JukeboxJess 15 Posted January 2, 2018 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!Sent from my Pixel using BariatricPal mobile app 1 JukeboxJess reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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]. 1 JukeboxJess reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jbrava24 8 Posted January 2, 2018 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!! 1 MissSimpson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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! 1 Nubbinsd22 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 MissSimpson reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
