I am so excited I was able to eat scrambled eggs with minced up mushrooms and onions that I sautéed to almost mush. I am 2 weeks post op so this was my first food outside the refried Beans and it tasted soooo good!!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Today was my first day of purred foods! I had a scrambled egg w a little cheese for Breakfast and Some puréed turkey w gravy and a dab of mashed potatoes for dinner. Such a nice change from liquids!!!!

Question how much till you are full? Typical day i can eat 2 cans if the small hot dog chili and 2 coffee cups of broth woth small mushy noodles and sometimes jalf a can if refried Beans. I feel like that i should be getting full on much less. Tonight i had 2 or 3 eggs scrambled? That actually filled me up. Feel like im doing it wrong

I'm a week and a half out and onto pureed foods now. I also had some scrambled eggs for breakfast and I almost felt like I was doing something wrong or cheating. But oh my goodness, they were soooooo good. It's been a long time since I've had anything solid to eat and I'm not real sure how to go about doing all this pureed stuff. For Thanksgiving dinner I put a spoonful of mashed potatoes, one of sweet potatoes and some turkey in the blender and added some broth. Interesting. I'm determined to get my Protein in without relying on shakes. My taste buds changed so much after surgery...I can't stand the sweet drinks anymore.

What kinds of things have other people come up with to get their Protein down in the pureed stage without relying on the shakes? I would love to know.

Have you played with your shakes? I add sf instant pudding to mine to change the flavors and blrnd them with ice for a treat. I had scoop of my Protein to my oatmeal also. pureed tuna fish is pretty good too but i dont use mayo i use spicy mustards.

Your nerves have been cut along with swelling in your remaining sleeve. I'm sure your full signal is not being felt yet for those reasons. Make sure you're still measuring out portions instead of trying to eat until you're full. It's just a good habit to get into, and you really should only eat until satisfied, not full. It does take a little practice to get used to not stuffing ourselves.

Remember, just because you can, doesn't mean you should
