For thanksgiving... Enjoy your friends and family. They will inhale a plate of food in 20 minutes while we can take our time with ours and enjoy it just as much ! And we don't have to make ourselves sick. Maybe focus on decorating for Christmas, or watch football, or just talking about something different.

We got this !!

Today was my first day of pureed foods. I had Taco Bell Pintos n cheese and it was awesome eating food. Tonight I had some light yogurt. I didn't get all my Protein in because I ate the small amount of food instead of my Protein shakes. I'll have to figure that out. So far, so good on my new tummy. Tomorrow morning, scrambled eggs. :)

@@KarenF1972 If it persist , then you might want to talk to your doctor. Otherwise maybe just chalk it up to natural healing. We did just put our bodies through a lot.

Chelle, I totally agree :-)

Susan, welcome to soft and puree :-)

Karen, my doc said I might get a sharp pain in that incision area from time to time due to deep layers of repair. But do call your doc if you are worried. We paid them well :-)

​So my Dr told me to do the transition this week and do full liquids in the morning and purees in the evening. Now I would follow it to a T, if it wasn't for the fact Protein shakes are making me very very sick.

So I'm sitting here .. for some unknown reason.. scared to go cook me an egg lol

Such a weird feeling LOL

Chellede, if it makes you feel any better, I can go right to "soft foods", including eggs on Thursday! I would go for it, if I were you, especially since the Protein Drinks are making you sick! Just an FYI though, eggs make a lot of sleeved people sick. My mom still can't eat eggs almost two years later!

cook that scrambled egg woman :-) just eat it slowly, I was only able to eat about 3/4 of an egg the first two times but tuna was much easier. Enjoy!

Hey all! It's been 7 days since my surgery (if you count surgery day as day one) and I'm doing great! I'm down 5.6 lbs since my surgery and am super happy with that! I'm honestly surprised how good I feel at this point. I have no pain to speak of and I have no problem getting my Protein in every day.

Tomorrow I get to start on full liquids and I'm excited to have yogurt! I'm getting sick of sweet but have been adding protein to my broths. The shakes aren't bad at this point but I'm looking forward to not having to drink them anymore.

Has anyone tried Kefir? If so, what kind did you buy and what did you mix it with? Or did you just drink it plain?

Kim, that's exactly what I did. A scrambled egg, tiny amount of cheese, touch of ketchup, and touch of pepper.

Trvlgrl, I tried kefir prior to surgery and it was just a liquid greek yogurt. It was ok. I had strawberry. It can be high in calories.

      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.
