Pookeyism 1,143 Posted June 11, 2012 Five months out, and really never totally transitioned to solid foods. I think I am going to take a week or two, do a boot camp, and start making thorough notes on my day to day progression back to solids. I will not be goin gback to clears...just protien shakes and exceptionally runny mushies - with a strong emphasis on low-carb. Has anyone else done this?

Globetrotter 1,340 Posted June 11, 2012 I'm not sure I understand what you are looking for clarification on, you are 5 months out and not eating solids yet? So, how would doing mushies and shakes be any different than what you are doing? Or are you trying to say that you have done solids, but would like a "reset" and so are going back on liquids?

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted June 11, 2012 I do occasionally go back and do all liquids for at least 3 days and then just basic stuff like Soups with some veggies in them. It does help me start to move things around. You have lost 90 lbs and that's absolutely fabulous! So proud of you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveDreamer 383 Posted June 11, 2012 I also am not clear when you say you have never transistioned to solid foods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted June 12, 2012 I also am not clear when you say you have never transistioned to solid foods? It should have read "wholly transitioned". There was also a brief explanation that I can't do solids consistently...I am not sure why my phone keeps editing my posts! I do mean go back and start again on a softer level...maybe give my tummy (George) time to do his thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Globetrotter 1,340 Posted June 12, 2012 ah, gotcha! These new phones are supposed to be smart ...? Stupid autocorrect makes my texts look schizophrenic =). I think my recommendation would be increasingly meaty broths, specifically using (red) meat. If you can lull your stomach into complacentcy by hiding the meat in a very liquid broth, and then slowly make the broths richer and meatier, eventually you could be nibbling on something like very moist crock pot pot roast. Also, organic yogurt is always a good thing, rectifies any imbalances you may have of the good gut critters =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calicolea 38 Posted June 12, 2012 I've read that the five day boot camp is a way to re-set your sleeve and help if you think it may have stretched, but haven't seen anything about it helping get solids down. Is it that you can't eat certain foods, or anything that's solid? As long as your healthy........I say whatever you've been doing, since your surgery, is definately working. Ninety pounds since January..... that's amazing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
