OK so I have reached the pureed stage. today all I have eaten was chili. Although that is all I have eaten, it has beans=carbs. Can I gain weight from that? I'm really freaking out! I don't want to move backwards or gain weight.. I was sleeved on the 4th and I've lost 20 lbs so I am TERRIFIED to gain even a half of pound. Any ideas on what I can eat? Tips? Advice?

OK, you really need to chill. Terrified over 1/2 pound. You're gonna bounce all over the place and you need to relax about that. As long as you stay on track, the weight is gonna keep coming off, regardless of what the scale says every 15 minutes.

Did you all advance to puréed in time? I'm planning to stay on liquids for 4 weeks vs 2 bc the weight is melting off, it's crazy. Did any of u stay on liquids longer?

I had to stay on full liqids for 5 weeks and three days. I don't know if I lost weight faster, but was going a little crazy by the end of it.

I think everyone agrees you should follow your NUT and Doctor's instructions.

Yes, I must admit the scale is my best friend/worst enemy at this point. It's hard to stay off but I'm working on it

Turkey chili is a good Protein source. I also had cream of chicken and pea Soup at this stage, cottage cheese, greek yogurt and still make sure you get in all your Protein so Protein shakes.

I have to admit.. the day I got permission to do pureed I went crazy! I had cream of wheat, lumch was a baked potato with no skin with sour cream. Since then I have had chili and spaghetti and yogurt amd cheese. I missed food. Just make sure you track waht u eat and measure! I am still losing weight.

Thank you so much! Today was my first day on pureed and I didn't know what to eat because I was too scared of gaining weight. This really helped

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
