lunch is strained cream of mushroom Soup made with fair life Protein skim milk. I added a dash of onion and garlic powder and a dusting of pepper. ImageUploadedByBariatricPal1413575127.553834.jpgImageUploadedByBariatricPal1413575153.951134.jpgi probably won't finish the whole

1/2 cup serving. But what nice is the fair life milk is 13g Protein per eight ounce. Taste good.

Ps. I had my mom go get me milk of magnesia and I was able to pass gas feeling a bit better than yesterday. I can still feel all this gas moving.

Yumm!!!!

Yes it is actually delicious

Boo, I'm allergic to mushrooms so I couldn't get it at the time. I got cream of broccoli instead.

Today's lunch, refried Beans mixed with a little milk to thin it out some and 1 packet low sodium taco seasoning for flavor. 1/2C serving, I don't think I'll finish the whole thing.

Guess I'll go grab some sugar free jello....

Recipe if from my wls book I was given by the doctor.

This is what I had too! I also added a few scoops of unflavored Protein Powder. It was pretty good =)

I ordered my unjur.y yesterday, since I'm just finishing up my vanilla Cream Protein mix at home. It was really good...but like $35 a jug, unless I buy 3 jugs. I had bought 2 chocolate and 1 vanilla cream. The chocolate is gross. Maybe once I can mix a banana in with it, it might be alright. But anyway--I hear the unjur.y is amazing! So you got the unflavored one, right? I ordered the vanilla. I still have some of my unflavored GENEPRO Protein, so I can keep using that in my broth for now.

Glad you had a pretty good day out! And great job planning ahead, knowing your mom was going to be eating a chicken sandwich! (mouth watering again....LOL) I LOVE LOVE your Wonder Woman thermos!!!

Amylynns, which chocolate shake are you doing preop?

My appt today was pretty uneventful. Just some basic preregistration questions, blood work, and met with the anesthesiologist. I also found out my surgery time had changed. It was scheduled, according to the surgeons office, for an 8:00am arrival and 10:00am surgery, but, when I got to the hospital today, they have me scheduled for a 5:00am arrival and 7:00am surgery! The hospital said that their times are right, but, I'm still going to check next week with the surgeons office!

So I have a weird side effect, nothing bad. After I eat, I get really warm, not sweaty just warm. I assume it's my metabolism ramping up.

Glad your appointment went well! My surgery is at 7AM too! (on Monday)

I'm using a Brand called Bio Trust Protein. But I don't like the chocolate, unless I just chug it, LOL. The vanilla I mix with 1 cup of OJ and it's yummy!!

My creamy vanilla Protein has arrived. I am adding orange or rootbeer extract tastes just like an orange cream sickle or a root beer float.

@@AuriP The warming up maybe a mild case of dumping. My understanding as the food enters the intestines it is rapidly absorbed. You body is "starving" and wants it now. That rapid absorption causes tiered, hot flashes and in some cases nausea and an unwell feeling (sometimes severe). Consider slowing down your eating. Are you taking 20 to 30 minutes to eat the whole thing? I know it's painfully slow. Or maybe something that didn't agree with your pouch.

Tonight's blood sugar was 76. I am going to check it again in an hour and see where it's at, if it's dropped I guess I'm calling the exchange. I have no idea how to give it a little boost since I've had surgery.

[AuriP 420]

Oh I take longer than the 30 minutes. I am going super slow. If this is my dumping, I'll take it over others I've seen. I was really warm with tuna and low fat mayo because the tuna is so dry, again with the Beans, not as severe as the tuna. I haven't had any tuna today so we shall see. It happened last week but I wasn't consuming anything that would cause dumping since I changed up my Protein.< /p>

The hardest thing for me is that I'm Vegan I'm hopeful I can find lots of good alternatives. I just bought 2 books from the UK on how to eat from surgery on. I also found a awesome Bariatric Dr in Houston that is vegan. He also has lots of great information...

Oh ya I'm nine days out...
