1 week out

Hi, I am new to this forum, have been reading it for months now before my surgery.  I was sleeved a week ago today on 8 Aug.  I live in Aus and it is so good to be able to hear how everyone does with this, a Great forum.  I have no problem getting the shakes down or water however am soooo sick of the shakes, I mean I had 3 weeks before the op and now another 2, am really hating it but would never have anything other than what is allowed as I realise the significance of the op I have had.  Can't wait to have some real food Sometime???  I was so scared before this op and thought what am I doing having my stomach cut apart, however this forum kept me going, hearing how everyone was doing down the track I thought ya I can do this too.  Thanks All!

welcome..this forum is amazing im addicted to it..good luck look forward to hearing all ur success..

 Try "doctoring" your shakes up with Torani sugar free syrups (shop.torani.com), or a spoonful of peanut butter! 

You can put the protein in the freezer and scoop it like ice cream.  You can try changing the flavor for instance, I initially purchased vanilla.  I got so tired of it and then tried strawberry and it was better. Finally I bought the chocolate and thats the one I really enjoy.  Remember you had major surgery and you need your protein.

Good luck,

Santos
