Just left my Drs for my 3 week check up which was actually this past Tuesday jut he wasnt in the office.....so i was excited cuz i thought i was gonna be put on soft foods but nope im now able to have pureed food only like baby food consistency ughhhh over 3 weeks and no food and now i have to have mush im so aggravated and i prob shouldnt be but really thought id at least be able to have fish or other soft foods my dr has to be the STRICTEST dr ever so now im on my way home to .puree something YUM....lol

Oh yeah on the plus side im down 24lbs and he said my incision looked much better and should close on its own now

Id have to agree that out of all of us April peeps, your surgeon has to be the strictest. I'm sure his methods are tried and true however, so just keep on following! pureed isn't that bad, and at least you will be able to taste something different. Congrats on the weight loss! Great job!

You will do just fine with puree. If i can you can. I duo agree your surgeon is three strictest of the April peeps. I started puree on day two. Hang in there!

Has anybody had trouble with crystal light everytime I try it it hurts my pouch everytime its so weird referring to my stomach as a pouch

I haven't had any issues. I use it ever day. Plain Water has been hard to drink post op. (Wasnt a problem before)

Actually, I haven't been bothered by anything...hmm....and I'm losing slowly...maybe he didn't do the surgery after all. Lol

No trouble, I just don't like it much anymore. Seems like every flavor is too sweet.

I know ill get through it was just very frustrated i feel like im so far behind everyone on here when it comes to food and now i have 2-4 weeks of pureed

[pebulz 135]

Have a question do you weigh or measure 3 ounces?

[Jodibee 17]

I usually add a little milk to my puréed tuna or chicken salad to make in less dry but not use too much mayo. Can't taste the difference.

Your not alone. I was 1 week liquids, 5 weeks purée, 4 weeks soft. 10 week check up today and just graduated to life style diet.. I was upset too that my diet didn't move faster but I feel the doctors have there reasons from experience. Had my first salad tonight.. Yeah! Be patient ... Time moves faster than you think.
