I am out of work for 6 weeks! I have a very physical job, lifting, pushing, pulling 25 + lbs on a daily basis, not counting the extra stress! So I knew I was planning this saved up my time and I also get short term disability so I took it! My manager and supervisor both are sleevers and they reccomended for me to take the time. I know I am lucky plus it's been nice being home with the kids during the summer...keeping me busy and active! It's truly different for everyone.

I was using Organic Healthy Valley it tasted more like soup than broth and has 9g of protein which was a bonus!

Could I also have a copy of that spreadsheet? Jhay2210@gmail.com. Thanks so much. I'm 3 weeks post op and still on purée but looking forward to some new dishes. Jacquei

I also recieved a card for when I go out. I'm only 2 1/2 wks po so I haven't ventured out to eat yet as I'm still on purée. But when I do go I will probably order some kind of fish with veges and pack the rest up for home.

Wow I can't believe you are back to work! I am out for six weeks. I do a lot of heavy lifting,pushing, & pulling so my dr reccomended me to stay out longer. I don't think I would have the energy for it right now never mind the strength. Make sure you take it easy, don't try to do so much all at once. Your body is still healing. 25 lbs is awesome!!! Congrats...I'm trying to only weigh myself once a week on Wednesdays it's hard to wait but I'm trying. I never thought I would excited to go on the scale!lol

Hi I had my sleeve done on 7/17. Just looking for support here and someone to bounce food ideas off of. I'm doing some purée now for breakfast and dinner, for lunch I'm just drinking my protein shakes and water. It's so hard getting them in so I find it easier to do a liquid lunch. My energy level is coming back. I went out on my own for a bit today and drove myself around. Felt good but I still get tired. Good Luck to all!!

How are you doing? I had my sleeve on the 17th. I'm doing good on the purée diet...it's hard to think of things sometimes especially when family is eating a full meal. I'm down 16 lbs from the start of my pre surg diet. I'm only trying to weighing myself once a week on Wednesday. Hope you are doing good!

Thank you very much I appreciate the welcome! Good luck on your journey, you will not be disappointed for sure!

I'm down 16 lbs after one week pre op diet and one post op week...I feel amazing! It's been a long road and recovery seems like forever but I'm so happy with the decision I made. I know there's still a long journey ahead and I'm ready to take it! My SW 246...1 wk post op 224!!!!
