Delicious but heavy.

I’ve been having avocado and chew up chicken really good. Also boil eggs and mash it up with a little bit of olive oil mayo. I had beef stew lol just beef and chewed it up really good. tuna with olive oil mayo. Yea That’s about it for me so far and feeling fine.

So I'm guessing re timing of bypass surgery regarding insurance approval etc.
My extended family is planning a trip and it would be a minimum 6 weeks probably 8 weeks post op. Would that be crazy? We would end up eating out a lot. I'm guessing I could just take a Protein Shake and not order food at restaurants and just have cottage cheese Snacks etc at the condo as my meals. Will I be up to normal activity ie walking, maybe swimming? Would I be able to go to an amusement park?

Just FYI, the Protein in broth is mainly from collagen, a necessary and beneficial amino acid, but a very incomplete Protein. And if you depend on it to meet your protein goals, you could quite quickly find yourself in a mess of trouble.

Thank you everyone!! I'm too weeks post op and have been living off of Beans for the past 3 days. I came up with mashed potatoes instead of using Water I used chicken broth and thinned out with half cup of milk. Turned out to be 13 g of Protein 50g carbs

I'm at two weeks and feel the same way. 22 lbs and hit a stall,for some reason I think that's it. My body is done losing weight just because it's not just melting off as it did the two weeks before. My team says it's normal and should keep losing inches during this stall.

I made vegetable Soup with Bone Broth. Threw it in the Ninja and it was delicious!

@irish_sleever. I know how you feel. I didn’t want to tell anyone but I work in the medical field. I did manage to keep it from my family (except hubby who is totally behind me). I’m waiting on insurance approval and that damm phone call I feel will never come. I’m hoping for. November but will be happy with December as long as it’s this year. Good luck!!!!! We got this.

I believe it's ricotta, marinara, cheese, an egg, and Italian spices. Mix it all and bake it. Sounds amazing. I can't wait until I am on purees [emoji23] I miss food.
You can also make chicken/ tuna salad, hard boiled eggs chicken or tuna and mayo
Cottage cheese and fruit of choice
Meatballs marinara and cheese
Chicken, Frank's wing sauce, blue cheese dressing.

These are just a few ideas I've seen [emoji4]

I've heard people say that things taste different after barriatric surgery,but how soon after did everyone (if you did at all) experience this?

I'm 2 weeks post op and seemed like it happened over night. Muscle milk in which tasted alright before now tastes like sour milk to me and Gatorade tastes super salty and filled with chemicals.

How soon did your taste buds change after surgery and did they ever go back?

This is my first "meal" since surgery, day one of phase 3. One egg scrambled with one teaspoon of whole milk, a sprinkle of black pepper and paprika and 1/4 of banana. Unfortunately this is the post pic as I forgot to take a pre pic but gotta tell you it was not that much larger. I only had about 4 SMALL bites of the egg and started getting that good old feeling right at my sternum area. The 4 bites were over a period of about 10-15 minutes. Very odd feeling to eat such a small amount and have a full belly. This is going to be weird getting used to.

Guess what!!!!!! I am 199.8!!!!! I finally broke the 100’s!!!!!!!!! Also I fit In my husbands pants and they look great on my butt.

This is the first time since my Grandfather died 8 years ago, that my grandmother is cooking dinner. She does deep south southern cooking that makes you slap your mama. Everything from scratch and she cooks everything you could imagine. Lucky me is still on clear liquids.. YEA! (sarcasm) I'm 6 days post op. Half my family is against this surgery and the other half don't care. So this should be interesting for me. But as far as what I will do, I will have a glass with my sugar free juice walk around and socialize and help with the kids and hopefully no one will notice me not eating. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.

I have to start a 14 day liquid diet this weekend. How come some are 7 days and others 14? Really nervous about starting.

I was an emotional, regretful mess 3 days out while sitting in front of my family at a restaurant ordering yummy good while I had my dumb boring shake to drink.
This too shall pass.
It's part of the process.
You are stronger than what your mind makes you believe.
Hang in there, for me I started feeling better at about day 5-6.

You described me to a T!
I'm day 6 post op and went on a trip to visit my step-children with my fiance. Watching them eat all of the foods that I would essentially indulge on were eaten right in front of me.
I'm not going to lie. I had a weepy meltdown wondering if it was the right decision having my sleeve. I cried,put myself back together, and reminded myself WHY I decided to do this in the first place. I didn't let all of the pizza, burgers,nuggets,corn dogs,fried chicken, and Desserts fool me.
I am stronger than that.
I want to be healthy.
Stay strong girl,it gets better.
Keep a shake handy to sip on as everyone else has a meal so you fool your stomach.

Hi all, I am 6 days post-op and traveled starting 3 days post operatively. TSA will allow liquids if you have proof that you are on liquid diet or need to bring food with you. They will pat you down,but I did great throughout all airports. All airports have a smoothie shop somewhere,if not,I would snag a muscle milk at any magazine shop.
