Me, too. I burp pretty much with any drink I have.

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.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
