Onions $uck me up now! And I LIVED them before!!!

What else have you been eating? I've been eating soft foods and fresh fruit! I really did not do the purée stuff, I just made my good extra mushy! I feel fine, down 22 pounds! Your down 22 since surgery?! I'm jealous!!! I'm only down 17. I am still doing purée for the most part. I will cheat with soft foods occasionally though.

You really aren't constipated until like a week. Your fine, take a laxative and move it.

It took my 3weeks but now i feel pretty good. Still a little tired in the pm. But today i started on solid food. I had grilled chicken and squash. It was yummy, i only ate about 1/2 cup total but it was good. Kinda just sits right there on your new tummy. Went for a walk and felt better. I hope you continue to improve. I had soft beef in the crockpot with mushrooms. Yum!!

My post op diet is the same as yours. First 2 days after was clear liquids, then 1 week of full liquids, then week 2-3 purée, 4-8 soft foods and after that back to normal. Right now I'm in week 3 and start week 4 on Friday. Which I have have been incorporating a soft food into my diet. All is going well. I am down 17 lbs since May 7th (surgery date) and other than the fact that I tire easily and my stomach muscles are in pain I feel really good.

That's so cute - it looke like they are giving each other a high five! I know! Totally caught that off guard!!!!! They were having a stare down and were randomly slapping at each other in Irritation.

I love the marinade sounds good! I'm a do the boneless chicken breast, and the cauliflower mash! Sounds yummy I love cauliflower but for me the mash was blah.... Have you noticed your taste buds have changed?

These are my boys. The B&W is Binx (7) and the Ginger Kitty is Tito. (4) I LOVE CATS!!! they are easy, no fuss, and snugly sweet!

I have been a food network junkie for EVER!!! I love Emeril, Paula, Ina, Giada, Bobby, Marcella, Guy, Alton, the Pioneer Woman rocks!! I love them all. I want to be Anthony Bourdain!!! (I know he's not with the network anymore) Triple D is food porn at it's finest! I love to cook!!! I am a really good cook, I have people tell me I need to open a restaurant. I've been cooking since I was a small child.

I start soft foods tomorrow!! Which last night I had half of a bones skinless chicken thy. I put garlic, fresh rosemary and basil (from my garden) olive oil and lemon juice in my mini chopper and made a marinade. The thys got happy in the marinade over night, then I just grilled them up, cut one in half, small spoonful of mashed potato and whala! I took small bites and chewed really well. Did fine!

I had right back pain for the first week and it was sore muscles. If you can't get in your fluids; is it cause your nauseous? Do you need a nausea pill? I hope it gets better, Thank you! Are you doing better? Yes the pain subsided once I started walking more and being more active!

I puréed tri tip and was happy!

Did your doctor prescribe you a nausea medicine?

I'm not put off at all I was simply asking and I'm sorry I don't recall ever speaking with you. So if my question is redundant, oops! I was just trying to figure out your dramatic weight loss but it makes sense now that I know your start weight. That's awesome! Post count? Wow I did not even realize people paid attention to that.

Good for you!! So how much have you lost since surgery? And on the pre op? What was your starting weight?

May 7th here too. 14 lbs gone...this whole trip is Weird

I was sleeved on 5/7 and have been at a stall for a few days now... Maybe like 5

Are you exercising? I walk for half hour a day but Jesus! If I wanted to exercise every day to loose weight AND eat 800 calories I would not have had surgery!

Thank you! I walk daily though. But the my step app sounds cool! I will definitely be checking that out!!

I'm worried that I won't loose big like a lot of people do...

I haven't lost weight in 5 days

I was allowed puréed foods starting week 2, just think of mushy, soft, purée. So like I made homemade refried beans, I made a can of tuna with a tiny bit of mayo and puréed it in the mini chopper. My husband made BBQ Tri Tip and I puréed that an had some mashed potatoes, I made a scrambled egg that was very moist and wet. just think NO big Chunks.

Good luck and see you on the other side! I was sleeved May 7th too!
