Any December Sleevers

[MyssJones 84]

Had my first post op appt today at just under 2 weeks post op.

Details:

~16 lbs down since pre op appt two weeks ago. I'm very excited that in just 14 days I have lost 16 pounds. I Know these numbers will decrease as I add more food to my diet, but I'm honestly very excited and aim to see another 14 come off before I hit 6 weeks post op.

~Not doing good enough with my Protein (not shocking since I don't drink protein shakes). Dr. Lufti says I could sabotage this whole process by becoming protein deficient, so I'm going to try to do better with my efforts. I'm going to start my transition into puréed foods with greek yogurt in an attempt to get the protein ball rolling.

~Doing well with my water/liquid intake. I really only drink Gatorade and Water with lime/lemon.

Not horrible, but I have improvements to make.

Premier Protein shakes are the best. costco sells them

@@MyssJones your progress sounds great. I'm like you with the Protein Shakes. I just can't do it. I am going to try the premier shakes because I have another week of liquids. I am down 18lbs since last Thursday (12/18). Good luck on your progress and keep us posted

I have found with the Protein Shakes that the best I have had so far is Unjury chicken and unflavored in sugar free koolaid. I am doing great at meetings Protein and liquid which I was amazed. Had liquified mashed potatoes and squash for Christmas dinner.< /p>

@@fuzzyangelbear I'm going to try the unflavored. But, I'll have to look at Vitamin Shoppe because I only have a couple more days on full liquids, then I'm on to purée for one-two weeks.

@@WRIGHTLE Congratulations on your loss! You're doing great! Keep up the good work.

Mlcambell24 the surgery went well. In addition to the surgery the doctor repaired a hernia. The nausea from the anastesia made things a little difficult last night but today is a good day so far.
