to a smoothie! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

For those that take two doses of Prilosec, do y'all take them at the same time or spaced out? And what time of day? I've been taking just one in the morning. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Each doc is different. I started soft foods at day 8. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've been on soft foods since day 8. Each doc is different it seems. I was sleeved 5/23. I have my post op next week, which will put me at day 17, and according to the literature my doc gave me, I should be released at that time to do light weights, cycling, swimming.

I've noticed my stomach growls a lot which used to mean I was hungry and needed to eat, but now it growls but I'm not actually hungry. It's weird. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You can use a banana or maybe some vanilla Greek yogurt or almond milk. My kids have smoothies with frozen berries, vanilla almond milk and a banana, and they seem sweet enough for their liking. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm so scared to find out so I literally take three bites and I'm done. Plus I'm not at all hungry so I almost have to force myself to eat. I'm still on soft foods so really haven't had anything major. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I've only tried premier. They're ok. They have a banana one now that's not bad. I always freeze them til they're slushy which makes them better in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
