Good I'm glad to hear that! I suck the salt off of 3 small pretzels dipped in mustard for flavor!! Then give my dog the pretzel!!

I was sleeved on9/24/12. Not sure if I'm doing good or not. Weighed in at 295 day of surgery now 275? I have lost 20lbs since surgery. My surgeon advanced me to purée to and I had baked chicken n broccoli puréed. Simply delish!

I think that's perfect. I am only down 18 pounds!

I'm still on liquids til the 22nd, but I think I'm going to phase in a bit of cottage cheese for dinner. I am starving at times. It's weird how we all have different advice from different doctors for the same procedure. My doctor didn't even say it to me, I just got the "standard" book he gives to everyone.

Cottage cheese is pretty heavy. I tried puréed Soup and I was soooo sick! Go slow!!!

I still can't have anything but liquids. Going for a scope tomorrow to dilate the hernia that was repaired during surgery. Even liquids hurt going down. I tried a spoonful of yogurt and thought I would die!!

I have just today started to keep track of what I'm eating. Boy am I way off! I'm almost getting my Protein. Water hurts. shakes, I only have a little....applesauce went down fine I guess I should sprinkle Protein Powder on that. pureed food makes me sick.....it hurts my stomach, I have to run to the bathroom and I get the sweats and chills right after eating.

Maybe it's just too soon for solids or purees for us. Liquids hurt sometimes for me too but if I take tiny sips I am ok. I had a hernia repaired too I wonder how much that has to do with the pain???

I was sleeved on the 24th. Have lost 15 lbs since then, but slowing down now. That is ok too. I feel great, and cannot wait for the next stage.
