  1. My nut says to eat every 2 hours or so and to eat protein first then veg then if room left have a carb. I eat a lot of chili and refried beans as I am only 3 weeks out. It was explained to me that the protein will sit like an anchor in your tummy and assist in slowing down the process and keep u fuller longer. 5 or 6 small meals per day is what she recommended. I do 2 shakes and 3 small meals and sometimes a string cheese or piece of lunch meat. Hope that helps!
  2. I had one repaired and had no additional requirements. I felt so good at my one week follow up I was able to move to pureed food early. Good luck

    Introducing myself

    Hi there...I was sleeved on 8/15 and have had no problem with pureed. Although I sorta avoided pureed meets. My favorite has been super fine ground beef with taco seasoning over refried beans with sour cream and salsa! I also enjoy roasted red pepper and tomato soup. I add Bipro unflavored protein to most everything I eat! Good luck, Steph
  4. Ok...strange post with a strange ? Is it possible my surgery just didn't work? I had VSG on the 15th and have felt great other than a little gas in the beginning. Now I can eat, drink and have no problem with sugar at all. I can drink 4 oz at a time no problem. I had about 3/4 can of chili for dinner followed by a handful of m&m's. I am just so worried after all of this I won't end up loosing weight.
  5. I second that! 50 lbs is AMAZING!
  6. Thank u. That really helps because I'm sitting here thinking what is wrong with me? And worried I have blown it already.
  7. I appreciate the responses. I guess I should ask for exact portion sizes allowed. Everything I have says listen to your stomach and stop before too full etc... so I know the m&ms sound horrible and I shouldn't have had any. I am still fighting old habits of night snacking and bored eating etc... thanks for hearing me out.
  8. Yes I was full after dinner. It's strange about sugar cause my dr said eat and drink milkshakes if I new wanted to because at this point we r taking in so few calories. So for instance I only ate 1 egg foe breakfast and was full but I tjink I just freaked out a bit that my "new" stomach could hold that much chili and that I can drink so much at one time. I hear people say they can't take a tablespoon of anything and at first I thought I was lucky to feel so good and be abke to eat and drink. Then I started to stress out that what if my appetite goes right back to normal. Thanks for even having tjis conversation with me. I am probably just stressing for nothing
  9. Oops...I'm on pureed food and I just sucked on a few. I am just worried I can eat and drink so much
