No, not really. I've had canned chicken, canned roast beef (chew chew), hamburger ground like for lasagna n as long as it's juicy it's ok. I even had a Lil salad n it's fine. cheese is fine also, that's really all I've had lol just stuff to chew that's high in Protein besides the lettuce. What about you, how are you doing? ☆Jeni☆

betterme38 replied to Nicole Kahla's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was also sleeved on the 12th n have been able to eat pureed/soft food for a cpl days. I had to have all my liquid n Water down for 5 days then could move on. The tightness I get is telling me I'm full. If you go past that it's gonna try n come back up I learned that the hard way. Also hick ups let's you know when your done some say or a burp. hope this helps a bit ☆Jeni☆ -
I was sleeved 7-12 and only had to do 5 days of Protein n Water now can do pureed foods. My question is...how the hell am I gaining weight already?!?! I lost 21 lbs on 2 week liquid diet then 5 lbs after surgery n now I'm up 5 lbs from my lowest! I'm agrivated, disappointed, wondering what I'm doing so wrong? I drink my water, I can have pureed meat n can't eat a lot of it obviously a cpl small bites n I'm done. I just wonder am I doing something wrong? Is this not gonna work for me even though my stomach is small? Maybe I'm just meant to be fat no matter what... ☆Jeni☆

Ok so I am 5' 5" 1/2 I weigh 312 and I was thinking I wanted the sleeve, now I'm thinking maybe the GB. I'm so confused! I am on meds for HBP, and Prozac for anxiety plus Water pills to help with BP. I am not pre diabetic I do like sweets though just not all the time. I think my thing is breads n pastas and not moving enough obviously. Just needing some input from some that have had this done and if you was debating what did you choose and why. Also I will be getting my surgeon's advice just looking for others also. Thank you ☆Jeni☆ ☆Jeni☆

I will be on vacation during my liquid diet. I actually start my diet 1 day before we leave for vacation. It will be hard well worth it though. Was wondering if anyone else had something special happening during their liquid diet? I wanna still go with my family to eat, just order Soup or take my own shake. How do/did you all do, plus my husband likes the all you can eat places lol. ☆Jeni☆

During your pre-op did you think maybe I shouldn't do this? Did you have 2nd thoughts if so why? I am having second thoughts cause of food...how stupid is that?!?! I don't wanna not be able to eat is what I think. I'm leaving for Vaca n I'm stuck on this all liquid diet while the people around me are gonna be eating BBQ n who knows what else. I'm just so discussed with myself for letting this happen, why in the hell did I do this to myself?!?!?!?! I feel like such a failure right now. All liquids n I have cheated, eating pickles. God I hope tomorrow is better!!! I'm so moody!!! ☆Jeni☆

Ok so day 1 liquid diet and I have diarrhea. Is this common cause I feel like I can't get to far from the bathroom. And premier Protein drinks are so much better than whey!! Omg I may actually be able to do this! Any coupons out there for this stuff lol ☆Jeni☆

Day 4, feeling really good actually. Had lots of energy, worked on our camper getting ready for vacation. Only had 1 Protein drink but will have another shortly. Not real hungry which is good but do need to remember to drink more ☆Jeni☆

So I start my liquid diet Tuesday and I'm starting to freak out a bit. I am getting nervous not really just about the liquids but about after surgery. I guess I never really looked at it but I do eat my feelings as most of us I think. Just nervous I guess no second thoughts just need a new way to handle things like feelings. ☆Jeni☆

Ok so day 3, lil foggy like my brain can't keep up. Have lost 4 lbs since Tuesday :-) Not eating does have its good points I suppose lol I can tell my nerves are a lil shorter also like I can't deal with stress at the moment. To loud gets me agitated quickly, I prolly need a nap. Anyway, how are you all doing? ☆Jeni☆
