Hi jenna.. Omg thats awsome.. Im feeling pretty good so far a little tired of the liquids phase but im hanging in there lol.. How about you how are yu feeling?

The only thing is since late lastnight iv been getting sum discomfort in my abdominal area leftside.. Idk wat to,make of it!

[JennaG0902 8]

Hopefully it's just gas trying to make it's way out but if it don't stop I'd definitely call your dr just to be safe I too am getting a little bored with the diet but I am trying to just keep my goal in mind. Tomorrow I can have pureed chili and it sounds like Heaven I can't wait lol.

[Vsgmommy19 3]

I have my follow up appt on wensday.. So If it doesnt get seriously painful all wait till then..

OMG that does sound like heaven yuummy lol.. how are you doing with your Protein intake??

[JennaG0902 8]

Pretty good, I try to have one for Breakfast, lunch and dinner which puts me at 90g of Protein for the day...I'm only required 60-70 so if I can't get that 3rd one completely gone I don't beat myself up over it. How about you? Which one are you using? Do you make it with milk or Water?

[Vsgmommy19 3]

I actually use the shakes that are already ready I bought the Premier Protein shakes at costco wich is 160 cals.. N 30gm of Protein im tryn to get 2 of those in one for brkfst n one for dinner.. How do you prepare your shakes I wana buy da powder once I finish the shakes!

[JennaG0902 8]

I was using those shakes before my surgery and hope to use them again eventually, but I can only take about 4oz at a time right now so I use 1% milk (4oz) and 1 scoop of Protein which gives me 30g of protein and 180 cal. I use the body fortress whey protein from Walmart, I have tried Peanut Butter chocolate and today I am going to try the strawberry mixed with 50/50 strawberry v8 splash (diet). How many ounces can you drink at once right now?

[Vsgmommy19 3]

I can take about 4oz too I can take a little more but I dont wana push it.. But the shake since its a 11oz i drink it in about an hour an ahalf I think..

[JennaG0902 8]

Oh ok. I wish my dr would let me do that that sounds way better lol

[Vsgmommy19 3]

Were are you from?

Hiya vsgmommy

I was sleeves on 3/18 n still on the liquid phase. My first post-op is this wed also!! Yayy! Can't wait to see how much I've lost n hopefully move to puree foods. As of now I can drink 8oz of Protein shake down twice a day. I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder it taste really good. N Soups twice a day about 6 oz. n Water of course but I know not enough. I'm also taking chewable Vitamins twice a day from Bariatric Advantage. They taste a littlw bitter so looking for better ones. We are close n dates we can be buddies!
