Pureed Stage Recipes
wildrose1966 replied to Krystle Austin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't be going too crazy in cooking and freezing for this stage........it is 'boring' and hard. My fav was buying a rotissarie chicken, throwing it in the blender with a bit of gravy ........ it looked nasty, had the consistancy of thick Peanut Butter (stuck to the roof of my mouth too), but after 4 weeks on liquid, it tasted like heaven. Chicken salad, tuna salad, chili in a blender, still ate Soups (added blenderized cottage cheese for protein). Mashed potatoes (do not make a staple), mashed turnip, sweet potatoe. I was on this stage for 7 days before I could make them more diced than pureed. Good luck. -
I made a post earlier this week but today is officially my 2 month surgiversary. I am really ecstatic with my progress so far and wouldnt change my decision for the world. i love my sleeve and would not change it for the world! i love my portions and i love losing 3 pounds a week. i love being able to work out and last more than 30 minutes. i barely spend any money on food now and sometimes i forget that its time for my DAUGHTER to eat because i'm so not hungry or just full off a shake lol.

redness at port site
BetsyB replied to ausamerican33's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm really sorry--I missed that you were just a couple of days postop. The warmness is likely just fine--your body is still in the VERY early stages of healing. It should resolve over the next week or so. If you develop a fever, or notice drainage from the site, then call your doctor. PLEASE DO NOT PULL ON YOUR INCISION LINE. Causing it to blanch in that manner does not really indicate anything about wound healing, and can badly interrupt it. -
Omg...i Hurt, I Want Food And I Can't Tolerate Milk Products
IowaAndy replied to Joiebean's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
How many weeks are you post op. i will look at my diet plan and see if there is something that i can suggest. -
I'm almost 4 weeks out and still on mushy food. I'm making a pot of lentil soup with finely chopped low sodium ham, carrots, celery and onion!! I can't wait. The house smells so good! Even though I can only eat about 3oz for a meal, the fact that it's filled with protein and smells so yummy gets me excited to eat! Bon appetit!

10 1/2 Weeks Out
Tamara Carter replied to KayKay20's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are doing great!! This is more than just a physical journey. It is definitely an emotional journey as well. I am sure your husband and kids understand and have no hard feelings toward you for your snapping when you were not feeling well. I am glad you are starting to feel like your old self again. I have a feeling you will be in Onederland by the end of next weeks. -

Taking a Cruise ... help
Sosewsue61 replied to pooh6772's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went on a 10 day cruise 3 months out and had no issues with the available food on the cruise, I did not take protein powder with me. You can buy individual packets - like Jay Robb strawberry or orange and a skaker. I took some almonds and my Sip thermos. Three days should be very manageable. -
Just thought I would ask if anyone else has a weird pattern going. I stall for a week or week and a half, then loose steady for about the same time. Does anyone else have days that they have to force themselves to eat ? and when you have a day like that what do you try to eat ?

I am almost 3 weeks post-op. I woke up this morning with terrible vertigo. I've never had vertigo in my life. Has anyone else had this? I realize it could be totally unrelated to surgery.

Freaking Out About Leaks & Complications
thebionicbroad replied to carbgrl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 2 1/2 weeks post-op, and happy as a clam. A 28-pound lighter clam. -
I will be 4 weeks post-op tomorrow and the pain has been pretty manageable for a week or two. Last night I started with pretty intense, left sided abdominal pain near my ribs. I feel a little bit of a knot and assume it's normal healing, but am wondering if anyone else had this. I've been glued to the heating pad most of the day today because of the pain. It's bad enough that I'm nauseous and I don't have any pain meds left. I've been taking Tylenol with little relief. I do have my 1 month follow up on Monday, so I'm trying to hold out until then. Is this normal?

I am beginning my third week and just starting pureed foods. How will I know if I tolerate them or not. Will I get sick, will I have pain, I'm unsure as to what the signs of intolerance are.....

Thank YOU! I'm hoping I'm just counting down the weeks now

R- I agree with the explainations above, but I will say that sometimes 'burp' seems kind of a mild discription for what happens. Last week I had some Pasta, which is usually ok, but this didn't have enough sauce on it so it was really dry, and the PB that took place was a bit violent with my tummy trying to get rid of it. No stomach acid, but it was a little painful. Is this what you are talking about? Either way, if it's happening alot, make sure to take to your doc. Too much can cause slippage and/or erosion.

Time frame for people that have surgery out of town...
Toddy replied to Toddy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Thank you for your responses, they do ease my mind. My daughter is traveling to Tennessee from the east coast of North Carolina because I wanted her to have the same surgeon I had with my band. She's only taking a week off work, so I was a bit concerned about her traveling that far that soon after surgery. -
Calorie Cycling: An NSV for me!
NMJG replied to gamergirl's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yes, your chart is similar to mine. I set my goal for 800 but rarely even come close. I have noticed that this last week (week 5) my avg calories have gone up from 500 a day to around 650 a day. I can eat more things now, but still can't get in veggies or carbs other than an occasional tiny bite at the end of my protein. -
Eating Out On Vacation
Lissa replied to newtonya2012's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Aruba?! Sounds great to me!! At six weeks, you should be at least on soft solids and I imagine that Aruba will have tons of great seafood for you to try! Concentrate on your Protein and getting your Water in and you should do great. I'm jealous of your vacation! Enjoy!! -
Soreness and cramping in legs and arms HELP
_Kate_ replied to Jenyp8409's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I found it difficult getting Water down in the first 3 days so had half and half apple juice/water and drank that ALL day and night I know we are supposed to keep fruit juice down to 4/5 oz a day but whatever works especially in the early days. Try a few different things. Your pouch will accept what it can, then get as much Fluid in as you can and then some more. I hope you feel better soon!! Kate -
Being filled yesterday, you should not be eating solid foods so soon. Having said that, I also have 8cc's in a 11cc band. The feeling you have right now, get used to it. It will not happen as often as it does right now, but it will happen more easily if you are not careful. Give it 2 weeks to make any determination. If still very tight, Dr. can take out a 1/2 cc or so. But it sounds like you are there where your fills will be "Fine Tuning" based on your weight loss. I go back in 2 weeks, and if my weight loss is not good, I may ask for 1/2 cc. Last visit things were fine, and did not get a fill.

Help not up to par
manahane03 replied to Harlee1106's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey! I also had surgery July 22. I just went back to work this week and am exhausted too. My food isn't sitting well and I'm having problems getting my liquids down. I talked with my dr and he thinks it's most likely the stress of going back to work and just having major surgery too. I want to be able to jump up and do so much but I have to remember I do still have limits- it's only been a month!!! Hang in there and take it easy! Hopefully we will both feel better!! -
January or February...getting SO excited!
Mrs_O posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
well, not really a question at all but i got the call today from my surgeons office that they have everything they need for me and that they should call Tuesday to schedule my NUT class and surgery!! Merry Christmas (and upcoming birthday) to me!!! they told us at the first appt that they usually book out about 4 weeks so I'm looking at end of January or early February. can't wait to get that date and connect with some of you others on the same schedule!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
I would say it's not normal but what is? I've seen similar posts from other bandsters so it happens. I still eat my 3 meals and 2 Snacks a day and I'm hungry much of the time. The band has never stopped my hunger, it's only stopped me from eating too much when I do eat. So, it works for me. tmf
