Sleeved the 29th of April. I just pureed a 1/3 cup of wendys chili, boy did that hit the spot! I added a couple of saltines too. I feel full and fullfilled

Honestly, I snip them off myself. I have a very sharp short scissors (sewing scissors) and it works great! Never had a problem. I bet I have removed 15 of them.

I was going suggest going to Macy's, Younkers or somewhere that sells upper end makeup. Ask all the different counters what they have available to try. Usually can try right there to see if it works. Also try ULTRA if you have one locally.

So crazy I am on pureed too and I cannot have eggs until phase 3. Bummed because I love eggs. Our daughter raises chickens and so mine are farm fresh!

Just wondering is anyone used Dr. Schram. Thanks

I at a WHOLE container of greek yogurt in one sitting. No heavy feeling. It called "Chobani". Is was soooooo good. I tried mashed potatoes with chicken gravy at lunch and it sat like a lead balloon.

I am 2 weeks post op. I have hunger and it is real. I take zantac everyday. It will get better when you get to stage 2. My NUT says to eat every two hours. And I DO !!

I was sleeved April 27. I have a Premeir shake when I get up 30grams of Protein. about every 2-3 hours, I have a small amount of cottage cheese, greek yogurt or mashed Beans, pureed fish, chicken or pork. I drink Water with Profuse in it, 20 grams of protein 24 ounces. I also drink lemon water in the evening. I also have about 2 SF popsicles while watching tv. I usually have 40- 50 ounces of water and over 50 grams of protein in a day. I have not weighed myself since 1 week post op at the doctors office, so I have no idea how I am doing.

It was suggested by my personal doctor to have bariatric surgery. I had never really thought about it. But I have several issues that are directly related to obisity. H/P, back and knee pain, Shortness of breath, extreme fatique. So I started the journey. Good thing I did, in pre-testing they found a cancerous tumor on my kidney. It would have never been caught until too late if it was not for bariatric pretesting. Thank you God! I will like being thinner but honestly it is not the reason I decided to have the sleeve. skip to 10 days post op: Back pain is much less, SOB is almost gone and they already dropped one of my H/P medications. Life is good

Your lucky I had to wait 10 days for anything other than liquids. So what did you decide?

I am only 2 weeks out but have never weighed myself at home. I want to be surprised at the doctors office. I am afraid that our scale and doctors are "off". So next office visit I will compare the two of them, to make sure. I am not one to weigh myself often, so I could hit a stall and not even know it! LOL I just want to feel good and look decent.

Just remember you will be tired, so rest afterwards. But I think you should be fine too. Congrats on having a date!

I understand your fear. But hears How I look at it. If I were going to have a heart attack, I would rather be in the hospital than not. My doctor did a stress echo before he would sleeve me. Gods speed to you!

I am no expert, but I don't think your over drinking. I would drink more Protein shakes rather than broth, IMO. They are more filling and give higher protein.

During the pureed diet? Anybody find any good baby food they liked? Cream of wheat? oatmeal? Thank you Judy

So sorry, Gods speed to you!

Do you use light or low fat mayo? Do you add anything to it? observation........the girl in the unjury Ads..... Looks like Bruce Jenner

It is amazing how today I can take a normal size gulp of Fluid. Up till now It was only tiny sips, took forever to get the shakes down Isopure makes great popsicles . I have more energy than before surgery but tire easily. Egg drop Soup strained if FABULOUS and sits good. Very cheap to buy already made too. I had 90 grams of Protein today, without any difficulty. Earlier post op was about 40 grams. Life is good........

I purchase it through my doctor. Only $15.00 a bottle. Use 2oz per drink. I just purchased berry and that is also good.

I just had mashed potatoes for the first time today. I think I may get Protein powder to add to my foods in the future. I cannot eat a lot yet.

God is good, he is awsome!! thanks for sharing that was interesting.

Congrats!!

I was down 14 pounds! Total of 20lbs. I am cleared to start pureed soft foods on Thursday. I think I need to have a party LOL. I cannot wait. I think I will start with pureed grilled chicken and a taste of mashed potatoes. Oh I don't know, but really excited. They already dropped one of my three B/P meds !! Honestly just a lucky one. I never had pain, soreness yes but not pain. I had no nausea, but I think that is because I was given the option to take "Emend" 3 hours prior to surgery. It is a nausea medications given to chemo patients and for one pill cost me $50.00 with insurance. Worth it , totally worth it. Cleared to take bike rides too. It is a wonderful day. :D :D :D :D

No, she only 10 minutes at a time, but still excited

Are they REALLY unflavored or can you taste it? What kind does everyone use? thanks
