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...
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...
Welcome Kathleen! I'm just one day ahead of you and I hope you're feeling as great and full of energy as me! What a life-changing event that I seemed to wait for forever, then it was time, then all...
Woohoo! I'm excited for you Kelley!! May it all move along smoothly for you, and fast!! :)
Hi and welcome! I'm a week and a half post op and found this site a month or so before my surgery. You're getting a lot better jump-start on gathering info. than I got and while it might be hard to...
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,...
Hi Mari! First I have to say that I'm only a week and a half out but you sound so worried that I wanted to jump in and say that if you read around on this site, you'll see yours is a common complaint...
I can't imagine much worse than sitting through a BBQ at the moment! I worried about getting depressed a little afterward but fortunately it hasn't hit me so far. I healed with my daughter,...
Well, I'm not on solid foods for a while but I bookmarked the site because you're right. It's full of great WLS friendly recipes. I like the idea of making little muffin-like "corned beef and cabbage...
Hi and welcome! I'm exactly one week out so you're set for a month after me. I'm happy for you because I'm very happy for me. Great decision and I'm pulling for you!! :)
Great site - the more you read, the more you'll learn. Good luck with your decision and welcome aboard! :)
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...
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...
Well accordingtome, I am feeling better every day. Like you, I overdid yesterday a little but actually slept the whole night with no headache or any discomfort and woke with the dawn. I've been...
No kidding! Cream of wheat is also on my list (and oatmeal) diluted with milk. And now, sugar!! :) Actually, nonfat milk also has carbs - maybe 12 or so a cup, so getting no carbs would be pretty...
Hi and welcome to our family! Congratulations on your sleeve. I am also 4 days post-op and don't think I'd have been nearly as prepared if I hadn't run into this site a month or so before surgery. It...
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...
Hi! Great question!! I hadn't even thought about carbs until my surgeon said yesterday that I needed 30 g. of carbs a day, even if it meant using 2 teaspoons of sugar in my protein drinks for the...
Oh my - I could have written your post. I was sleeved on Monday so this is 3 days post for me. I've been asking myself the same question about why I did this but I remember reading so many posts...
Hi and congratulations on your decision! You're very smart to prepare ahead, especially with a 4-year old at home. I'd suggest you try out the protein drinks you intend to use and be sure they're...
Congratulations and welcome aboard! I was just sleeved on 3/14 and I have learned just how much strength it takes to go through this but surprisingly, it is as everyone says. NO regrets! How are you...
I'm right behind you - was sleeved on Monday and am just starting to come back to life. My daughter and family came down to take care of me and I had to decide early on that I was choosing this...
Wow - bunch of us back to back. We had the first tsunami warning since I've been on the Oregon coast at the end of the week, huge thunder storms and high winds today...assuming the weather permits,...
Welcome Molly! How exciting! Being a little apprehensive is right in there, and for me it was followed by this excitement and hope and joy. I hope your appointment goes well and all the pieces come...
