Hello Puree!

[carolc 94]

Yep. Its driving me crazy!

Me too! I called the nurse today because I was really scared that I may never "go" again. She said milk of magnesia and to use Miralax or a benefiber to keep things moving.

So far so good. What kinds of things are you eating?

I just stared puree wednesday. I have had tuna, greek yogurt with canned peach slice in it, mashed up chicken, cottage cheese and 1 Protein Shake a day. The lack of veggies and Fiber is really taking its toll.

What phase are you on?

[seelessofme 63]

I'm on the same phase as you. I have been eating chicken, yogurt, cream of wheat because I tried oatmeal and have discovered I don't like it anymore. I also eat cheese (babybel lite) deli turkey shaved with a few crackers. Today I had tuna for lunch, that alone was 20 grams of Protein with 3-5 crackers. I drink milk and lots of Walmart brand of crystal light. I dont do shakes as they make me go to the bathroom and ive been doing pretty good getting in my protein from food. I use my fitness pal to keep a record of it. My calories run around 500-800 a day. I am losing, like 2 lbs a week. I thought I'd lose more faster but I guess because I had a lower bmi I'm gonna lose slower? Not sure about that. How about you how is your weight loss coming along. I was sleeved 8/14.

I lost 10lbs the first two weeks (plus the 10 i gained in the hospital). I just lost another 3 when I started puree. I feel so much better with real food than that full liquid business, dont you?

I definitely feel more human than I did before. It helps with the cravings. Have you eaten mashed potatoes and what kinds of foods are you blending? I growing tired of the same things.

I had my surgery on Friday with the liquid diet and up to today I have lost 20lbs 60 to go;)

20 in one week AWESOME

I made that ricotta bake...it was so good. I cooked chicken in the crockpot and mashed my portion apart with a fork. I have egg white & cheese, a dollup of greek yogurt on Tomato Soup, cottage cheese. I really haven't blended anything, NUT said if I can mash it with a fork and chew real well it would be fine. I am staying away from bad carbs because they have always been my weakness and so far I haven't had any cravings. Thank you sleeve!

Have you tried anything good?

I am still having one shake a day to get enough Protein. I know what you mean...i take too big a bite and sips without thinking and I forget to go slowly at first. Practice, practice, practice.

It's going to get better!!
