I was the 5th too.....sorry ladies- had my first egg today! Only could take like 5 bites and was full! Good luck and I hope you guys get your eggs soon!

I took chicken breast boiled them then took some and blended it with different sauces. Tried salsa, pesto, smoked bacon ranch, etc! Tried picking sauces with 2 or less sugar. Froze them in 1/2 cup Tupperware. Also haven't tried it yet- but gonna take spaghetti sauce and ricotta cheese....heat up some sauce and pour it over a scoop of cold ricotta. They say it taste yummy! Also made the inside of crab Rangoon too and froze some. Also goggle bariatric puréed food- it gives some good recipes. Hope this helps!

I boiled chicken added different things like one batch with salsa, or pesto or blooming onion sauce......puréed each batch and froze them in 1/2 cup Tupperware....the pesto one I can't eat a lot of - maybe 1oz. The salsa one I could handle a little more. I also tried mash potatoes they went down better could eat about 3 oz's but it gave me a hot flash and headache...I tried grits w/butter and a scrambled egg this morning- could only take about 5 bites of each but it went down great.....no prob! With the introduction of puréed I find it harder to get all my protein and water in!

Just tried mashed potatoes and they went down fine but got hot flashes afterwards....the puréed chicken I tried was ok...but couldn't eat but a few bites!

I start. Tomorrow tried a little egg salad tonight and everything was good... I have about 17 recipes to Try. Most are chicken with different sauces I found a whole bunch of different sauces with zero sugar. And low-calorie! But with the new recipes I see on this thread I'm going to try a couple! I cannot wait to actually eat semisolid food. And when it comes to non puréed foods there is a lot of yummy recipes that are out there. I googled puréed food or bariatric pureed Foods and got a ton Of cool recipes. Truth is I don't even like to cook and now I'm excited about cooking!

What phase are you on?.....could mean you're maintaining your muscle and losing fat....or gaining muscle and losing fat.....sounds lucky! I feel like I'm at a stand still two weeks out of surgery....I wake up in the middle of the nite starving! I start puréed on fri....hoping all that changes and i start losing weight and or inches....best of luck to u!

Where are you planning on having it done? Who's your surgeon? And don't give up you do it!!

11th day post op.....down 13.6 happy but today bad emotional day! Feeling great but every time I look at the tv there's a commercial on food! I tell myself all I want is one bite! I know I'm gonna stick to this- full liquids looking forward to puréed starting fri! Just gotta get to fri! And I know it's just one bad day.....sleep time tomorrow is another day! Gotta make it a good one! Ok enough of my pity party----- best of luck to those getting sleeved tomorrow ! Your new journey begins! Those getting close- hang tough your time is coming! "Skinny is the new US!!"

That's what making me sick.....I even went and bought chewable at GNC and they make me sick! I'm looking now for a sublingual multi vitamin! Anyone know of any? Vita shoppe and GNC don't care them! Any suggestions will help! Ty's!

Sorry it's acai berry not grape!

Lol....omg I know- I stupidly bought the six box watermelon and extra....along with the grape! Anyone want to try it- send me you address I'll mail you one FREE of charge! I have to admit they do have a funky "ass" taste but again if you to try message me your address!

Ok just discovered this: it's YUMMY! On my post full liquid days- couldn't figure what to do with my opened bottle of juice from my clear days so I added....milk and Protein powder! 2/3 silk vanilla lite soy milk 1/3 diet ocean spray blueberry juice 1 scoop EAS vanilla Protein powder Makes about 16oz which gives you about 35 grams of protien! I make it and put it in the frig....drink about 2 - 4 oz's every hrs or when I feel a little hungry!

One week post op appt....down 13.6 lbs....was hoping for 7lbs but what a surprise!! He told me all is well and to go buy a digital scale- weigh everyday! I looked at him like he was crazy! Everyday?? He stated its more important later on because you always need to know your weight....it is easier to lose 2-3 lbs then 10.... Logically he is right! So scale bought and weigh in begins. Hope everyone is going great!

Omg congrats to u.... I want to be u too! Lucky!

You can also instead of using chunks of potato use instant mashed potatoes and then I'll make it more creamier and thinner!

I guess I was lucky I never took any pain meds. I would say take the meds if you have pain but if you don't have pain or it's just a tolerable discomfort don't take anything. Best of luck!

Sleeved June 5 first day of driving today that's all normal but walking around the store just felt odd. Don't know if it's because I felt like I wanted to eat everything I saw at the grocery store and couldn't or just felt weak! Lol I feel like I'm drinking something every second of the day and that's driving me crazy. I did try some cream sweet potato soup today it was yummy. Ran several errands a lot less than I normally do. Feeling pretty good, But if I take one itty bitty bite or sip more than I should my stomach has a really funky feeling! It's all a learning game and getting in the habit of Doing it right!

Don't flounder.....just keep swimming! Hang in there. I'm in Miami but you can always message me if u need to talk! This is site is great- so your never really alone!

Anyone having problems drinking enough liquids? I feel like I drink every second I'm awake. The hard part trying to figure out how much I actually was drinking. I made a cheat sheet (mostly so I could figure out if I had to drink more). I numbered my liquid intake and Protein grams....calculating the number of ounces of liquid, with the number grams of protein. Mind you I'm not great at math- but I think I did it or real close! Drinking all these liquids makes me feel like I'm bloated and getting ready to float away! Anyone else feel this way? This is just day one of full liquids-I'm hoping it get easier. But tomorrow I'm finally allowed to drive and have a ton of errands to run!! I have a feeling it might be harder to get everything in....any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

I had my sleeve done on June 5 and I just started full liquids today. You're on puréed Already? I don't get to the puréed stage until June 21. And can't eat regular food till July 4. I'm still having a problem getting in all my Liquids and proteins. I feel like I drink something every second of the day. And I'm top of that I feel like I'm not losing any weight. Good luck I hope everything works out for you And you feel better soon.

Hi everyone was sleeved June 5, 2013 just started my full liquid and so far so good. There are a few times when I thought what the heck was I doing but getting better each day! Walked half a mile today outside... Can't wait to drive so I can go walk the mall! Best of luck to everyone who hasn't been sleeved yet and best of luck to everyone who has been sleeved! Each day gets better and better!

I just started full liquids today jumped right into it and I have to say no problem with lean body chocolate Protein shake! The hard part is sipping it and calculating how many protein grams per ounces... I made up a sheet that has numbers on it stating one through 70 for protein and one through 70 for liquid intake and I mark off every ounce or every gram of protein i take each today to keep track of those amounts

Hoping tonite is better. Did some light cleaning and that made feel better. Thursday I see the doctor and Tuesday I Finally get to drive! Tomorrow is the introduction to full liquids- can't wait!
