Ok, call me bad, but I hate the purée stage, and I did not do it! I found myself eating soft foods and making it mushy! I haven't had any problems so far! I get my Protein in from eggs, tuna, chicken in the can type of stuff! I have been eating fresh fruit! I bought the unflavored Protein Powder and sprinkle it on my food and the weight is still coming off! I just feel tired easily and it makes it hard to exercise! I was sleeved on May 7, sw was 271, cw is 247! That's how I know it's different strokes for different folks!

And I thought I was weird I'm glad to see my fellow May 7 sleevers are having the same things I do. I like my soft foods my tuna, my scrambled eggs with mushrooms according to my doc it's fine. What I'm having trouble with is Acid reflux and getting my Water in.

I hear ya! My doc actually has more of a soft foods phase more than puree right after the 1 - 2 days liquid phase. I'm losing a lot of weight so I'm good with my doc's advice. I knew eating puree would be very hard for me. I'm a texture gal.

So ur doctor had u on a 1-2 day liquid diet then went straight to soft foods?

My dr had my first 2 days a clear liquid diet an then days 3-14 a full liquid diet. Then puréed for 2 weeks then soft foods.

Yup! We couldn't leave the hospital until we ate a few bites of pureed tuna or cream of chicken Soup. I wanted to go home, and I'll admit it was hard to get that down, but there was no specific amount required - just enough for the nurse to document that a few bites were taken. Mind you, we do the stomach test the morning after surgery. Then we have to get a few sips of liquid. Then we go to puree/soft foods. Then we go home! He said there's no proven reason to stay on liquids and kind of chuckles about it.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
