Strange question..Does your poop look different then before surgery? Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Hi! I'm only day 5 post op but have a question... When you make your protein drink it's at least 8 oz right? Is this a meal replacement for you or a snack in addition to your meals? Confused on how someone said they can take a Greek yogurt and glass of Oj with genpro in morning.. Wouldn't that be too much for stomach?? Thanks for your insight Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App Hi! I put one scoop of Genepro (30 gram protein equiv) in about a quarter cup of OJ. So overall very little volume. I take it almost like a shot glass of alcohol. At first I had to take smaller sips. I also have a standard serving of Greek yogourt and my multivitamins in the morning with it. Hope that clarifies! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thanks for that, that makes sense. I was thinking you did 8oz of oj. Gonna try genpro, doing unjury now and I can taste it Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Hi guys! Day 5 for me on full liquids. I finally passed gas and had 2 bowel movements!! Yay! I have been super concerned with constipation because I know that's a side effect, but I have to say I think being on top of my Water has helped. However, I haven't really felt hungry or full it's very strange. I am just eating the amounts that are specified for my plan. I feel like since the surgery though I have cramping on both sides, not in the middle just on the sides. Anyone else experiencing this? And, I have a question for those of you this early out that are able to experience the feeling of fullness... What does it feel like, does it feel like how you felt full before? I'm wondering if my cramping is actually too much water intake ? And it's a full feeling that I'm not used to?? Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

What does full feel like to you? Specifically, where do you feel it? I am 5 days post and never feel full or hungry. I do have constant cramps on both sides ( probably gas) but no full feeling in the middle like before surgery. Any input would be great. Good luck on your journey Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Hmm...We are allowed 1/4-1/2 cup as tolerated. So u think you will be just fine. Every surgeon is different. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Thanks! My plan is 2 weeks pureed, soft food is after that. I'll call my nut. Happy New Year! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Hi all, I keep seeing ricotta bake for the pureed Stage. But I'm confused the directions never say to puree it. Is this on pureed food allowed during the period stage? Thank you in advance Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

How is everyone? Had GB on the 27th, still in a lot of pain. Haven't been able to pass gas yet. Hope all are well Sent from my XT1585 using BariatricPal mobile app

Hoping I can live with the other stuff, but I am worried about back fat ????. Congratulations on the loss! Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Surgery tomorrow...Bowel prep today. Getting nervous Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

What is everyone doing in preparation for their 1st week home? I bought some whey Protein, a lot of diet juice and Soups. I plan on going to trader Joe's for some low fat cream soups. Does anyone have any suggestions for low-fat soups? Sent from my XT1585 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thought I'd share my discovery... I'm on day 4 of the pre op high Protein shake liquid diet. It's definitely challenging and quite a change from eating mindlessly for so long. I wanted to share some things I've discovered regarding the shakes. The shakes when Blended (ninja) can be really nasty to me. I have a box of unflavored and chocolate, I do a scoop of each with a lot of Water and 4 to 6 ounces of plain kefir and it is really drinkable! The tartness of the yogurt cuts down the sweetness from the Protein Powder . Sometimes I throw in a little bit of fruit and spinach as well. I also like my coffee hot not lukewarm ...but they say you can't mix protein with hot liquids because the texture changes, this is true. however... I found an awesome way to drink hot coffee with the protein and the same should hold true for Soups. I slowly slowly mixed two scoops of my protein powder into about 16 ounces of warm coffee I use the thermometer it was about 120 degrees comma if I poured too much protein it would come if I really took my time and adding a little bit it wouldn't call, once I managed to mix my two scoops with no clumps, I then I threw in the microwave for 40 seconds. it became really hot and smooth, no clumps!! I can't believe I've never read this everything on the instructions and everyone says that protein cannot be mixed with hot water but why didn't anyone ever think that we can just reheat it? Maybe this can help someone that likes Hot things like me. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App

Congratulations on your new Journey. I'm sure there are a lot of emotions going on, you made this decision to have a healthier lifestyle definitely remember that. I'm totally expecting depression to set in as I kind of have it now, and I'm only on my 3-day pre-op diet. thank you for sharing the soups I totally forgot about Trader Joe's, need to go there before my surgery ASAP.

What is everyone doing for the liquid diet? I am supposed to do Bariatric Advantage, but heard bad things about the taste. Please share your drink brand. I prefer some non sweet options. Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App
