I'm three weeks of liquids and then three weeks of pureed foods like apple sauce and cottage cheese. I dont even get half a soft cooked egg till six weeks. It is sooooooo hard!!! I know exactly...

Me too Nicole! It's the worst. Its just about the worst pain right now. Have you tried GasX? Thats helped me a bunch.

Great question Cherly!!! I've been thinking about that a lot and not known how to ask. Thanks!! I'll be curious to read the replies.

I think everyone needs to do whats best for themselves. For me- I couldn't do it because of the extra calories and it might lead to other exceptions. I would also read the label. Sugar free doesnt...

I would have done exactly what you did and not said anything at the time. If it were me cheating, I would have only gotten defensive and maybe even push you away. Now you have the chance to maybe...

Thank you for sharing this! It definitely is something I've been wondering about. Especially being in phase one post-op. My calories are super low and I didn't want it cause a stall.

How frustrating!! It sounds like you are doing everything you are supposed to do and more. Are you getting enough protein? I get my sleeve next thursday, but just finished 12 weeks of classes on...

Thanks so much for posting this! Just ordered mine. Hoping to set my surgery date this week. Fingers crossed;)

Both of those shakes sound great! I havent had my surgery yet and I'm curious- how long does it take you to drink all of the shake?

I havent had mine done yet, but I just wanted to say I think 30 lbs is a huge accomplishment. Everyone loses differently. What I've learned in my classes at Kaiser is that if you get back to the...
