Glad to see your doing better, time will go by and before you know it you will be eating regular foods. I was sleeved on 4/23 and just now able to eat a 1/4 of a sandwich and have lost 60 pounds. Some things that I really enjoyed eating at your stage (and still do) were yoplait smoothies, Greek yogurt, Panera Soup (well blended), Herbox chicken brooth, and Bariatric Choice banana pudding (12 grams of Protein per serving) which was about 6oz. I also experimented with a Protein Powder that you mixed with Water (kind of like Kool aid mix) that was not too bad called nectar. I would also check out some of the Unjury protein products. Some of my fellow sleeves have rave reviews about it but I didn't try it. Also, Myoplex by EAS has a Protein Shake that had 42 grams of protein for 17oz. And I found that at my local grocery store and at The Vitamin Shoppe. Hope you have a good recovery and good luck. And just an FYI I would not trust a fart at this stage trust me!!!

Just had my sleeve done yesterday. All in all, I'm doing great. Just soreness on the left side but other than that no real pain.

Should get to go home today. Ready to take on the next phase of my journey.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

I had my surgery April 23rd of this year. So farive lost 80 lbs and I can now eat pretty much anything however only in small portions. But what I don't eat I put away and eat later. Down to a loose size 14 and Large shirt. I would not change anything and do not regret doing the surgery at all.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
