Phase 2 diet - full liquids (started 05/24/07)

Man! this is a LOT better than the Phase 1 diet! I have graduated to 6  2-3oz meals a day. The first couple days I couldn't get all 6 in plus 60 gms protein plus the 4 Optisource vitamins (with a  min. 48oz of total liquids) in because I was staying full but now it is pretty easy. I can have creamed soups, puddings, cottage chese, yogurts (all low fat and artifically sweetened). I used 1% milk to make some sugar free pudding and it was pretty good. I highly recommend the Optisource vitamins because they are made specifically for post-bariatric surgery (and to me they taste like orange Pez candies!!). I take 2 in the mornings and the other 2 in the afternoon because they make me feel full. I am taking the Orange Cream Matrix 5.0 protein which gives me 23grams per scoop. I add a little bit more to get in 60-65 grams per day. I wasn't too crazy about the Chocolate flavor. I mix it together and put it in the freezer for a little bit to make it like a "milkshake" for me.
