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.

I eat Beans all the time. My NUT said eating lean chili is good for you. I'm down 93lbs. since July 13.

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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
