Sleeved April 27 and on Pureed foods, who is with me



Recommended Posts

I found the smoother the better for foods. Tried ground up chicken salad, felt like a lead balloon. Mashed potatoes were not good either (I just had to try them). What is working is Greek yogurt, mashed Beans. I am going to try cream of wheat tomorrow and cottage cheese tomorrow.

I had my sleeve done April 29th and I can't wait for puréed foods! I am so sick of drinking my food. I had to follow a liquid diet for a month and then the last two weeks! I need to chew!

Sleeved on the 21st and on Puree for another week. I like cottage cheese, added SF pistachio pudding to my vanilla shake and enjoyed it, made an acorn squash puree (roasted acorn squash, a little unsweetened almond milk and Truvia brown sugar blend) I was going to try a pureed mushroom Soup and my favorite is grits. My Nut asked me what I mix with them and I said I used to use butter- although she said light butter will be okay I also tried melting in a light laughing cow wedge which was tasty but made it heavier.

Sleeved the 29th of April. I just pureed a 1/3 cup of wendys chili, boy did that hit the spot! I added a couple of saltines too. I feel full and fullfilled :)

I was sleeved on April 29th. I am on purée for 3 more weeks. I've pretty much been living on plain greek yogurt with a tsp of sf Syrup mixed in, cottage cheese and shakes. Yesterday I tried part skim ricotta mixed with a little Tomato sauce. On Monday I made some chicken salad and puréed it....then I was in horrible pain after eating it. Lesson learned! Good news today from my post op appointment. I have lost 17lbs since my surgery date.

I was sleeved on the 27th too! I am still on the puréed stage until week 5. I've been living off homemade refried Beans and yogurt. I can't wait to move onto soft foods!

I'm down 28 lbs so far.

      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.
