Whats the difference between pureed and mushy Demon. Thats also quite a recipe Shell I have to admit I ate alittle bit of chicken meat today. I chewed it up really well before swallowing and it when down ok and tasted awesome. But I'll stick to my pureed foods again. I also managed to go to the bathroom for the first time in 5 days. It was like rock hard sheep's pellets lol. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Glad to say i am pretty much pain free now unless i bang the staples on something or i twist or turn the wrong way. But what i have found is that i need to listen to my body when it needs a rest. As i can run out of energy pretty quickly. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Still got some of my broccoli melt plus my partner brought home awhole lot of fresh fruit so will put some thru the juicer. Just had a half glass of watermelon/pear and banana. But got apple paw paw and mango to work with as well. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Another one is steam some broccoli, add to a pot with a small tub of low fat sour cream and some grated cheese. Mix, melt and blend. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Hard boil the eggs add a pinch of butter and a couple of scoops of mayo and blend together to it is like a paste or what they put on egg sandwiches. Then slowly eat half a teaspoon at a time, remembering to further smooth it out with your tongue. Best warm. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App I use a hand held blender Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App And a pinch of salt Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Breakfast I x berroca 1 sml glass apricot/low greek yogurt and low fat milk (4 tbpn apricot syrup 3 tbpn low greek yogurt half cup low fat milk) lunch 1 sml glass apricot blend 3 spoonful of blended scrambled eggs with mayo dinner Cup chicken soup Cup of tea Plus i have sipped on Water off and on during the day. I also stop when i start to get a tightness in my stomach/chest area. But although im not hungry do wish i could eat more already. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Look my surgeon said the timeframes are a guideline. As long as you listen to your body and keep the food soft. Last night I blended some eggs with some mayo, butter and salt and ate it warm it was sooo nice. As im sick of sweet foods and needed some savory. It was no problem I couldn't eat alot but i stopped when I started getting full. I finished it off for lunch today. So although technically i not supposed to start the pureed stage until tues im already phasing into it. Also im thinking soft mire than runny so i will leave the potato chips, well crusted toast and over baked pastry for abit later. Plus the good news ive list my first 10 kgs. You can blend some of his cottage pie heated snd blended without the pastry or even get your cheese fix with soft mashed potato with melted cheese. Just keep hydrated with Water as well and lastly yes got 18 staples that will need to be pulled out, my last piece of torture lol. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Good to be home for sure. Missing the endone a bit but its not too bad. Just on panadol now. Been given tramadol if it plays up. Cant wait to get on pureed foods and enjoy different tastes, especially savory like shepherds pie, scrambled or poached eggs, mashed potatoes and melted cheese, speaking of which if you get sick of your diet hit me up and i will send u some recipes. Hope you are traveling ok and going well enough. Ps did you have glue or staples for the incisions i got 18 staples. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Ok will do Shell. Is your nausea meds not working. I would follow that up. I think we probably have the toughest couple of weeks ahead of us. So if we can get thru that we should be good Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Demon have you had your staples out yet and if so how did that go. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

If you have the chance take more time off work. I do alot of lifting so im wont go back for 3-4 weeks. My long service came thru just in time. Also i will see my G.P. if i dont feel any the the meds are sufficient. Im not looking be become a junkie but don't want to suffer for no reason either. Remember one day at a time and keep sipping on those fluids. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Hi Xena. Good to hear the scales are moving for you lol and a relaxing week away never hurt anyone. Im looking forward to moving thru the stages. Have they taken the staples out from your chest, was it pretty straightforward or not something to look forward to. I had six incisions with 3+ staples in each.

How are you going Shell. Is the panadol enough or are you having to use up your home stash of oxy. I am getting weaned off endone tonight and getting sent home with panadol too. I hope its enough. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Yeah im getting abit of little burps, some hiccups. But it comes and goes. Overall im feeling much better but will see if the pain returns once im off endone. I have a tea/oj with 160ml choc shake for breakfast. 160ml of soup with another shake for lunch. dinner is another shake with either a soup or a sustegen. Im finding dairy is going down easier than natural juices at the moment. I also drink some Water as well. So i am averaging 800mls+ a day. But its not easy and i have to keep at it. I also am walking for up to 5min 4-5 times a day as well. How long since you had the op? Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Ive been having a small soup for lunch each day but im struggling to get my liquids down as well. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Yes looking forward to getting home. I have 1 week still on liquids then 2 weeks on pureed foods before starting solids. I have been using optislim so dont know how it compares to Optifast but i see myself continuing with it in a semi regular basis, just to help manage my weight loss and allow me a treat or two without feeling guilty. Email me at gtdavis67@hotmail.com if you like as i have alot of recipes that lets say i cant share on here lol Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App I may not be able to access my email till i get home.

I have a choice of thin soup, sustegen shakes, normal thick shakes 150ml, fruit or veg juice and tea and coffee. I find fruit juice to acidic for me at the moment and prefer dairy based drinks. But its a struggle to get 1000mls in a day. Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App

Demon did you get anything for reflux, nausea or for blood thinners to take home? Sent from my SM-G900I using the BariatricPal App
