Hello Puree!

[dobrien03 31]

I am bringing what's left if my Isopure with me to my one week checkup. I plan on leaving it there is I am moving to the next step.

Great job! I can't wait until Monday since I'll move to the soft food stage. Cannot wait to eat something other than a Protein Shake or Soup. (Not that I have any appetite...) I'm down 8 pounds so far.

Wow!! I don't get full quick. I honestly think it bc I had the Lap band. Dr removed it the same day as as I was sleeved.. I'll eat a little more than 1/4 of a cup of refried Beans with 1 slice of cheese(muenster) and 1tbs of home made salsa verde and I'll be good for 3 hours ' date=' then have my protien shake... And so on.. I have lost inches.. I was a size 14 now I'm a 12.. I guess I'm going to lose it more slow becuase I'm not a virgin to wls? Good luck to u. I'm going to schedule an appointment to see the nut.. [/quote']

I meant to add that i too think i am going to be a slow lpser but im ok with that as long as my health is better which i had high bp for a yr and as of my one wk follow up it has been normal! Its amazing how quick it went down.

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

Well saw my surgeon today....I was sleeved on 8-22-12 was hoping to get to go to soft/smooth/puree foods but nope, one more week on Clear liquids and Protein shakes. On the positive side, at least I get something and the shakes fill me up! I get to start the soft foods next Thursday.

Date of surgery I weighed in at 221 down to 200 today. Off all meds and good Blood pressure. Soon to be under 200 and it feels so good!!! People are noticing and commenting...I'm so excited for this new journey.

Hope all is going well with everyone else...I have soft food ready and frozen for the day I get to indulge. Counting down!!!

God Bless you all...I enjoy this forum and the information and suggestions I find here.

I was sleeved on 8/21. My post op appt. was today, so I thought I got to go to full liquid/puree, but I was told I have to stay on liquids for a bit longer. I cried really hard when I left the office! lol I'm so sick of Protein Drinks and would KILL for some food! I too am a SF popsicle maniac! They are the only thing keeping me going.

I was sleeved on 8/02 and just this week got to have pureed foods. The first few days have been challenging, to say the least. I thought I was ready to eat food but have found that liquids go down MUCH easier. I had some refried Beans tonight and brought home a container that probably has 4-5 more meals in it. They taste good but just not much space in there and if I take one bite more than I should, I regret for at least 30 minutes. The best thing I have tried so far is grits with some extra milk to make them thinner. I have not tried blended meats at all yet.

Good luck to all of you getting to eat now. My advice is to go slowly........

[Mensch 150]

I'm scared!! I was sleeved 8/20 and have my follow up with my surgeon tomorrow. I pray i get approved to move to purée!! Geesh I can do another week of liquids, but I swear I don't want to!!

I'm 4 weeks out and haven't lost weight for 2 weeks. I was sleeved 8/7 from 179 now 165. I've been eating 1000-1200 calories daily. I workout everyday and weights every other day. Not sure what I'm doing Wrong..

I had surgery a week later and I average 400 calories a day! My NUT says 500-600 is average for the first few months and at a year increase to 1,000. What does your NUT reccomend?

[doxieville 799]

Mensch, let us know how your appt w the doc goes. I've been following your progress. :-)

Ok, now for some TMI talk... How is everyone doing as far as going to the bathroom? Is anyone else really constipated all of a sudden?
