Hello everyone. I'm on my 21 Day Post Op. SW 215 CW 197. I have been lingering between 196 and 198 all week. I don't know if this is a stall or not. I have been introducing more foods in my diet. I am still eating soft/pureed stuff. I ate crab cakes and sashimi. It went down great and a great source of protein though I could only eat a little. I ate 10 pieces of sashimi in a 5 hour time span. I ate a Hershey kisses. I wanted something sweet. I had no problems but I know that can't be a regular thing. I have been doing 3-5 miles of walking daily. I feel great.

Hi! If you are still having trouble getting all your protein give this a try. I love it!
Genepro protein powder I got it from Amazon. Congrats on your success thus far!

Hello Everyone. My Stats are 5'6, SW 215, CW 200.6. I have started walking 3 to 5 miles everyday. I am eating pureed foods and soft foods like bananas and avocados. I take Gummi vitamins with no problem. Milk is also no problem .... it is very refreshing when I drink. For my protein shakes I just drink the EAS they taste good and are easy to go down. I cut the bananas up in small bites and eat it over about a 15 minutes time span for lunch. I also soaked 2 tortilla chips and salsa and mashed it together and it was a good snack. When I first at pureed salmon it felt like it was stuck. I added avocado and it was fine. I'm still having a little trouble getting in all the protein and water. I feel great. I miss meeting my friends for drinks and dinner since it's Summer. But it is worth it!
