I did want to mention that I have found the bariatastic app to be great for charting my food, calories, Protein,Water, and it connects to your fitbit! It's really user friendly Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

My calorie intake is 1200 for now and I'm really struggling to get to it but I am getting closer every day. Today wasn't a good day but I'm in Louisiana so it could have been too much heat for me. I am definitely feeling the fullness feeling Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

My energy comes and goes but I think it's more related to my other health issues. My only big concern is not being able to eat my 2 Snacks between meals. I literally can only have a few carrots or apple slices but at least I'm trying! Glad you're doing well Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

I'm glad you're doing well! I'm still doing great! I was able to have a cup of coffee for Breakfast and did great. I'm slowly getting closer to my calorie goal each day. I'm finding it difficult to get the Snacks between meals, but I'm trying to at least have a few apple slices or banana and still not up 64 oz of water- these are my most difficult issues but I'm getting there. I am just so full so quickly. I haven't weighted myself since Thursday bc I'm at our vacation house and no scale here. My dinner is still fish with vegetables and different starches. The burps are the worse but not constant. Lol Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -
I'm on day 5 and still supposed to be on puree diet but I haven't had any nausea or vomiting. I honestly cannot take any more liquid foods. Any suggestions on what to start with regarding soft foods? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

It's weirdest feeling! I felt the same, I was so afraid of being sick and still am yet I had nothing. I also have a high tolerance for pain too and think that contributed to me not feeling as bad! The liquid diet will play major jedi mind tricks but it gets better. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App -

I had my first post op appointment and it went great. Nut and Dr advanced me to the soft foods diet. I just had less than 1/2 piece of baked catfish, 4 pieces of roasted cauliflower and 3 broccoli and 1/2 cup of baked sweet potato and am doing fine. I chewed every bite 20+times, and ate extremely slow. I am now only on my prilec medicine. And am 13 pounds less! ???? Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I am so thankful for everyone's support! It is truly a blessing! I spoke with my nutritionist and she gave me some great tips and advice. I think I was really over focusing on everything and was generally nervous. I definitely think this stage is the hardest because your trying to recover as well as trying to stay focused.

Thanks! I'm eating Greek yogurt for breakfast, drinking apple juice, Vitamin water and water, Protein drinks in between and for dinner either mashed potatoes or chicken broth. It really is all about learning new foods and flavors and learning to lesson to your stomach! It's crazy how much I miss the sensation of chewing. I feel like every day I am doing better getting to my goal water and calorie/protein intake. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

I'm not messing things up, I'm asking for help and support. I am struggling with the Water amount but I am getting closer to my needed amount every day so I think it's something that maybe I personally have to adjust to. I am very confused about the Protein drinks and powder because there are so many to choose and I honestly don't know what to use. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Is there a specific brand of Protein powder to use? It's just difficult to drink that much Water but I'm trying. Thanks for the tips! Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App
