Hiya, @@sleeved.tekee! I was sleeved on 12/21/16.

My question is what are some things you may have tried at this point?

I am also on the pureed/soft foods part of healing. I've had skim ricotta (my favorite), Greek yogurt, strained Soups from Panera, hummus, pudding, popsicles, tuna with mayo.< /span>

How did u cook it?

The only thing I've really cooked was Eggface's Ricotta Bake - I wasn't a fan, personally. However, I add unflavored Protein powder to everything to ensure that I am meeting my Protein goals.

How did ur stomach handle it?

I've not yet been nauseous, vomited, or overeaten. I measure everything and run my phone's stopwatch during meals. One minute between bites, I chew as much as I can stand to, for a max of 15-20 minutes of mealtime.

This way I know my caloric intake and macros for the day. No guesswork.

At soft foods I ate chicken salad, tuna salad, scrambled egg with cheese, ground beef (use different seasonings to change it up), soft shredded chicken ( inside of a chicken enchilada), toppings off nachos with refried Beans, ground beef and cheese. There is a lot of variety and you are at the gateway to solid foods. At 6.5 mths out, I have not had any food that hasn't agreed with me. Go slow with tiny bites.

I ate a lot of fish during the soft phase, especially Swai and Cod. Baked them with a little lemon juice and olive oil. Easy to swallow and a lot of Protein. I also stuck pretty much with greek yogurt, cottage cheese, scrambled eggs w/cheese.

I had my surgery 11/28 when can we eat salad ! So fuzzy on why I can't try it yet

When does your plan say you can have raw veggies? It takes a lot more work for the stomach to digest salad, therefore the delay. Once you do get to have it, there much room if any, after you eat your Protein . I only have salad now if it is a meal like taco salad or chef salad, but dont actually eat much of the salad.

      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.
