Jazmundo 58 Posted February 16, 2015 Yay! I got down 2 Protein Shakes today and half of a hamburger patty! Hopefully that keeps me off the feeding tube!!! Just had to share 2 weeks post op tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikadivalia 30 Posted February 16, 2015 Holy cow! Hamburger already? I'm craving meat....I'm 3 days post op and I'm counting down until my puréed foods.. Probably 2-3 more weeks per my dr. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazmundo 58 Posted February 16, 2015 Surprisingly it went down 0 problems. Probably because I chewed the crap out of it and it's sure Protein. It was just a plain patty. No seasoning and it was grilled so low grease. It was small too but I feel so accomplished. Going from nothing last week to finally being able to tolerate a little bit is amazing. I'm not pushing it. Every Time I eat dairy I get sick so maybe I just need to stay away from it. Maybe applesauce is better for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twopoorfarmers 2 Posted February 16, 2015 I had my sleeve jan 5 I have not found any foods I can't eat. I choose to stay away from sugars. But have eaten fish sausage bacon beef with no problems. But I do chew the heck out of my food and I don't over do the portion size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazmundo 58 Posted February 16, 2015 Yes! I think I'll try lunch meat with a baby bel soft cheese tomorrow. Just like a bite or two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smileyone86 18 Posted February 17, 2015 I must have a very strict dr. I'm not supposed to have beef or pork for 6 months???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSF 264 Posted February 17, 2015 Yes! I think I'll try lunch meat with a baby bel soft cheese tomorrow. Just like a bite or two. I still think you should focus on 4 Protein Shakes a day before you overdue it with food. And maybe some Soup - thick creamy Soups. We were sleeved the same week. I haven't started with meat yet- just soups, Greek yogurt and mashed potatoes w/ chili & cheese Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LSF 264 Posted February 17, 2015 But I'm happy to see you are doing better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suitechicguy 105 Posted February 17, 2015 Glad to hear! Just take your time with things. Go with your gut....well I guess you have to its kind of running the show right now lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazmundo 58 Posted February 17, 2015 My sleeve hates dairy so I'm off most dairy. So no creamed Soups. The baby bell was a no go. I got the okay to go to simple, soft/mushie Proteins like meatballs and lunch meat. It goes down super easy I can only do 2-2.5 proteins shakes a day because the volume is too much. I get all my 60 grams tho. I do a whey Protein shot that has 20 grams. I still struggle with Water but I'm slowly busy surely getting there. Thanks for all the comments and advice! I go in for another test today. Hopefully they tell me I don't need the feeding tube because I'm doing well on steroids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suitechicguy 105 Posted February 18, 2015 You can't absorb collagen Protein as well as whey isolate don't waste your money. Thanks for the info. That must be why I havent heard much about them on here. I'll stick to what I have then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazmundo 58 Posted February 18, 2015 The Protein shots are 42 grams but I only drink half at a time .. It's the best I can do and my surgeon recommended it. I get most of my Protein from Protein shakes anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
