I really want some caffeined coffee...just one cup in the mornings while getting ready for work..I was sleeved Dec 21st Anyone know if we are allowed to drink coffee and at what stage... My next doctor appt is coming up but just wanted to know what y'all think...

I don't usually it the required amount in but found drinking protein water was killing two birds with one stone...I also got an infused water bottle from my hospital and I like putting lemons or some type of fruit in it to give the water some flavor...

I'm totally hating this puree stage of this diet...I can't even fathom most foods being pureed and appealing...I did make pinto beans and made refried beans...that's about the only thing besides my shakes that I find I can bare...I need more protein and the shakes are so old...I'm only one week post-op and still have three weeks on this crazy diet....[emoji13]

Is the way of life forever? Will I ever be able to go out to eat with my family...2oz at a setting sucks! I know I'll be happy when I'm a size 6 and not a 16 but I'm guessing this way of eating is my new life..

Every year I host a NYE party at my house with friends and family, since I'm 9 days out from my gastic sleeve, I'm just not into it this year, can't drink drink or even really eat...feeling blah...

These are all great answers...I'll be doing the same thing...booking my trip to the beach for July 2017 where I'll be wearing a bikini bc it's the first year in 15 years that I won't be going FAT...yeah to us for the best health choice...even though I will miss eating steak and potato dinners with my husband at our favorite restaurant...lol

I said the same thing "what have I done" but yesterday was day seven post-op and I feel great...hope things get better

You're welcome, I'm here if you have any other questions...I'm not perfect at this but I can tell you how I survived...

Wow, 4 weeks...I thought my two weeks was bad...good luck...I lost 10 lbs in those 2 weeks to which I was so happy...

Oh you're so lucky...my Dr. has me on month of puree, then one month of soft food and then I'll feel like I've been freed from diet jail...lol..not meaning I'm just gonna eat whatever but at least I've been trained to all the sugarfree and no fat stuff...just mean I won't have to put do much thought into every single thing I eat...my hospital gave me two stainless steel 2ounce cups that have been a life saver..I've felt full on that when I do eat...good luck to us...I know I must remember to keep my eye on the prize which is my goal weight...lolDid the 2oz cups help? Is that about how much you're able to eat? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App Yes, that's all I can eat at one setting...I'm not over full or hungry...it's hard to wait the 30 minutes to drink and most of the time I don't but I also found some protein water that's pretty good...I drink the carnation sugar free chocolate powder with fat free milk and it really taste like chocolate milk...lolThanks! I'm trying to find things that will make my life easier after surgery. I have small rocks outside of my house and I'm looking for backless sneakers cause I'm sure I won't be able to tie my shoes right after and I won't be able to walk the rocks in my slippers. I've also been told to get myself a heating pad and a riser for my toilet. Any other suggestions? Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App My dr. told me no heating pad bc the heat on the fresh incisions could cause them to become infected...so I used gel ice packs for the first three days almost all day while awake...it helped so much..it seemed anything I ate or drank at that time caused my stomach to hurt...I'm 7 days out as of today and I haven't felt better, hurts to bend over, so I bend my knees to pick up stuff...I drove for the first time in a week, went shopping for four hours...made sure to take a Protein shake and water...I was definitely pooped and ready to chill...

One is put in a blender and one isn't.. some things I just can't but into a blender and eat, it looks gross.. but some things could be fit both stages like mashed potatoes and stuff like that...

I'm one week post op and I quick taking mine on day five

When you eat the egg salad and such do you eat that alone meaning not with bread or anything...I'm also 6 days post op and so afraid to eat anything...today I branched out and ate cottage cheese and pears all pureed...I know the fruit was probably pure sugar but I ate only 2oz...I'm thinking of making broccoli and cheese but not sure how that will fly once pureed, maybe to gross looking to eat...thanks for your post

Me and you both...hope to be able to have a beer one day...in moderation of course...

I've been craving cottage cheese and fruit...I can't remember if it's okay to eat as long as it is pureed? I'm 6 days out and really not eating much...potato soup, applesauce, pudding and grits are the only things I've had, just playing it safe...

Thanks everyone...I called my nutritionist but had to leave a message...I did eat 2oz of the cottage cheese and pears both pureed...I'm not having anymore pears till I talk to her...now I'm wanting broccoli and cheese? Lol this day has been crazy hungry...I'm 6 days post op...I guess I'm tired of the same o same o...I've been so tired and not up to making any recipes that I was given and most of them seemed disgusting pureed...it's all one big learning experience...I hated my divorce from real food but I knew it was time for a change...

I was told I can eat anything as long as it didn't have seeds and it was pureed...I'm 5 days post-op and I've had potato soup and pinto beans, applesauce, jello, pudding, protein shakes and protein water...I'm hurting but it doesn't matter what I eat or drink I feel the same way after eating...

@@concertchick7 I'm feeling the exact same way, I'm 5 days post op and I dread having to drink...can't even think about eating besides applesauce or pudding or jello...all sugar free of course...the Popsicles are yummy...just got me some protein water...hoping I can make this work...good luck to you...

I feel ya too...I'm taking my nausea pills more than my pain pills...this whole process sucks, I know time will heal but the time in between seems so long...

I'm 5 days post op and it's very hard to get my liquids in...my Husband is concerned that I'm getting dehydrated and I probably am but it hurts to drink in bigger portions...I'm sorta scared that I'm doing something wrong...I know each day will get better as I heal but I honestly didn't know it was going to be this hard

I was sleeved on the 21st and having a hard time getting in my protein and liquids...it causes a weird feeling when I drink anything...hard to sleep, waking up every 3 hours or so, only hurts when I try to move around in my recliner...I did eat potato soup 2ounces and some pinto beans...this is definitely way harder than I expected but what's done is done, I know the days ahead will get easier, just wish it was now....

If I drink to fast I feel very nauseated... glad y'all are doing well...I ate scrambled eggs this morning...did okay...Merry Christmas fellow sleevers

@@Wonder WomanNJ I'm having a hard time with liquids too..
