I asked my doctor's nurse over the phone what were some softs to eat and try....

She told me really mashed up fish, chicken blended up, eggs, mash potatoes, and boudin.

Now I used a Louisiana Dr......so that may be why lol.

Anyone tried Boudin at the 3 week mark? just wandering if this would absolutely tear my stomach up or not?

I'm no expert...I have been told Rice is not very sleeve friendly. It expands. Anyone else get this as an instruction? Rice is an ingredient used to make boudin. I started adding carbohydrates after I lost 75% of my weight. I can tolerate brown rice at 9 months out.

At 3 weeks, I was still eating Cream of Mushroom Soup. Frankensleeve was still too tender for spicy or difficult to digest foods. And boudin qualifies as both! :P

If you are going to try boudin, use my tried and true Frankensleeve taste test.

Eat a bite, about 1/2 teaspoon size. Wait 5 minutes

Eat a 2nd bite, about 1/2 teaspoon size. Wait 5 minutes.

If after that time, Frankensleeve had not had a bad reaction, it was safe for me to eat.

Keep on making those small steps in the right direction. Add good habits to your day, and you'll save time, lose inches, and dramatically boost your energy.

Stay Strong and Keep Pushing On.

Louisiana girl here! Saved boudin until month 8 I was scared of the rice swelling. Glad I did wait! not for the swelling but because it's spicy and hard to eat and not drink with it. I suggest waiting awhile.

I'm from Louisiana as well! No boudin for me! The rice is the reason why! For Mardi Gras, no King's Cake either. :( Gumbo minus the rice hurt my stomach and made me sick for days! I guess it was the flour roux. Don't really know. And I'll be 6 months out on April 15. :) good luck to you!

      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.
