I've been having refried Beans, cottage cheese, Eggface's ricotta bake (yum yum), scrambled egg (be careful, it doesn't sit well with everyone), greek yogurt, thinned cream of wheat, and sometimes the creamed Soups from full liquid. Happy eating!

Part of the Eggface blog, a very good resource! This page is all about the puree stage, including the ricotta bake recipe.

Every bite you put in your mouth right now should always have protien in it. Protien is your goal right now. My plan does not allow any form of veggies until 3 months out. Cottage cheese, Greek Yogurt, soft cheeses. Beans, scrambled eggs. The ricotta bake is to die for. Love it. So easy to make.

I'm 3 weeks post sleeve also! Is any one besides me not having a bowel movement everyday? I know we are not eating Fiber or carbs so I wonder if it's normal not to have a BM every day?

I make seven days today and am still on clear liquids. I can add Protein Drinks starting tomorrow with the clear liquids. I'm taking in nothing but liquid with Protein in it. It will be week three before I go to soft foods. I think my problem is my husband still has to eat. So smelling regular food when everything I drink is the same flavor is hard. I was on liquids a week to prepare for surgery. I almost can't make mysel swallow it anymore. I just pray I can go one more week. I cryed today Cottage cheese will taste like steak to me. I just think I'm having that depressing time that some people talk about. Thanks for the info.

You can have benefiber to help yourself. I take 6 tablespoons a day to stay regular.

Pardon the pun, but that's a sh!tload of Benefiber! The recommended dose is 2 teaspoons up to 3 times a day (total 2 tablespoons).

Yes, I agree but when I first started taking it I mis read and did 2 tablespoons then when I realized what I was doing I went to the correct dose and it didn't work. The 3 tbls keeps me regular I go once a day. 3 teas was not working. I wouldn't say for everyone to do that. I wouldn't want people to get diarrhea!

Its crazy how everyones doctors have different diets for them preop and postop. From day 3, i can have pudding, cottage cheese, ricotta, custard, all liquids, and broths, yogurts.

Do you guys add anything to a few of those? Like mild sauce for Beans? Sugar/Brown Sugar/Stevia for Cream of Wheat?

      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.
