Today I had cream of wheat with a little agave. Propel Water, Protein pudding, cup of half broth and half cream of mushroom Soup strained of course, added my GENEPRO flavorless powder, water, 1/2 Greek yogurt 1/2 applesauce. So far I'm at 55 grams of protein. I'm happy.

Yes I am on day 6 of liquid diet I lost another 3 pounds for a total of 22 pounds in 6 days. But then again I do have a lot to lose so that might be why I am losing so much

@@happymama2014 sounds like you are doing a fantastic job at eating. I am have celiac disease so I wont be able to eat oatmeal or cream of wheat and most Soups contain wheat so I guess I will be making my own soups after the surgery

Hi All, One week tomorrow! How am I feeling? Better everyday, started out rough because of soreness, gas, all of the normal but feeling better as each day passes. The hardest thing is trying to get in all my Protein and Water my stomach doesn't hold very much now! I just to to fast forward 6 weeks so I can eat solid foods!

I'm on day 4. Rough few days then better and better! Happy to report I have not had to drink one yucky sweet Protein Drink and was able to get in 60+ Protein ... If you can have dairy try light and fit yogurt from any grocery store and protein pudding from Vitamin shoppe! Wonderful, easy to eat and you can eat small bites over a half hour or ore if needed. Take half at a time. And hot beef broth really goes down well tastes good and mixed with Protein Powder is awesome. Still not sure what's gas what's hungry and whats full vs acid. But I feel so good I feel so blessed to have made this choice. Lbs are dropping so fast. Can't wait til next month, start eating normal small meals and move on with life! Happy mama here ????

Sleeving I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to hear your loss amount!!! Jamie, I'm so glad things are getting easier for you too. You both give me hope, I was on a feed yesterday with many weeks and even months after just making it sound so bad. I know everyone heals different but love to know what things you each did since surgery.
