Hi Misty, i had my revision from the band to the sleeve on the 23rd. Please feel free to PM me anytime. I just started my pureed foods yesterday and hoping to get back to the gym next week to at least walk & back to routine by the end of February. :)

I've moved up to the puréed stage today 10 days out ... currently looking for all types of recipes ... had an egg salad today which consists of one hard boiled egg and lite mayo (seasoned to my liking) and I thought I loved egg salad... well after surgery eggs are horrible i couldn't even get 3 bites in before I was full

I had my sleeve surgery Jan 17. I'm eating puréed food now, but i can eat way more that it seems other people on the forums are eating. Kinda concerns me. I have 1/2 cup (4 oz) containers and i can easily eat that much without feeling much restriction. Seems like everyone else eats 2 bites and is full. What's up with that?

I think everyone is different. I was never on just puree'd food. About 3 days after I got home it was roasted chicken, or pot roast, in broth.

I started around 3oz and now I'm up to four. No REAL solid food, but soft seems to work for now. Down 20 lbs since surgery on 1-23-17.

I had mine 1/11 I am on soft food now. chicken with gravy fish etc. same thing happens to Me. I tried to ear chicken with sweet potato but didn't follow the rules and my stomach killed. Protein first then move to veggie or starch. It's a new lifestyle and I have to get used to it. I admit I still get head hungry and I get sad when I can't eat pizza with the rest of my family. But I remember that that food my body doesn't need. I'm losing weight I'm getting as much liquids and Protein in that I can but I know that my body is still healing and that I am told over time it will get a lot easier. Be patient

When I'm able, I found this recipe for pizza with cauliflower crust. It actually didn't look too bad. I figured it couldn't hurt to try!

@@Misty Barnhart I've been having that same problem with feeling like I have to burp but nothing comes out. Then I have a pain in my chest that makes me afraid to take another drink. I guess I'm taking in too much air as I'm swallowing so I have been trying to alter how I drink/swallow but still having difficulties.

I've used it for awhile and never paid for the premium. You can still track all the food you eat and exercise so I didn't see the point.

I think the bubbles are kinda funny. I am now a week post op and I feel really good. I was hoping for the weird taste/smell issue, but so far I am doing well. Makes me wonder if I will lose much weight.

I have started tracking on My Fitness Pal, just to get into the habit of doing it. Has anybody paid for premium MFP? I'm not sure it's worth an extra $12 monthly. My biggest issue now is my head hunger. I am looking to get into some kind of therapy that wont break the bank, because I can tell now, I have a real problem that needs to be sorted out during this honey moon phase. :huh:

I never used the premium. I did however find specialized therapy very helpful. I spent 8 mos in an Intensive Outpatient Program for eating disorders that included supported eating and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. These two were extremely helpful, and I intend to return for a few months to learn to deal with head hunger post surgery.

I made a cauliflower crust pizza about 3 months ago and it was quite tasty. It held together well enough to bring to work the next day for lunch too.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
