I have had unsweetened apple juice and done well. I am having trouble expanding my diet from cheese, eggs, refried Beans and yogurt. I am hesitant to explore for fear of puking. I am down 40 pounds since Dec. 17 surgery date. My husband said I look like a clown in my clothes so I went shopping today. I now own yoga pants! Never fit before.

I am 4 weeks out of surgery and cannot tolerate much. I get so much nausea and feel like total crap. I'm not even able to get all the Water I should be.

Have you talked with doc about medicine to help the nausea? I sip small amounts all day. Drives me insane and it's not easy. If you get dehydrated you feel even worse.

I've gotten some. I guess I keep trying it without because at some point I have to get off of it! I have an appointment with her on Wednesday.

Same here I haven't tried juice because of the sugar but my nut said 100% juice no added sugar and Water it down.

I use the tropicana 50. It has half the sugar than regular juice. I have tolerated it a lot better than watered down juice

Oh, I'm so envious!! I had surgery the same day and have been stalled 3 weeks. I have lost 24 lbs since starting the pre liquid and only 14 since surgery. I am so proud for you and it gives me hope. I'm a slow loser in General so it will happen, I guess. At least eating healthy and not gaining so just holding on. Keep up the good work!!!

I am 4 weeks out. Have not eaten vegetables yet. Looking to have some tonight. Any suggestions on a good place to start?

I am craving veggies, but my doc said no for the first 3 months! Don't think I'm going to make it so let me know what works for you.

Another post-op visit with Dr. Lahmann today. Can't wait to weigh! I try and wear very similar clothes each time so my weight is pretty accurate. Meeting up with friends at a restaurant afterwards for a birthday celebration. I think it will be a little overwhelming for me. food and drinks---- wasn't sure intially if I wanted to go...! First time out with friends since surgery.

Let me know how it goes. I turned down a birthday outing with friends when I was 2 weeks post op. I'm timid about going to a restaurant.

Found this at the store. It's like a flavored water but better. Only 1 gram of sugar and 10 cal. It taste so good. Anyone else drink these? Good morning friends

I used to drink them a lot. My daughter likes them too and will still get one every now and then.

Hmm I think it taste like juice! Also I have a question I really want grape juice. It has sugar but if I get a no added sugar 100% juice is that sugar okay? fruit just has sugar in it.... Thoughts? Does anyone drink juice?

I think the 50/50 was ok. Might want to ask your Nut

I'm right there with you! I have lost a total of 34 lbs since 12/6/12. Surgery was 12/20/12. I have lost 20 since then.

[one4ozzie 434]

Gen that is not going to happen. You did remarkable with this surgery I would expect no less from you with this other surgery. I apologize for giving information that has given you doubts.

It's ok. I would have had anxiety anyways. Third time going under in a month and half makes me a little or a lot anxious.

Geez I wished I could lose weight like you. Are you working out?

Honestly, I've gotten used to the dumping. My stomach isn't tolerating chicken breast very well. But I love it and keep insisting on trying it every few days, but... It is always w chicken :-( maybe I won't be able to eat it for a long time :-(
