What was the first thing you ate once you were cleared for the pureed stage? Any recipes or suggestions for future stages? What was/is your fave thing to eat?

Wish I could help but the pureed stage was the most difficult for me. I am a visual eater and just couldn't bring myself to puree meat and then eat it. I ate mashed potatoes, applesauce, ricotta bake, yogurt and drank my Protein shakes.

So far I've done 2 tablespoons of yogert. That was my first try. Latter I had 2 oz of tuna. Went down pretty smooth

Sounds like some of you are at the beginning stage like me. I am 7 days post op. I don't really post on here, I like reading the posts from others. It does help. Anyway, my question is about early stages of weight loss. I think I've only lost maybe 5 lbs. guess it just seems like I should've lost more after not eating for a week. Can someone share their experiences with me or tell me that I shouldn't be worried about it right now OR am I doing something wrong? Think my nerves are getting the best of me. Thank you for anyone that can help me.

I'm also looking forward to hearing your responses about puréed food. I'm. It going to be one that can purée just anything! That just sounds awful so I hope some others can help out with things that worked for them at this stage that will be coming up for me soon.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Your body will let go of it. Some just loose at a slower pace. I'm 15 days post op and have lost 10 pounds. I'm not really worried because I know I'm doing everything right ...Getting in my Protein, Water, Vitamins and walking an hour a day. Good luck! You are doing fine.

My first food in that stage was a scrambled egg. Low fat Greek yogurt went well too and still does (I'm early in the "soft diet" phase-- my RNY was 1/16). Puréed cauliflower it just a tiny bit after Protein. Really super duper mashed canned salmon with a bit of low fat mayo.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
