agent_pantango reacted to cherbear33 in Pureed food ideas?
I made a chicken quesadilla kinda while I was on the pureed stage... I pureed some chicken breast with a little fat free sour cream & a little bit of salsa added in to it & low fat shredded cheese. Puree all ingredients together. It tasted just like a quesadilla minus the tortilla!!! I could only eat a few bites of it but it was good & satisfying!

agent_pantango got a reaction from BigGirlPanties in Time off after Sleeve
Well, I didn't know how long I was supposed to take off, but I had my surgery 2/6/14 and I've been back at work since Monday the 10th. I am self employed so I don't get sick time etc. I'm not gonna lie, two days after the surgery I was like no way. However, I think I am feeling better because I am not sitting in bed. I am at my office and meeting with clients and walking around. I am tired and ready for bed about 8:00pm, but no more than before. The only difficult part so far is making sure I remember to eat and drink properly to keep myself from getting an upset stomach.The first two days were difficult because I hadn't figured out when to eat or drink to keep my tummy from being upset. It seems like if I wait t0o long to eat, I feel nauseated instead of the normal growling tummy. Anyone else get that? I hope that doesn't last.

agent_pantango reacted to gohelpyourself in Oddly emotional post op?
I can only share my experience but day after surgery was the worst! I was like how in the hell am I supposed to go home tomorrow.... and low and behold.... I felt better. Each day I have felt better. Today I had my post op follow up visit. I am doing so well with tolerating foods... what I thought was 'full liquids' was really more like pureed (oops) so the P.A said I can advance to soft diet. I came home made one scrambled egg and two little french toast sticks because I felt I deserved it!! Tolerated it superbly! I had a few table spoons of Soup for lunch and Protein shake for dinner. scale isn't moving but I feel still pretty swollen from surgery. I am going to wait for one month post op to weigh myself again (March 3rd) b/c I am getting too obsessed with the scale. The P.A. also said the stomach spasms subside in time (thank God). Feel better.
