Hi all,
Thought I'd say hi. Sleeved on 12/18, so I'm on phase 2. I'm scared to introduce too much too quickly. So far, just tried yogurt, applesauce, and SF pudding. Finally got some unflavored Protein Powder, too! Anyone try it with mashed potatoes?
Also, sorry if this is TMI, but I've had nothing but loose stools for the last week or so (after being constipated at first, go figure!) Other than that, I've felt good!

I haven't, but I made some sweet potatoes with chicken Bone Broth, and blended them with spices, and it was like thicker baby food consistency. It was delicious! The sweet potatoes have lots of good Vitamins and bone both has 9 grams of protein per cup, so it worked well. I'm hoping to experiment with some other things like that this week. I steamed some butternut squash that I haven't used yet [emoji4].

I am one week post-op today! Yay, I made an entire week!! Anyways I haven’t been driving, but today I drove about 10 minutes away from home and got nauseous. I was wondering if anybody else feels this way when they drive? I go back to work tomorrow and I have about a 45 minute commute each way and I’m worried about getting sick 😩. Congrats to any other 12/26 sleevers!! We made an entire week!! I’ll admit at times I didn’t think I would, but we did!!

I too am back to work with a similar commute actually 2 hours in the evening. I did alright this morning however, I made some adjustments for my abdomen. (A makeshift roll so that the seat belt wouldn't rub me) also I took care to take one of the meds for nausea before I left. I am doing my best to get up and walk around a bit like every 45 mins if I am able to. My stomach is at a 6 - 7 painwise. I have my Water, Soup, and an applesauce squeeze pack, Protein for Breakfast. Wishing you all a great day!

Well I’m a teacher so standing up will definitely not be a problem lol. I have my nausea meds, I’m just worried about them making me tired :( and yes I plan to have all my meals ready to go, so I don’t mess anything up.

My doctor said 4 weeks off of work, but cleared me to go back after 7 days because I work at a sit down job in an office.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
