I couldn't do cream of wheat...I did blend a lot of things. but my favorite is taco bell refried Beans and cheese with mild sauce ....they sell it by the can at Wal Mart and I bought the taco bell resterant sauce. and added 2% cheese. yummy. I also liked the small curd low fat cottage cheese with a little black pepper on it. Mashed avocado was a change. I blended up tortilla Soup OMG it was divine. Good luck. I got to start soft foods yesterday. Its so nice to chew chew chew.

I am on stage 4 and I am 15 days out. It is weird because I can eat regular foods now besides veggies and grains of course. My first 3 days were Clear Liquids. Stage 2 was up to 7 days at full liquids. Stage 3 soft/ purée foods at 1-2 weeks. Stage 4, solid proteins.. I can't handle a lot.. Best food for me is snow or king crab. My belly loves that! Lol.

it's so funny how each doctor is different. I was sleeved 2/11 and I have to do full liquids until 3 weeks before I start puréed. Is it sad I'm counting down the days to cream of wheat/malt o meal? lol

I know it's so weird to see when people start certain stages all so different I couldn't wait until I ate purée I was counting down the days too when I was doing clear liquids and now that I am there I still am mostly getting liquids in lol

I have to wait one week from surgery well actually from when I was discharged to move up in foods. I'm on clear liquids until Thursday then I can add eggs, refried Beans, etc. I'm starting to get actual hunger here bc Jello, broth, and Popsicles aren't cutting it anymore.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
