I am allowed yogurt as soon as I can convince myself to try it! What kind do you use? I bought plain Fage (plan to flavor it with torani) for when I get home.

I've been eating the trader joes brand. Greek plain. Went down pretty easy

Hello everyone!! My surgery is just 4 days away! Nervous bit excited! I have been on the pre-op for the past week and a half and the scale was moving great the first week but this week it shows I have gained 2 lbs...how is that possible??? I am allowed yogurt, fruit or egg in the morning, Protein Shake for lunch and then 4oz lean white meat with a green veggie for dinner and then another Protein shake (which I never do the last shake). With that I am lucky to take in 600 calories a day. Any ideas?

nicky, your body is probably in shock and just adjusting itself. I know it's easier said than done, but just keep doing what you are supposed to be doing, and your body will follow eventually. I promise!

As for me, today is the last day of full liquids. I get to eat pureed foods tomorrow, and I am beyond excited!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! I've been dreaming about refried Beans for some reason....not something I normally eat unless it comes on my plate at a mex. restaurant! I should move to mushies on Monday the 19th and I've already told my husband he needs to take me out for Mexican that day....lol

Trying Unjury choc splendor for the first time. Mixed 1 packet with 12 oz. of 1% milk. Pretty tasty!

ksgirlmomof4 on MFP Think it is a great idea to see what everyone else is eating that is close in dates to myself. Plus I think it will make me more accountable if I know others are "watching". lol

Day 3 post op. I put on real pants today and I can't even begin to zip them up! I am so bloated. I need my last week sleever friends to tell me this is normal.

Sleeved on the 12th and I just got home this morning. Surgery went well, very little pain but a lot of nausea. Was expecting to only be there 2 nights but because I couldn't keep anything down had to stay 3. I feeling better today just not sure how I'm gonna get the fluids in. It took me an hour to drink 4 oz of Protein Drink. Problem is I don't feel like drinking but I guess I'll have to force myself.

My turn is on next Tuesday the 20th. I have to be there by 8:30 for my noon surgery. I'm also seeing my surgeon tomorrow for my preop appointment and on Friday I see my bariatric PCP last time preoperatively. Getting excited...not really nervous though. I've had a number of surgeries in my lifetime. S it's old hat to me...though I'm a little concerned about the anesthesia. I either wake up mean or all lovey dovey. And I tend to sing dirty ditties when it's preop med time. Lol. Oh well.

We are surgery twins! The anticipation is the hardest part. Just think in a few days we are going to be on the road to looking and feeling great for life????

Nice! I know it's starting to bug me how slow time is ticking by but it's nice too. I cannot wait to get this going!

If you want to add me on MFP my username is tparkerc59. I try to track all I eat. Question? Is there a way to alter the goal numbers. I want to up the Protein grams. Thanks

Yes there is, you have to log into MFP from a computer (not a phone). Under the tab My Home click on Goals then Change Goals. Pick the option for custom goals and the you can set the amounts yourself. Hope that helps!
