You're not slipping- you're normal. It's a major change! I'm 12 weeks out and just recently started on hard boiled eggs. I could only do scrambled or over easy. I still have difficulties with white chicken. Get yourself cheese sticks, Nuts, seasoned soy nuts, at about 6weeks I wanted sandwiches- so I did my usual only in a lettuce wrap. Chili and soups became my friend. Lentil soup, split pea, chicken broth with veggies. My challenge was meeting the protein in-take, so I purchase herbal life fruit punch protein drink (14-15grams), mix with water and ice, once a day it was filling and triggered weight loss as I was meeting my protein in-take. Best of luck!

Puréed stage questions
Esoler replied to Charlie Brown's Momma's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
The first two meals I made were Lentil Soup and a Chilli with beans. I also bought baby bells light cheese and yogurts. -
My Nut advise was not to eat anything that the fat was greater than the calories. So to start she said Fat should be 1/2 of the calories or less.

Although your doctor said not to eat unless you are hungry - don't forget to meet your protein requirements! Keep it up - you're doing great!

Benefiber- is tasteless! If you eat bacon - try having an egg and a strip of bacon - always works for me! Best of luck! -

Memorial Weekend BBQ...what to eat?
Esoler replied to FabFemale's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Absolutely chicken - if you are having any issues with food still - my doctor told me dark chicken is easier to process. -

Ask your nutritionist - they usually have samples.

I've been using benefiber - it is tasteless. I use it twice a day in water or in yogurt and it helps!

I'm 9 day post sleeve and I started with the basic broths, today I made a pot of lentil soup with carrots/celery and ham. The ham is a bit hard to process - but the soup came out amazing. Split pea soup. Many soup options, chili, meatballs.

Week 1 post op but can stomach solids...
Esoler replied to Aimee-Belle's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My post-op diet was liquid first week / purée for the second. Follow your gut if you are ready follow the next step of your diet. Just be careful - I'm allowed cheese and I ate it fast - and the pain was unbearable! Best of luck! -
Just be on the look out for a fever, even a low grade fever - if you develop one you need to see your Dr. As long as you don't have a fever, you get relief day by day! Best of luck!
