3 Weeka Out Pureed Food. I Am Afraid I Am Eating Too Much.



Recommended Posts

I feel like the volume of the amount of Soup has gone up and liquids at one time. I can finish a whole Protein Drink in 10 mins. I am afraid I am doing something wrong.is it okay for me to be able to drink more at this point? I don't want to do damage to sleeve or stretch it out.

I am three weeks out too (purée/ soft foods) and so can I. Sometimes I can drink my Protein 8oz fast (15mins) and sometimes I can't it varies. The other day I was out with my family ( they are visiting) we went to a Chinese restuarant and I had two small pieces of pepper steak, it was really soft and I chewed it over and over. I probably shouldn't have but I went unprepared. I didn't throw up though or felt sick. I felt sick when I had moist chicken breast but thigh meat went down just fine. I can eat baby bel cheese but mozerella cheese sticks feel stuck no matter how much I chew.

I told my nutritionist that I can eat a lot more Soup than anything else, and she said that's normal because it's mostly liquid. I am still eating only about 1/4 cup of other foods.

Sleeve does not stretch. The swelling will go down and you will be able to eat a little more. They removed the stretchy part. As the nuse said, liquids go right through. Wait until you try dense Protein. You will feel the restriction.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
