  1. I just warm up the good in the microwave and top it with plain Greek yogurt.
  2. I used two can of refried beans, one cooked chicken breast, a half of a small onion, and a quarter cup of fat free cheese. I am on puréed so after I cooked the chicken I cut the meat in smaller pieces and put it in my food processor with the onions and some hot sauce or you could use salsa. After the chicken was cut up in the processor, I added it to the refried beans and cheese in a sauce pan and warmed all of it up. Once warmed I used my food scale and put 2 ounces of food in each paper cupcake mold and froze overnight. The next morning I put them in a freezer bag. They peel off if the paper easily. I have been topping with plain Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fat free cheese and hot sauce. I think it tastes great and did not take long.
  3. I gained 15 pounds while in the hospital for surgery. It took 9 days to get back to my pre- surgery weight. I have been losing ever since.
  4. I was also told no gummy vitamins. My dr. Is fine with me taking 2 flint stone complete chewable. They taste good. I am taking viactiv calcium with vitamin chocolate soft chews. They also taste good. Hope that helps.
  5. I am taking two and a half weeks off. I probably could have gone back sooner but I can't have any lifting restrictions where I work. So when I go back I will be free from all restrictions. I still nap a little bit each day too. I think my body is healing yet.
  6. I am ten days post op and everything seems to be going well. Does anyone have any good suggestions for having to eat out on puréed or any good puréed recipes.
  7. How far are you in your sleeve journey? I live near Green Bay.
  8. Looking for fellow sleeve buddy in Wisconsin. I am 9 days post-op.
  9. I am a week out and getting 60 grams in a day. I have been drinking the whey protein shakes from Walmart. For me it tastes the best. Carbs are low. It is an isolate whey protein and protein is 30 grams per Shake. I have been mixing it with half water and half skim milk. I also have a glass of skim milk during the day. Milk seems to be the easiest thing to drink. I haven't had my evening shake yet and I am at 58 grams of protein. I had a second glass of skim milk today. Hope that helps.
