I was very nervous. How are you doing? I am still pretty sore I think I over did it today. Rest and pain medicine will be my friend tonight.

It takes a bit to get used to. You have to increase your Protein and Water over the weeks. You won't reach the limits so soon. Follow your nutritionist guidelines as to what foods you can eat. Look at (theworldaccordingtoeggface) website fore food ideas. Hope this helps. I did two Protein shakes a day for a long time to get my protein in. Now I do one a day.

How did your surgery go? I found the first few weeks very challenging figuring out how to get all the Water and Protein while feeling so full. I hope you have good news to report.

It went very well. The surgeon and the hospital were top notch. Surgery itself was smooth sailing. Recovery... at one week out now pain is pretty much gone, eleven more pounds are gone, and diabetes is gone! An awesome bonus. The program at PRH is really phenomenal... Getting Protein is is really easy, I found that using powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and mixing it with skim milk, makes an 8 oz shake that has 29 g of protein... 2 of those and the requirement is about met. I'll also usually have a nectar lemon tea... 23 more grams protein, and replaces a plain Water.< /p>

That is great! Congrats on the diabetes. I developed lactose intolerance a few weeks out and haven't had milk since. I drink unsweetened almond milk, 30 calories in a cup. When do you get to start soft foods? Get ready to start the roller coaster as the next six months will be amazing! I had my surgery in Dec. and people don't recognize me now, diabetes is gone also. Congrats!

Thanks! I see the NUT on Friday and will hopefully progress to the next stage from there. I certainly feel ready! I do like my shakes though. I have been having shakes for Breakfast for almost a year now, I will likely keep that up. I often make them with Almond milk! Good stuff!
