    Re: Full Liquid Diet

    Well, I know different things work for different people. I have come down to only one way to do shakes, thanks to Diane, and I'm sticking with it because I just can't do the rest. I mix one 15g...

    Re: Full Liquid Diet

    Hi Kim - wondered how you were doing. The preop diet is no fun and it doesn't make sense since if we were great at not eating, we wouldn't be on this forum. :) I know others have had soups and stews...

    Re: multi-vitamin making me sick

    All multi vitamins have always messed with my stomach, even before WLS, so I just take mine at bedtime - chewable Centrum at this point. I take them all then so if something decides to hit me wrong,...

    Re: Protein/Carb intake after surgery

    I'm wondering if the carb & fat discussion will come up at my next appointment in a week or so, or if I just need to get with it. For the moment, I'm on what sounds like a much stricter diet than...

    Re: depressed post op ! help

    Sheez Colleen - I've thought the same way as you. I don't know how many times I tried to "do it" without the surgery. I realized a long time ago that if I'd only eat 1/2 cup of food at a time I'd be...

    I'm just starting full liquids and most enjoy the Greek yogurt on my surgeon's list. But split pea soup sounds pretty amazing too! I think as long as you get your protein in there, your stomach...
