Thanks for the update @mishyk. I wonder if cocotein is sold in the US. I have been drinking coconut water as I love the taste. I also stopped drinking fruit juice on day 3 post op because I don't like all the sugar. I am having the same problem with cold liquids. It is the weirdest sensation so I am sticking with room temp or hot liquids for now. I think my energy levels have been pretty good considering how few calories I have been consuming. Keep us updated please.

I made it home. I think the plane travel tired me out more than my 2.5 mile walk yesterday. My fluid intake is a little down today so I am trying to make up a little tonight. Tomorrow I get to start on protein shakes and yogurt. I can't believe how happy I am about that. I have noticed that I can Handel larger sips now as long the liquid is not cold. I am drinking my water at room temp. I also prefer flavored water now and I never used to. Have any of you been adding unflavored powdered protein to your coffee or yogurt or broths? I bought some and I would like to try and boost some stuff to get my protein up. I am not sure if I just take. Scoop and mix it up?

Just sitting here waiting to board the plane and reflecting a little on how blessed I am . Thank you all for the support and kindness through this journey. Talk to you all later.

Good morning @Sweet as peaches. I think we are all doing really well. It definitely takes some time to learn what works for our new tummies. I can't drink super cold fluids because It feels like a waterfall going down to my stomach. I don't know how else to describe it but I can feel the liquid all the way down and I don't like it.

I have seen that recipe and I can't wait to try it. I think week three for me.

Yes dear husband.

It is 4am pacific time and I am sitting here sipping my leftover btoth....the breakfast of champions lol but seriously we are all champions having made it to this side. I am dreading the 5.5 hour flight, but am excited to be going home. I miss my family. Please say a prayer for save travels for my dh and I. I hope everyone has a great Sunday!!😊

Yes, it really was lovely to walk slowly along the shore. The water felt so nice not that cold at all. I I was amazed at how skimpy the bikinis are in California. Even if I get to my goal weight I would never where a bikini. I would feel like I was walking around in my bra and panties..lol. I guess I am just too old for that.

I keep forgetting you don't have functioning kitchen. That has to be hard. How long until the renovations are done?

Well well I finally had my first BM today. I think the threat of MOM scared my colon into complying. Only on this forum do I feel ok about posting something like that lol.

I would also like to track carbs and fiber so I can know my daily net carb totals. This is important for type 2 diabetics. I would also like to be able to export the data into a spreadsheet. I would also like to be able to link with my Apple Watch for exercise. I second being able to have lower calorie goals.

I am so sorry. I absolutely think your feelings are normal. I hope everything works out so you don't have to reschedule your surgery or at the very least not for very long. Prayers for you and your husband.

Don't feel bad @Sweet as peaches I am on full liquids all next week too. I am actually happy that I get to add in protein shakes lol

That is awesome. People always notice my weight loss in my face also. I'm with you on taking compliments. You deserve it.

I love guac and I definitely plan to have it once I get to that stage. I haven't had a craving yet, but I know it is coming. I was feeling more real hunger today.

Just take things one day at a time. I figure we will all have days where we feel like we are taking one step forward and two back. I haven't even started in protein shakes yet, that will be Monday for me. It seems like most people get sick of them pretty quick. I truly pray you have better day tomorrow. 😊

I am way behind on posts this afternoon. We walked about 2.5 miles today on Mission and Pacific beach. I really think I need to slow down a little. I feel fine, but I am worried I will over do it and pay for it later. Well I have all next week off from work so I will take things a little slower once I get home tomorrow.

My dh and I went to a Peruvian restaurant today and I had some very delicious chicken soup broth while he had ceviche. Of course I was only able to eat a small amount , but I have my snack for later. I really think the only way to get good broth is to make it yourself or buy some that is homemade.

I guess I will ask my nut. I feel like I need some kind of guide line to follow because I definitely don't trust myself. My biggest problem was portion control before surgery.

I was sleeved on May 15 also. How are you doing?

My hubby and I are having a lazy morning at the hotel today. I am feeling very well and I have been able to get more liquids in everyday. We will take a walk on Mission Beach later this afternoon and then go to a Peruvian restaurant that my husband wants to try. How many calories has everyone been getting in daily? Yesterday I was at 298. I am not sure what is normal for this first week or even aid it should matter. I am logging everything in My Fittness Pal, but since everything is a liquid I'm not sure if I should just add everything up and add it under water also? I am only taking my thyroid med, antibiotics, antiacid, and Tylenol before bed. No diabetes medicine since day 2 after surgery!! I hope everyone has a good day!! Headed home tomorrow morning on a 5.5 hour flight. Looking forward to being in my own bed.

Oh no, so sorry that happened to you. Thank you for posting about it. Are you feeling better now? How long did it last?

Yes. Two of my incisions have been itching today.

Thank you @Sweet as peaches, but we are not home yet. We fly home on Sunday morning back to Delaware. We are just staying in San Diego for a couple of days because I have never been here before and I thought it would be nice.

It seems like this is the day for many of us to begin to feel hungry. I am still trying to learn my new stomach and I think I have been moving slower than I really need to out of fear of over eating and getting sick.
