Post-Op Tray Picture

[MindiJean 93]

I ordered whatever I wanted off the stage one menu. Most of the time it was three tiny bowls, and usually it was pureed egg, pureed chicken and Greek yogurt.

I didn't get anything in the hospital. I was in overnight; nothing the first day except swabs, and then the second day after my leak test they brought a cup with Water and a medicine cup to measure out ounces. That's it. I went home around 12 that day.

Wow your stay was quick ..

My trays had 1 bowl broth, 1 popsicle, 1 Jello, 1 bottle of Water with packet of crystal light. I hated all of it but tried a bit of each to see what I could tolerate.

That's crazy , I definitely like all of those things !!

I don't do artificial sweeteners, so I didn't like it. broth was ok. Crystal light was ok but they kept bringing me lemon and my mouth was already so dry, the tartness made it worse.

Um, most people have to eat pureed Protein for a few weeks.

So what was the consistency of it and how'd it taste ... I definitely get sick off of consistency and smell and taste ... Like how was it cooked? Like baked then blended ?

[MindiJean 93]

it tasted like pureed egg, chicken and regular greek yogurt. pureed to a pulp. I think it was one ounce? Add salt and pepper.

I don't know anyone who has had the sleeve and not eaten pureed for a while. You can't go straight to regular food. Even now, I'm on soft food, only what I can cut with a fork. Last night's dinner was 3 ounces of baked chicken thigh, cut into tiny pieces and then chewed to a pulp.

I don't have a pureed phase. I have one week full liquids, 3 weeks soft foods and at 5 weeks anything. I probably won't advance that quickly but I'm allowed to.

That's what I should have been practicing when I was eating !! Chewing slow

Pretty lucky ...

I have 14 days liquids only like preop diet, one wheel cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, a few puréed foods, then slowly introduce soft foods over the next few weeks. I am not allowed a "solid" Protein like chicken breast until 6 weeks post surgery
