I like the Organic Hellmans. It's been fine on my stomach and I'm 16 days post op. Also the best way to really consume mayo is if you make it yourself. It's fairly easy if u have a food processor. Recipes all over Pinterest. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I think this might be how I will go about it. I don't really get to full on Liquids but solid food and I'm worried I won't get my daily nutritional goals in... Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

How far along are you when was yur surgery ? I started with eggs and crumbled Turkey sausage and that's all I've had room for today. I definately can feel the restriction. I'm actually worried about not being able to get in enough calories when it's time to switch to soft food only. The one thing that is regrettable about the surgery right now is I've totally lost my love of WATER. I drank nothing but Water (and alcohol) over the past couple years and now I have no thirst or want of water. That kinda sucks Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Ohhh ok .. yea I was the exact same. I had a big change around the week Mark. Hang in there I'm only 11 days ahead of u but it got alot better for me. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Your so smart and informed about this subject that is so important to everybody that has this surgery . Thank you !!!! P.s I really hope yur not blowing smoke up our asses... lol just kidding I believe everything you've said. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Totally agree I'm down -15 lbs since surgery.. I stepped on the scale for the 1st time since my post op appointment 8 days ago and I'm down 15 lbs. I'm just keeping track on Myfitnesspal. I'm taking in about 1200 calories a day. The best part about it is I'm not hungry. I used to take in easily 3k calories and work out for 1 1/2 hrs and lose nothing and still be hungry... Now I'm satisfied too the point of being full on 1200 calories. I'm beyond happy. Today was a an amazing day for me. I had so much energy. Now I'm just relaxing watching the world series and hockey.

Hospitality Management... how many calories are u taking in. I use Myfitnesspal and I'm not having any problems taking in 1000-1200 calories at 2 weeks post op Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm at the two week Mark also were u sleeved on the 5th ? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm 14 days post op and after reading this I'm almost positive my surgeon used a large bougie. I'm easily getting in 1200 calories but I'm also in the gym for an hour a day. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I didn't even have a pre op diet at all. Just nothing to eat or drink the night before after 12am. I'm on day 14 post op and I'm doing extremely well Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm right with u bro. I got sleeved on Oct 5th. I got tattoos now but I'm getting both sleeves filled in and a ton more. All over as long as I can hide em with the suit ill be wearing in my career I just graduated college for. How u holding up post op ? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Check out Jersey Jules on YouTube. Or Jerzy Jules. It's one or the other. It's a very inspiring couple videos. He's a NJ policeman who had the surgery 6 mos ago. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I understand the thought process but if your doing so well with what your doing why stop ?? Your body might not react the way you want it too. If anything maybe just incorporate more fluids. you shouldnt be necessarily punishing yourself with the liquid diet instead celebrate how far youve come and just stay on the same track that has helped you too lose 100+ lbs. The liquid diet is torture to me. Im 12 days post op and I hate it so much

Got staples out ??? Does this happen in every staple procedure ? I don't think I get my staples out. Somebody help me out here I'm lost on this and now worried I gotta get ripped open again .. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Use unsweetened Almond Milk for your dairy and lactose free cottage cheese . There's 2 big things that can help u out. Almond milk tastes better in protein shakes imo Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I could easily do 2 McGangbangs... 2 big Macs and 2 spicy Mcchickens. so bad for u Im glad I can never do that again

I waited until my 1st appointment with my surgeon 8 days after the surgery. I was down 11-12 lbs. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Day 3 you should be mentally able to tackle any work you need to get done. Great way to pass time while physically recovering Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Same day I had my procedure done. Curious to see how your doing/handling everything Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Me too had the sleeve on Oct 5th ... how are u doing ?? Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm almost done, im on day 11 but this last week has been very taxing mentally. Post op you can't do much physically and are supposed to stay home and recover. What did most of us do when we sat home ? We ate. That's how we all got here. So strictly liquids for 2 weeks after surgery is so tough. It's worth it too see the scale keep going down but I can't wait to finally get back to regular healthy food I was eating in the months leading up to my surgery on Oct 5th. How did everybody else handle the liquid regime ? Any tips or something too look forward too would be great to hear. As 89hduof now my Starting Weight=280 Surgery Weight=245 Current =232 Goal 180.

This is a great thread. I've drank coffee since day 2 cause my surgeon said it's fine. Today I broke the 2 week liquid only diet and had Cream of Wheat with almond milk and blueberries and I feel full and fine. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yea ya know what it's funny u say that cause my 1st day back on day 8 i immediately went to chest and thought I'd be able to bench press. I did 1 rep and it did not feel right so I stopped immediately and thought ok no more of anything that has to do with the core until at least a month. So now it's just arms, back and shoulders and chest isolation. My recovery hasn't been bad at all. Almost no pain other than the day I woke up from surgery. Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

I started back in the gym Day 8 and have been in every day since. Dr said no weights but I'm just keeping reps high with low weight and 30 mins of cardio... I feel great I'm continuing what I'm doing. I can't wait till I can actually eat food again. This liquid post op diet for 2 full weeks is the worst. Makes me miserable Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app

Damn u reached your goal in 4 mos. My goal weight is 55lbs away and I'm 10 days post op. I know things are different for guys but this makes things sound realistic. Congratulations Sent from my SM-G935T using BariatricPal mobile app
