No advice bc my date is also 7/10. Im on day nine of my liquid diet. I moaned about donuts on the phone with my mom today. But the finish line is in sight. Then we begin a totally new battle.

Looking forward to seeing you on the finish line Soto!

Keep in touch and we will take this journey together. Excited but nervous as seen and read many peoples struggles first several weeks but also many great successes first few weeks.

I am 17 days post surgery - sleeve...I was shocked at how hard it was to even drink Water for the first few days. I found that warm Decaf tea with a little honey worked well. Don't be discouraged by how long it takes to drink a Protein shake at first...for me a couple of hours wasn't unusual. At this point, I am doing some pureed foods and very small amounts of soft foods...fish, steamed or sauteed veggies, cottage cheese is and has been a staple for me, ricotto cheese and greek yogurt. One recipe that I really liked for pureed foods was fat free refried Beans, cooked chicken, taco sauce and reduced fat cheese - mix in blender and put in fridge. Then I'd heat up 2 Tbs as a serving. Yummy!

Good luck Kim
