Im 8 days post op and I am not on purees yet. I have two weeks of full liquids before I move to puree. Its good to hear that you tolerated the pureed foods already. Makes me hopeful that it will go as well for me...in 13 more days Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Slimfast is not a good option- too much sugar - not enough protein. Sent from my KFFOWI using the BariatricPal App Slim fast has a 20gram protein 2 gram sugar shake out now. I have a few of them. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Once you are back to earing solid food you can get your Protein in with other things. They have Protein Bars, protein chips etc. it would be hard to do it without supplements I think because we can't eat that much now. So trying to get all of your protein from meats and other foods only would be tough. Hopefully you'll enjoy done of the protein supplements out there. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

First week: Clear Liquids Weeks 2-3: Full liquids Week 4: pureed foods Week 5: soft foods Week 6: regular foods Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I understand. I am 6 days post op and I was feeling overwhelmed as well. Hang in there and I'm sure as your body heals you'll start to feel better emotionally. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was weighed in the hospital not at home. I was just wondering. Im not focused on that. It was just a question. I always ask about everything. That's just me. I'm most concerned about my nausea. Which of course I asked about in another thread. Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
