Even four years after surgery I still have trouble with chicken sometimes--but I figured out how to make chicken salad right after surgery that we could tolerate and enjoy during the soft foods stage. It's stupid simple but very creamy and delicious, and of course, high protein, high fat, and low carb. I felt stupid when I poasted it 4 years ago but it's actually very popular amongst my blog readers and on pinterest, so I figured I'd share it here. . You’ll wonder if this will be bland and tasteless with just few ingredients, but I promise you, it won’t. Super flavorful and extremely easy. Creamy Chicken Salad recipe

Thank you! I started the blog as a way to track my weight loss after the sleeve, but then I ended up showing people how easy it was to eat well while eating low carb. So I used to post a lot of recipes here. Thought I'd come back and see how things were going Thanks for sharing the blog.

if you're drooling, my job is done

that is definitely one of my all time favorite recipes

AND don't even need to beg! win win!

My surgeon didn't discriminate between thin purée and full liquids so i'm not really sure how to answer. We used it during the full liquids stage.

I'm so glad! I have tons of recipes on the blog, I hope you find others you like.

Hi guys, wanted to share 32 High protein full liquids/soft food recipes with you from my blog: https://twosleevers.com/facet-recipe/?fwp_recipes=full-liquids-soft-foods&fwp_dietary_consider=high-protein I hope you find these helpful!

I had vsg 4 years ago and lost 82 lbs; my husband had surgery the same day and lost 100 lbs. I started a blog to keep up with what I was feeling and eating, and that has now migrated to a full-blown food blog. But I wanted to share this yummy lobster bisque recipe that we used a lot during Post-Op/Full Liquids stage. https://www.twosleevers.com/recipes/post-op-full-liquids-yummy-lobster-bisque-14-gms-protein/

Mine is only 2 days away! Tuesday at noon. I'm scared and excited at the same time. I'm glad I read your post because now I will be more vigilant about the liquids.

Merry Christmas indeed! How are you feeling now?

It was a bratwurst and yes I can now eat an entire sausage at a sitting. Used to be, I'd struggle to eat a fourth of one. No more. Sleeve capacity definitely expands over time, and I now eat as much as my skinny kids.

My goal weight chose me a little. I've always had to work hard to lose and around 155 I was stalled for months despite eating under 800 calories and less than 45 gms of carbs. And I didn't mind how I looked, still had curves, so I decided I was happy at 152. I sway between 147-153 most times. I got to maintenance by increasing calories by 100 each week. Over time you can indeed eat more. I have to force myself to not eat whenever I want to. And I can def put on weight at 1400 calories. So I am still measuring, weighing and tracking daily, still eating under 1200 calories, still can't go over 75 gms of carbs without gaining weight.

What are you having for dinner? http://twosleevers.com/2014/12/pan-grilled-bratwurst-and-steamed-cabbage/

Thank you! Trying to get back to the middle/bottom of my allowable 5 lbs swing right now. Never ends
