How's my may 1st sleevers doing?

[anniemay 150]

I had surgery on the 2nd. Still sore' date=' mostly on the left side, and can't sleep comfortably at night. I'm a side sleeper, and I'm nowhere close to ready to roll over.

Other than that, doing well, still hard to bend over, but getting better.

My diet has been pretty good. Here's what I have in a typical day:

Breakfast/morning -

1 scrambled egg with half american cheese single slice - 10g Protein

1 chocolate Premier Protein shake - 30g Protein (takes about an hr to get the whole shake down)

lunch -

some homemade veggie Soup I made and pureed. I used MFP to calculate, it's 6g protein per serving

either cottage cheese or yogurt, depending on which I feel like. 10g-16g protein

dinner -

same as dinner - or eggs. I'm having a hard time knowing what to have for dinner. I'm not ready for meat yet, but I want to try pureed chicken salad or deli lunch meat soon. usually around 10g protein

then I have another premier shake in the evening - 30g protein.

So I'm between 90-100g protein a day, and my calories are around 800. I feel great and I haven't been hungry since before surgery! [/quote']

When did you move to soft foods?

Sounds good great job. I start soft on Wednesday and I made a crockpot of chili with ground turkey

Tried soft food for the first time today and vomited. Was just an egg but upset my stomach. Other foods like Jello broth etc have been ok. I was done on May 1st so I thought I wasn't moving too fast. Help I would like to move towards some regular food!

I am feeling good. Ive lost 10 poubds from my pre-op weight plus the 8 or so i gained during surgery. I'm back at work (ER nurse) and haven't had any problems except today I was a little queasy at work early in the day. I transition to "puréed" foods tomorrow, so I cheated and started tonight with an little bit of taco meat and refrained Beans. I couldn't eat much, and even spit a little out after chewing it forever. I was burpy afterwards but an hour later felt good enough for a few more sips of Water. My meals have been primarily Protein Shakes (Premier), and I don't mind them at all. I've thrown in a little Tomato Soup, pudding and Jello but overall I'm just not a fan of those things or any other "full liquid". So tomorrow I will start experimenting and see what happens.

I started at 325 before 9 day liquid diet I lost 7 lbs then had surgery may 1st and in two weeks lost 18lbs. I feel great. I just started on puréed and the first I ate was tuna fish I had 3 bites then felt sick but the next day I was able to eat cottage cheese and in the evening a scrambled egg. I have to eat slow and stop as soon as I'm full. Which is usually a couple bites.
