Sharon1964 2,530 Posted December 8, 2015 On August 8 I had sleeve surgery. That's four months ago today. I went into this with no expectations; I was pretty much convinced it wouldn't work. Then the weight began to fall off. As I passed 90 pounds gone, and got closer to 4 months, I thought, wouldn't it be awesome if I lose 100 pounds by four months???? Did my body cooperate??? Nooooooooooo. I'm at 98 pounds down. The biatch is hanging onto those two pounds for dear life. STOMP RANT FUSS STOMP RANT FUSS!!!!! STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP STOMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Before: 4 months and 98 pounds down: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A New KK 104 Posted December 8, 2015 Congratulations; you look great. I am green with envy. Would you mind sharing what you ate on a typical day during pureed foods. I'm having problems with slow weight loss and Water retention. Maybe a switch up might help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sharon1964 2,530 Posted December 8, 2015 Congratulations; you look great. I am green with envy. Would you mind sharing what you ate on a typical day during pureed foods. I'm having problems with slow weight loss and Water retention. Maybe a switch up might help. I started off a lot heavier than you, which means I lose faster than you (generally speaking, there are always exceptions). Three meals a day, no Snacks. Each meal is 1/3 cup (measure unless it's something like an egg, then it's one egg). No Protein drinks (this is how my surgeon rolls). He doesn't worry about Protein until you're eating regular food. 90 ounces of beverages per day (usually crystal light). sugar free popsicles (I like the tropical flavors) also counts as liquid. Pureed... no-sugar-added applesauce, greek yogurt (about half a container), mashed potatoes, hummus (eat with a spoon), half an avocado (mash it in the shell, add a dab of mayo, salt and pepper, and mix it up). I think at that stage I could have scrambled eggs (well, one egg). Wedges of laughing cow cheese. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A New KK 104 Posted December 8, 2015 Thanks for the reply. My surgeon will not allow fruit of any kind except sugar free jam. Having a hard time with eggs. Ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, refried Beans with a little light sour cream and slice deli turkey breast go down the best. Just finally able to get 60 grams per day and getting to 64 ounces Water or crystal light. I am going to ask about the avocado. I saw a recipe where someone cooked an egg in a half avocado and ate it with some salt, pepper and a little tabasco. Looked good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
