Tried my first go at the purée on Friday, now I'm past the 2 week liquid diet ,and had the worst night if my life! Had such terrible heart burn and cramps and couldn't sleep one wink! All I has was puréed chicken and red kidneys beans... I'm back on liquids coz I'm scared to get a repeat experience.... Does anyone know if I was meant to start on puréed veggies first then work my way up to meat? ?

. My understanding is meat is one of the last things to add. If you google diets or instructions post op for sleeve, there is a ton of info. Good luck. My surgery is in a couple weeks and my surgeons office gave me diet info. I don't have to go all liquid even in the first two weeks. (Nothing beyond consistency of mashed potatoes) but limited items. I think any change is gonna hurt a bit; but I was told to have Prilosec or the generic equivalent called in by doctor on hand.

Thanks. I got a pamphlet as well but not sure it listed specific foods to start with. I may have to dig it out and have another read:)

I skipped purée. I stayed on liquids during purée stage. My Dr OK'd it. I couldn't visually handle puréed food. The thought grossed me out. So liquids longer than to soft foods

That sounds like my first two week diet. But I have scrambled eggs (with cheese melted if wanted,) too. Creamy Soups, mashed potatoes, etc - actual they said if you can mush it up to mash potato consistency, you can have it; ie peas, etc. Mine doesn't call for all liquids.

Oh I forgot scrambled eggs.

My dr said if you can purée it you can have it. I seriously can't stand the thought of puréed meat so I don't do that.

I got a can of crab meat and added it to cream of shrimp Soup with extra garlic and some chicken broth. It was really good.

Today makes 3 weeks since I've been sleeved and I'm on puréed foods too...my binder from my surgery center says I'm allowed to have shaved deli meats and I've had 3 ounces or so throughout the day and it's been tolerated really well!

Mine doesn't mention shaved deli meats so that is good to know. I will try those as well. Thanks:) my binder is very general and just says try have Protein with each meal and lists a few random things to try.... Best info I seem to get is when I go and see my dietician

Oh thanks for that. I will use that as my guide also. Got my post surgery appointment on Thursday so I will also ask if they have a detailed listing like that coz it would definitely be very helpful.... Or I will have to keep asking you for pics of the stages you are on... :)

Brittnielynn, I was sleeved by Dr Avara on 4/9. How did you do with your liquids in the beginning? I finally got in one whole shake yesterday but still can't get in my Water.< /p>

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
