I'm from Reno! I had surgery on Sept 19th by Dr. Kozar! How about you?

I'm on soft, I did full liquids for 3 weeks.

Good ideas also! Thanks!!

I'm trying to be prepared incase we don't have the smaller plate options..

What about stuffed mushrooms? There's breadcrumbs, but that shouldn't be similar to eating plain bread right?

Ok thanks! Definitely don't want to cause problems

Thanks! I know I should avoid pasta, but is it because of the carb thing or is it not safe for the sleeve? Just wondering about that part, I'm a huge pasta girl and I was thinking about whole wheat noodles??

Ok I'm taking my kids to Olive Garden tonight to celebrate good grades. I'm 3 weeks post op and am doing soft foods, any suggestions on what I can get besides soup? After 3 weeks of full liquid, I'm souped out!! Thanks

I don't want to inhale my food, I'm just tired of pretty much liquefying it before swallowing. That's what I was meaning

How long after surgery do I have to chew like crazy? Will I have to do this forever or is there a time when I can start eating like I used to do, but take smaller bites of course? It's already getting old pulverizing my food haha

I will also be 3 weeks out tomorrow! I'm supposed to start my puréed tomorrow, but I have no desire to do so! I plan on doing soft but to the point I can purée it with my teeth! I've been on full liquids for 3 weeks and I want to chew!!

Am supposed to start my puréed diet tomorrow, I will be 3 week post op tomorrow. Will it hurt anything if I start today? A day early? I want a scrambled egg sooooo bad!

I would do powerade zero.

Will it hurt anything if I drink too fast? Or to much at once? I'm not having any pain with drinking and I'm just wondering if I can start drinking somewhat normal again?

Hi everyone I am 9 days post op and on a full liquid diet for 2 more weeks. I have a question, I made top raumen today just to get a different taste of soup, I put it in my nutri bullet and it was almost completely blended. It was plenty thin as I was able to pour it right off my spoon, but when I took a bite there were tiny pieces of noodles still so I chewed them up like crazy before i swallowed. Do you think there's a chance I could have messed anything up by still swallowing the tiny noodles? I only had 2 tbsp. thanks

. I'm on day 5 right now. My doc says I can have oatmeal but it has to be blended and thinned.

I put my pack of instant oatmeal in my nutri bullet before I mix it with the milk until it's ground to a powder and it works greatfor me!

Today is surgery day for me also!

I am having surgery this Thursday the 19th in Reno Dr. Kozar is doing mine. I'm so excited and scared all at the same time!!

I am scheduled for Sept. 24th! I'm sooo nervous and excited all at the same time! I can't wait to see myself transform into something that I can finally be proud of seeing on the mirror or pictures!
