Sleeved On 4/24

[dreynolds05 10]

I'm now 5 days post op and feel great. Very little pain and and hardly ever hungry. I'm VERY bored with liquids and Soups already. I have had a little chili and other things that's aren't in my diet until next week. Hopefully I'm not hurting anything, I feel fine and only take a couple bites and I'm done. I started at 322pds and was 308 day of surgery. Today I was 295. Down 13pds in 5 days!!!

The pounds coming off feel great, don't they? You've done an excellent job. Just be careful about eating thing with "chunks" too early. You may feel great on the inside but you have a VERY long incision on the inside that needs time and soft foods, gliding by, to heal. IMO - this early on, it wouldn't take much for some small piece of food to get caught in that incision line and cause damage.

Keep Rockin' that Sleeve!!

easy on the chili.... pureed carrots were so filling and tasty !!!, try grilling a portabella mushroom and blending it with fat free cream of mushroom Soup . top it off with grated parmesean cheese. adds tons of flavor and Protein.< /p>

I was sleeved on the 24th too.. Craving foods but I'm getting thru it.. Was going to make a Protein smoothie tonite cuz I've been having trouble getting enough protein, so I got some whey protein Greek yogurt And i was going to blend it with some strawberries until I saw I can't have strawberries because of seeds - so back to the drawing board lol

I was sleeved on April 23 and tomorrow I get to start on purée. I have never been so excited to have mushed up chicken in my life. Hope my gag reflex doesn't kick in!

[dreynolds05 10]

I'm excited to start purée as well! It's not so much because I'm craving thoses foods but because I want something to chew. I'm so sick of liquids! Lol

Wow really? No strawberries?

That was one of my burning questions for my NUT when she came to see me in the hospital, she said I could have them!! But I guess every Doctor is different!

I have made protein powder/ Greek yogurt smoothies, they are good. Maybe you can add some SF Torani Syrup or flavored extract to it!!

That will liven things up!
