APURNELL 10 Posted August 12, 2014 I am 3 1/2 weeks post op and the purée is ok but still be careful of what you eat. I was also looking forward to mashed potatoes and my new stomach was not loving them! I even thinned them out with chicken broth and they made me so sick! I stick to eggs, yogurt, chicken Soup, and a lentil soup, I will occasionally have some very moist fish. I was told I can have eggs and fish solid as long as they were kept moist. Good Luck ladies and guys. It is so worth it! I'm down 25lbs/total of 32lbs and counting! THANKS!!! YOU'RE RIGHT I'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT I CAN TOLERATE OR EVEN LIKE WITH THIS NEW STOMACH. THINNING OUT SEEMS LIKE A GREAT IDEA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evelynDJ 1 Posted August 12, 2014 This totally made my day. I haven't laughed this hard in awhile. It's comforting to know I'm not the only one sick of post-op liquid diet. I got sleeved on 7/28 and so far have lost 20#. I have a lot of energy but I need more liquid diet ideas. Im so over it.....I keep thinking maybe my Dr will let me start purees sooner than later. Thanks all for sharing. 1 bebenubbins reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RyanSleeve2014 27 Posted August 16, 2014 OMG! This post just saved my life! I am 1 week out of surgery (8/8) and have had a pretty good recovery, but is am craving foods like crazy! I know so much of this is my head taking, but man, I didn't expect this part to be so hard. It's harder than the pre-op was for me. So glad to hear it will pass, but thank you so much for bringing this up!! Also, as hungry as I am, I am having a hard time getting more than 3 ozs of Protein in at a time, so I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to eat solid food if I tried. Does anyone notice their hunger lessen the Protein they get in? Also, SAVORY Soup RECOMMENDATIONS!! Everything Is sweet!!! I want something savory!! Help!!

johnsydney 65 Posted August 16, 2014 Hi guys, I had my surgery on Tuesday, so today is day four after surgery, my doc has said to start puréed diet already but I'm actually feeling quite satisfied with the liquid / Protein shake diet so I'm going to stick with it for at least a full week then introduce a puréed Soup once a day for a couple of weeks and see how I go. I've lost 9lb already ! I went to a restaurant with my partner yesterday and sat and watched him eat a full meal, have a dessert and a big frothy sweet coffee. I had a glass of Water, cup of tea with skim milk and sweetener and not for one moment felt like eating. I also went through a Macdonalds drive through today and picked up a large Big Mac meal with coke for a friend and found the smell in the car horrible, again, I didn't have any desire to eat ! I hope this lasts !!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
