Digestion

Anyone understand this?? I can eat 1/4 cup of deviled egg puree, but 2 small bites of any kind of meat puree? The egg is way thicker than then meat too. What gives???

I don't personally understand it but it happens to a lot of people with eggs, they are just hard on the sleeve..

Oh but you are the opposite?

Well even if it's puréed it's still a dense Protein.< /p>

Are you saying this is what you are physically ABLE to do, or what your post-op diet allows?

Okay, that's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure. That's normal. eggs are a funny thing for WLS folks. Sometimes they are easy, sometimes they aren't. I'm not surprised about the meat sticking with you more. And that's a GOOD thing! That is exactly the way it should work! So you are in great shape. Don't rush things...the process and progression is there for a reason and you will definitely get there! Keep up the posting and we will all get through it together.

Thanks for your feedback, ur so knowledgeable. But how is 2 bites helpful? It then becomes a struggle to get in anything else.....

Oh, your surgery is new, so right now Protein is key. Protein is critical to healing, so as long as you get your shakes in first to ensure you get enough, you will be okay. (Along with your minimum Water, of course.) The rest will come...trust me! Now is the time to baby yourself and heal properly. You're doing just fine!
