Eating around the sleeve
gettinbacktome replied to Unhappysleever's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Im right with everyone. I had every intentions on following my doctor and the NUT program for me. Im 5 weeks out and I find my self sliding on that slope. Trying things I know I shouldnt. I took my 1yr old to the mall saturday, armed with my protein smoothie. I was going to get him some shoes because striderite was having a sale. Im thinking I can get some walking in while im there. I didnt realize striderite was right next to the nestle toll house cookie shop. I got one cookie. A big cookie that is. Your mind thinks for you. Telling me ive been good. Whats one cookie going to do. I didnt eat it til the evening but goodness I paid for it during the night. Body wasn't ready for those sugars. So I know it will be a struggle for me that I will battle for the rest of my life. -

Mokamami-I sent you a message a while ago. Get in touch with me when you can. I am right with you with those protein shakes. Hard to tolerate for 4 weeks..I can only stomach one a day.Tony gave me some other options not the NUT. -

Mental Challenges!
gettinbacktome replied to Comeflywithme's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I watch a lot of food shows and commercials. LOL I have a family of all men. Hubby and 3 boys and I cook for them. I will be 4 weeks out on the 21st and I am on full liquids. It can be difficult at times to cook knowing I can't eat. I just try to make sure I have whatever I am eating or rather sipping on ready and prepared. And trust me..I will be honest..I am one that has tried to eat food that my sleeve was not ready for. Its not fun. My best advice is to follow your doctors plan and prepare for the tough times. It will get better. -
Greek Yogurt Brands
gettinbacktome replied to rome's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am currectly on full liquids stage. I can have yogurt so my plain is to get Fage plain Greek yogurt and get either peaches in the cup with their natural juices blend them to puree or baby food peaches all natural and mix it together. or I will put the greek yogurt in my nutribullet with frozen or fresh fruit and veggies and blend into a smoothie. I check with my NUT. He said as long as there are no lumps I am good to go. I do plain to get the unflavored Protein powder for additional protein. -
Ok April 21st crew. What food stage are you all in. I think I have the strictest doctor around. I am supposed to do protein shakes only for another 2 weeks..I am SOoooo tired of those shakes!!! Lol
-
Mine is liquid/pureed and its not much of a variety. creamy soups, cream of wheat baby food consistency fruit and yogurt. Not appetizing at all. My doc gave a strict list.

Happy Monday to you. Today is my first day back as well. I feel pretty good. I wore flats today. Lol. But I did wear a lil dress that is noticeably looser than the last time I wore it. Im excited about that.
-

So today is my first day off clear liquids. Im on protein shakes. Between the shakes and water, im full. Lol I havent even got thru half my shake. The nut didn't say I had to drink a certain amount but if I did it would I dont know how you can. It may be because this is the 1st day and my body has 2 adjust. Im just glad its not broth anymore. Lol

Thats the same with my doctor. He has a list for every stage and wants me to stick to each stage list. The list for liquids is minimal but soft foods has more variety. Every doc and plan is different Thats the same with my doctor. He has a list for every stage and wants me to stick to each stage list. The list for liquids is minimal but soft foods has more variety.
