  1. Yes, I have had no issues with ground turkey, pork or chicken. Or anything else I have eaten for that matter. This was a first. Lesson learned. Next time I'll make it with some pork mixed in. One serving however contains 41g of protien!

    What to scramble eggs in?

    A tsp of butter won't hurt anyone. Don't deprive yourself too much or you'll end up craving foods you can't have, which can lead to binge eating

    Drinking Fluids with Full Liquid

    With liquids I don't think it matters much. Lord knows I had to wash out the nasty taste of the protein shakes with some water. Once you start on real food you shouldn't drink afterwards for an hour.

    8 days post-op - pureed foods

    I started adding soft foods on day 10. Yogurt, cottage cheese first, then wet scrambled eggs. I had no issues with any of them. Just eat them slow.

    POST OP DRAIN

    had mine for two weeks.
  10. same date, and 11 days later I actually gained 1 lb. I'm sure it's normal. I'm going to increase my calorie intake and start exercising this week. I'm sure that will trigger more loss
  11. I agree... I was working out at this point and increasing my calories a bit did help. For sure Seems contrary, but it does work. The body slows down due to the lower caloric intake. You have to spark it by increasing them.
  12. Increase your food and exercise daily. The weight loss will resume

    Soft Foods Help

    stick with protein for now, and chew the heck out of it. I think bananas are too heavy. try cottage cheese, greek yogurt, soft veggies, etc

    sleeved!

    I was successfully sleeved Wednesday, 2/25! Surgery went well, no complications, but I'm in a fair amount of pain. No worries though, a TBSP of pain meds and I'm all good again. They sent me home the next day, and I'm sipping Water. I think I have gas pain, which I have heard about in these forums. Anyway, I'm looking forward to a lifetime of looking and felling better. At 59, I didn't want to enter the golden years with weight complications

    Only losing 1lbs a day

    9 days post op and I've averaged about 1 lb/day. That seems to be the norm until the introduction of soft foods.

    Coffee?

    I'm allowed decaf after one week
  24. I was sleeved 2/25 and have been feeling the same way. Like has been said, broth, water, pops and jello seem to help. I'm getting tired of the shakes. My nut says two weeks liquid, so I'm sticking to that. When I started my pre-op diet I was 251. Today I weighed 232. It is getting better as the hunger is not overwhelming as it was earlier on
