My nut was very overweight and I had a hard time absorbing any info from her . I am just strictly following my surgeons rules . Unfortunately I am only allowed to see the nut 3 times a year with my insurance . But they paid for my sleeve 100% Go figure ...... Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Any suggestions on how to stop carbonated beverages ? My surgery is in August and I am a huge Diet Coke drinker. I have probably cut it in half but can't seem to stop 100% Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My nut told me to follow these 3 rules and I will have no problems ; 1) high Protein 2) if possible sugar free 3) keep fat and carbs under 5% I have been following these three and I am down 35 lbs since 8/17 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 8/31. On puréed stage . Enjoy having egg drop Soup which I am allowed as per my dr and nutritionist . If I have soup for lunch I can probably eat 8 0z before I am full . If I eat egg salad or cottage cheese or hummus etc.... I can eat 4/5 oz before I am full . Is it because the soup is liquid and just moves though the sleeve?

I am 7 days postoperative on puréed but allowed to take my pills whole . I put them one at a time whole in yogurt. They slide right down. Call your dr see if u can take them whole Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 8/31. After literally gagging at the site of broth I somehow got hooked on egg drop Soup. Can't speak to my nutritionist until tomorrow. Does anyone know if this is good or bad . I am on puréed stage Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had my sleeve 8/31. Came home on puréed foods . My surgeon and nut said I should have 3 oz of food 3 times a day with 8oz of Protein shake in between if I can tolerate it. I have no appetite at all . Yesterday I had a meatball I mushed it and it took me over an hour but I did eat it. Needless to say I didn't get the shake in because I was full. I feel like I want to try Peanut Butter it smells good although it has a lot of protein it also has a lot of fat. Did anyone have peanut butter on puréed ?? Is it bad at this stage .

My surgery is 8/31 I am on day 14 of the pre op diet which was 4 shakes a day. For some reason I thought tomorrow was Clear liquids only , but I don't see it in any of my paperwork nor was it mentioned In my pre surgical testing . Did anyone have to do clear liquids 24 hrs prior ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So he is eating all his favorites now. I'm not hungry just having a hard time focusing , I feel like I'm in a fog. They say it gets easier as time goes on . Here's to day 4 !!

I would love to hear everyone's experience with there pre-op diets. I start mine tomorrow for 2 weeks. What helped make it easier and what made it harder.
