Hey! Thanks for responding. And congrats, 92 lbs is AMAZING!! I try to eat enough chicken but I don't eat as often as I did before surgery. Fish is my go to source. My doctor told me to stay away from Atkins Protein Bars but that was in the beginning. I haven't had any kind of cereal since surgery but I am willing to try it except my stomach screams at the thought of dairy products. My doc says I may have developed an intolerance. I eat cheese because of the protein but I may also pay for it later. (It doesn't always happen which is weird.) I haven't tried beef but I wanted to try it because the high amounts of protein it has. I can tolerate pasta but no rice and bread is iffy sometimes. I mainly eat tuna fish with crackers. I drink mainly Water and flavored coconut waters (which contain sugar but not enough to make me crave it.) I will double check with my doc about Atkins bars because the thought of a Protein shake me queasy! Hahaha! Thanks again for responding and congrats keep up the amazing work.

Thanks so much!!!! I will look into that website thank you. I've found a few things on Pinterest but I want to see what else is out there. The 23rd will be here in no time at all. I am sure you will do awesome. Good luck with everything!!

Hey there everyone!! I am almost 3 months post op. I will be 3 months on the 23rd (sleeved 9/23/13) I have lost a total of 66lbs so far. I was just wondering what are most of you guys eating at this stage.?I know most people are still doing soft foods but I feel like I eat the same thing everyday. I just wanted to switch it up a little. What are/were your favorite food to eat at this stage? Feel free to leave recipes. Thanks all. I hope you all are filled with holiday cheer!!

Hey everyone I hope Friday has been awesome. I am three weeks out and having a terrible time with protein. Protein shakes my stomach so bad as well as the liquid whey drinks. I can't handle them. I had a few sips of a protein shake at 7 this morn and my stomach still kills. I talked to doc and he says eggs, cheese and yogurt. I said all this just to ask how does everyone cook there eggs? Did you have to purée them? I have never been a huge fan of eggs but I am willing to try anything at this point. Thanks in advance! I hope you all have an awesome weekend!

He did however give me the side hahaha. He says I am doing good and that I have nothing to worry about. Sent from my iPhone using VST

So I might throw a lot into this forum. Srry. But here we go, I was sleeved September 23rd (5 days post op.) I have this problem where I am never hungry which I know is normal BUT I feel like my stomach is always growling and making weird noises. Whenever I do drink liquids I get this uncomfortable feeling of gas and pressure that goes away after a few seconds. I know I am not getting the amount of protein or liquids I need. I know a few people who have had this surgery they tell don't drink anything if you're not hungry. But I know I need to drink something. I just want to know does anyone else or has anyone else experienced this, and what are some tips? I am just nervous that I am doing something wrong. Thanks!!

My surgery is September 23rd. I am very anxious which I partly why my blood pressure is high. I am very excited to begin this journey. I also start my pre-op diet on Monday the 10th.
