Mr-Smith got a reaction from SmilinNC in one week post op in need of nutrition advice
Once i was cleared for full liquids, I would take Amy's organic Soups, blend them in the ninja, thin with milk or Water, strain, heat and add unflavored protien to the mix. Don't overheat, the protien doesn't like that.
I then dropped the thinning, then eventually the straining, then moved on to softer foods and puree.
This created wonderful variety and flavor to what could be a very bland diet at the start.

Mr-Smith got a reaction from pattylo in Restaurants and gastric sleeve card
I was given the card, never used it. Our resturant habits changed a lot once I was sleeved. We tend to eat "family style" now and only order what we think we will eat as a family, not on an individual basis. I have two young kids and my wife and all of us can easily eat from two dinner plates. Depending on the resturant, we can get a way with one appitizer plate and a dinner.< /p>
We never go to buffet's anymore, overpriced, crappy canned/mass produced food warmed up in a microwave.

Mr-Smith got a reaction from hepktty in Help with Starbucks?!
I order a tall veranda blend with room for cream, put skim in it and two splenda and I'm good to go.
Something about asking for a tall blonde with room for cream is very satisfying... Just saying.

Mr-Smith got a reaction from Soon2BMiniMommy in Pizza.... Is No Joke!
pizza is not the issue, advancing your diet too fast is.

Mr-Smith got a reaction from marna in On my way to a stingray Liver
Hey Skinny, The way my doctor does it is he has you come in for a pre-op either 2 weeks (diabetic) or 1 week (everyone else) before your surgery. At the pre-op, they go over the diet and send you home with everything you are allowed to eat so there is no guess work.. It's about 650 to 800 cals a day and totally no carb. Outside of provided diet, I can have sugar-free Jello, sugar-free Popsicle and various sugar free drinks like crystal light.
Four meals a day are an 8oz shake or bowl of broth. I can have one NutriMed bar a day as well.
The second day was the worse for me, once your body hits ketosis, it's a lot easier. I felt hungry and craved food but the headache and sluggishness have subsided.
