Thanks! :D

Great! (*)

Thanks so much :#

Thanks! :D

Thanks everyone! Some great suggestions here! !! I do like the power crunch bars! Very good! I'm the type that needs variety and I think that's sometimes my problem. I seem to be craving more and wanting to eat more often and that needs to STOP! Here are my work badges :

Thanks! Sounds great!

Thanks. I seriously doubt that I "want" to give up and go backwards nor is it that "I don't want to" keep on. It's a real struggle! I hear of other people with more support and tips though, and I think that'd be very helpful. I'm just really tired of trying to get protein. I do not feel like exercising. That's the reality…

How soon can protein bars be added? I know the dr. office can tell me, but just wondering your experience? Thanks!

I'm 3 weeks out and experiencing the same! It's really making me feel like not eating anything. So today I just went with some chicken broth and a little cheese. I'm not sure what to do either.

Same here!!! I really wish there were protein alternatives.

So Wed. will be 3 weeks. I've been so tired lately and not feeling like eating much at all. Yesterday I had a little eggs and cheese and a packet of Healthwise chicken soup. Today I'm still feeling pretty weak and seems like my stomach is a little bloated or very full. I'm hoping this gets better!

Anyone try whey liquid protein 42 fruit punch? It's only 3.5 oz. I'm thinking that amount would be so much easier. But not sure it's a good idea?

Thanks for sharing! The workshop sounds great!

Thanks! It's not really going away today. Not sure what's going on. I'm having so much trouble trying to get in enough fluids too!

Sounds great! I'm looking forward to this after Sat.!

I did think that maybe I wasn't really hungry, but my stomach is growling and I guess I'd say hurting a little. I'm just not much on liquids in general. I do like the Healthwise cream of chicken and tomato soups that I got from my Dr office. I really like popsicles. I need to get to the store for some yogurt and think that…

Sounds good! I'm finding I need variety and am hungry in the day for something with more substance. That's why I'm thinking a good yogurt may help. I'm really looking forward to soft foods next week!!!!! Trying to get through this part. I have found I don't like the blue or orange isopure. And right now the only stores I'm…

Sounds good Rob! Maybe a variation of this will be good in the next phase for me (soft) since I'll be able to add some fish.

I'm trying to do really well and am so far. Just feeling hungry. That's the tough part. I think I need to get some yogurt or something.

Thanks everyone! Had surgery Wed. And going home today! It has definitely been a rough start with nausea, but feeling better today thankfully. Now it's just adjusting. I appreciate the encouragement!

Way to go! Thanks everyone for the info! Today was my final dr appt before surgery on the 6th. I haven't had to do a pre-op diet. I wonder if anyone ever experiences difficulty with the staples being in forever. I suppose I need to go ahead and purchase all the vitamins too. It'll be time soon!

That does help, thanks! This is more of what I was looking for when asking these questions as I have read back through many many posts and these seem to continue to be what I'd like to know more about. I'm worried a little about dumping syndrome and really hope things normalize in that area for me. I guess when it comes to…

Thanks everyone! I'm pretty sure I'm going with sleeve. It's good to hear this information. My goal is to lose about 120-140 lbs. I too am concerned about the dumping, anemia, and rerouting. It sounds like the sleeve is a pretty successful tool. I'm just hoping I can put my mind to it!
