So wow. Just wow. I would urge you to get your head in the game. I just watched Big Ward on Netflix and they almost had to cancel this woman's surgery cuz her liver was enormous. She was on her "diet" and losing weight cuz she was so fat, but she was still secretly binging on tons of carbs and sugar. And her liver was so big the doc had no space to do her surgery.

I honestly think your RNY experience "may" be different than the sleeve surgeries? But dunno about the hernia repair. I had ice chips in recovery and the entire first day. My surgeon chewed people's asses out for not bringing me my clear liquids tray that night of surgery! The hardest part for me, because I could swallow so easily, was limiting my fluids to 4oz per hour (1oz every 15 minutes). By the end of week 2, I had no hourly limitations on liquids and now, I can easily gulp (but don't) and can easily get down 20oz in about 30 minutes--and that's at 3 weeks. I think maybe the sleevers have a rougher time of it and have more limits? Congrats! You'll do great! Follow doc orders to the T!

How did I miss this? Congrats!! ((hugs))

Ring Ring... Hello Lane? I'm breaking up with you, your slutty little sister Ashley, and your granny's Woman Within!!! BAhahahahahahahaha! Love, @Sosewsue61

We demand piccys!!!! I would laugh my keester off!!!!

Ha! Maybe I can talk ya into something a little more often?

Lemme know results please?!!! Aren't you about 1 week ahead of me? I want so much to try shrimp tomorrow night, but my spidey senses are "pinging," saying DON'T do it!!! Ceviche!!!!!!!!

Hahaha! Well don't eat it all at once silly! No way can I even think of 2 eggs! But having 2-3oz of fortified broth at a time, is doable.

Wahooooo!! Gorgeous girl!!! Congrats!!!

So what??? Where ya bean? Are we just chopped livah these days?

Gosh I just LOVE sitting down to my hot cup of Miralax Protein Decaff Coffee... ...said no ONE ever...

Girl!!! I'm so excited for you!!! Pretty soon, you won't be able to shop in big girls' stores!!! Woman Within will wail and gnash teeth when I go! LOL. They can always count on me for my winter jams (ahem, mah stay-at-home work attire--we have a very lax dress code round these parts)! hehehe

Congrats!!!! That's GOT to put a spring in your skinny step, doesn't it? It's ALL worth it doll!!!

I just went on a shopping spree in ClosetLand (owned by FluffyChix) a couple of days ago! LOL. I folded all my "big girl pants" and put them in a bag to take to GoodWill this weekend. And I found about 6 pairs of pants that will take me through another 20lbs maybe more? They're a loose 20, but beats sh*t out of my 26-30s!!! Wooot! (But I will keep my magic pants until I'm a little below 200, then they will go the graveyard in the sky since they're about 15 years old!) LOL.

Wow! Sounds D-lish!!!! Can't wait till I can eat something like that! Like many of you, I dream of salads and raw veggies! Ha!

OH geeze! I can SO relate. I'm not a sweet girl, and have been mostly low carb for years, so all the sweet liquid protein wore me down over time. LOL. I find now, that I tolerate Premier Protein in decaff used as a creamer. I also tolerate smoothies when they have peanut butter powder and blueberries and spinach, cuz it cuts the sweet. Otherwise, I put unflavored in different things like broth, and in anything I can hide it in! LOL.

I just gotta ask? What makes them nekkid? And @Creekimp13 wins the internet today with the "I love naked anything..." A sentiment, Mr. F. wishes I will soon adopt in this establishment!

Wow! That's 150g or protein a day. And me too on the clear liquids and protein drinks only. I had a target of 80-100g, but cuz I can have issues with too much protein, she told me to shoot for my personal protein goal of 74g...lol.

So pretty much no restrictions, then. What are you currently eating now? And how does it fill you up?

Sam's has a sale on Premier Protein until about March 25th-ish. 1 case = 12 bottles = 30g protein/bottle = $12.99/case = $1.08/bottle (cheaper than eating food--mostly) You need between 2.5-3 bottles of this protein to meet your daily minimum. My surgeon and RD were great with this protein choice.

Color me there!!! That's my giant secret goal @James Marusek!

Breakfast of Champions! LOL. The major difference between my 20's and 50's. ROFLMAO! 20's Breakfast of Champions = Miller Lite on weekends while camping or floating the river... 50's Breakfast of Champions = Miralax + Pr Prot + Decaff... bahahahahaha! Life has a way of being a great equalizer! ROFLMAO!

I had surgery on Tuesday and was working at home on Friday for 2 hours. I felt able to work by Thursday.

Oh dear Lord! You're scared and are gonna try shirataki rice already? LOL. I LOVE that stuff. Makes awesome fried rice, etc, but the thing is, that it's very bouncy and rubbery. It doesn't really break down very well. LOL. So I have a nightmare scenario where it clogs my opening! But I know people here eat it post op. So I know at some point, I'm gonna swallow the sword and try it! And dayum Mamacita! I want shrimp sooooo badly. I want All. The. Shrimp! Ha!!! But foil fish is pretty tasty!!!! And kinda soothes the savage shrimp breast!

Yeah, when I get to the point that I can get my protein in fully and not limited to 1/4c, I'm supposed to only have 3 meals + 1 snack. In a pinch I could have a 2nd snack, but I'm supposed to try to fill it in 3 meals + 1oz protein snack. But, your menu sounds DELICIOUS!!!
