I eat Tuna Creations. It's a pouch of Tuna. The Lemon Pepper Flavor is 80 calories and 18 grams of protein. In the evening I eat a couple of ounces of salmon--also high protein. Add a greek yogurt in and an 8 oz bottle of clear Isopure protein drink and I have no problem meeting the protein goals.

Hi - mine came early (just a few days after surgery and lasted several days longer than usual. My surgery date was 9/22/16 and haven't had a second one yet so I'll I can tell you is about the first one post op.

I was off 2 days, worked from home the next week and back at the office on day 11. I also have a desk job and I had a bit of a tough time with keeping up with my Water intake and walking frequently once I was back in the office. I got past that and by the next week, everything was smooth sailing.

I was sleeved on 9/22/16 and I never really experienced the gas pains, nor do I have any issues with the foods I've tried. Twice, I think I ate too fast or maybe a little too much and I had some discomfort that lasted about a half an hour. Other than that, it's been smooth sailing. My only issue is that while my clothes have gotten bigger, I've only lost about 8 lbs since surgery and that is with pre-surgery weight of 292. This part is frustrating for me because I had higher expectations. At 3+ weeks, I can now eat about 800 - 900 calories and I'm hitting all my targets. At least I feel good though!

Congratulations - You look fantastic! What a life changer already :-)

My Doctor recommended 1 T of Flax Seed oil. If I can't go for 2 days, I take the Flax Seed oil and will generally go by that evening. I can't imagine the discomfort you must feel. 7 weeks out -- I think I would go to the doctor.

I had the surgery 2 weeks ago. Lost 9 lbs pre-op and about 8 in the first week post op and 0 since. I was beginning to get worried.

I had my one week also today. He told me to try scrambled eggs - it was so good and I could even eat a whole egg before I felt satisfied!

I'm 7 days post op and I had my follow up today. My doctor told me to go home and Tyra scrambled eggs but don't vomit -- exact instructions-- I thought it was funny. He told me to do eggs and soft fish this week K and begin adding other foods as tolerated next week. If you tolerated the one bite of chicken, I would think you are fine. You may wan to just eat mushy things though going forward.

I'm having surgery tomorrow (9/22/16) and I'll work from home tomorrow and return to the office on week 2 -- at least that's the plan.

I'm having surgery tomorrow. My Preop Diet was only 3 days so I'm on Day 3 - clear liquids. I've been very apprehensive about this surgery but I'm finally excited for the weight loss journey ahead of me.

I was on pre-op day 2 yesterday and was very nauseated. I'm on day 3 today which is clear liquid as my surgery is tomorrow. I feel much better today except I've had diarrhea for two days. I think the nausea went away after I ate chicken broth -- you might try that.
