P.S. how do I update my profile? Having a hard time

I had a shake with PB2 in it for Breakfast, a Protein Bar for lunch, and salad with fat free dressing for dinner. I cheated the Friday before surgery and had sushi lol. It wasn't too bad. I lost 10 pounds in those 2 weeks. It gives you a jump start on losing weight. If you're anything like me you won't have trouble at all. Though a few on this thread have had some different experiences than I. Good luck!!

Smrogg, where did you find PB2. My grocery store doesn't carry it ????. My hubs found another powder Peanut Butter but different brand. I'm trying it tomorrow!!

[smrogg 49]

I bought the PB2 online. I'm actually having a hard time finding the Isopure.

I went to the dr today for my follow up. I lost 21 pounds!! ???????????????????????? the reason why my incisions itched so much is be I had an allergic reaction to the glue! Dr gave me a prescription to clear it up. Otherwise they said in doing very well.

Already 21 pounds? I'm jealous. I'm down like 8.5 or so

[smrogg 49]

Well, I'm counting from the time I started my preop diet. I've lost 11 pounds since surgery. 10 pounds with the 2 week preop diet

[Arianna0228 25]

Oh ok, I don't feel as bad then, haha.

Congrats ! That really sucks you had an allergy to the glue. I changed my gauze where they pulled out the drain from and it looks gross and not completely sealed.

And today is my birthday!! So I enjoyed some Outback potato Soup and iced tea!!! Felt so good starting on mushy foods!! How about you!!?

[Arianna0228 25]

I'm so jealous... I'm on the full liquid until next monday

[kell778 46]

I'm so sorry Arianna! Just the thought of liquids makes me nauseous but I'm glad I did it to help my tummy heal. You can make it!!!

[TeeNahh 40]

Kell that sounds good, I didn't do anything yesterday I wasn't feeling great (nausea) but I'll finally get to go visit my new niece today. Ariana I'm so sorry, that really freaking sucks a lot !!!

[Arianna0228 25]

Yeah, it does. But that's how this surgeon does it. Clear liquid in the hospital, full liquids until you reach 14 days, pureed for 3 weeks, then solids.
