I love PB2 - still get to have peanut butter, but in smaller portions and it's so much lower in fat.

@Arendiva we are surgery date twins! How is it going so far? I did experience the 3 week stall, but the scale is moving again. I'm feeling pretty good, overall. I have thrown up a couple of times - either when something didn't sit right or I overate.

Hi Walterblock1 I'm 11 days post op (sleeve) and also had pretty significant gas pains. I found that walking really helped me. I'd get up every 2 hours or so and walk a bit. Also, even though it was uncomfortable, try to take some deeper breaths. Did they give you a spirometer in the hospital? I'm still using it at home and I can really see a difference. It WILL dissipate, just takes a few days. Now, I'm up to walking 30 min on the treadmill and feeling great. Hope your recovery goes well!!

I am 4 days post op (sleeve) and had a tiny poop today. We're talking between the size of a regular M&M and a peanut M&M. Still a victory and not surprising, considering all I have had is liquid for 2 days pre-op and 3 days post. By the way, I've always been a regular pooper...hope that's not TMI!!

This is day 2 for me. I'm still in the hospital, but tolerating everything I have tried so far - pretty grateful for that Popsicle, Broth, Jell-O, Gatorade My favorite is ice 🧊 chips. I am getting up and walking every few hours, which is recommended!!

Congrats! I'm going g in on the 20th. How was your pain after surgery? Sleeve or bypass? Is the liquid ok to swallow?

Welcome! Surgery can be scary. Mine (sleeve) is next Friday, but I am following all the suggestions made by my surgery team and trying to remain in faith rather than fear. This is a wonderful tool we can use to reach our goals. Try to remain positive & remember that we CAN do hard things!!

I like the Premier protein drinks. So far, my favorite flavors are chocolate, vanilla & caffe latte. I have also tried caramel, chocolate peanut butter & pumpkin spice - all a bit sweet for my taste. I'm on the Pre-op diet with surgery scheduled on the 20th. It is perfectly normal to be scared - I know I am! This is life changing, but we got this 👍

@Summerseeker - I am new to the group with VSG scheduled for 10/20. I love your graph below and your stats on the side. How can I get those on mine?

Im on the Pre-op diet now, surgery date is 10/20. Getting nervous, and excited!!
