Wow!! I can't even eat more than 2oz of anything!! No way I would be able to do 1/2 cup! I'm on week two surgery4/23 and I still can only have Jello loose mashed potatoes jello SF Greek yogurt and cottage cheese! I get a belly ache if I even try to eat a tiny bit more than 2oz.

I don't know if it will help but I had my surgery 4/23... It wasn't a slice of cake but it wasn't too awful... Either way.. I would do it again!!! I'm 40 lbs down already and in a little stall which is normal... I feel so much better already and it's great that I feel like I just ate a turkey dinner after eating 2oz of cottage cheese!! : ) I found Biotin chews at GNC that taste good and I chew them to a pulp a tiny tiny bit at a time and so far I have had no Hair loss problems!! I started them a week before surgery! I have followed my docs orders to a tee! Everything is going great! In the morning I have my Chike ice coffee cause it's full of Protein and tastes good!! The Chike shakes are not bad either. I didn't like any if the other ones. If you have any questions feel free I am two weeks and one day out and feel really great!

Amy,
I love your name ???? that is my daughter's name.
I got my date this morning too. I'm not anxious yet, I know I will be when it gets closer to the date. Right now I'm happy that I finally have the date. I hate not knowing, I like to plan a head. So having a date puts me at ease.
It all be good, we do great, all of us, June girls!

You will do great !!! Walk walk walk walk !!! See you on the other side !! ; )

I was out yesterday and it was lunch time so we stopped at a dinner and I ordered just a side of cottage cheese and the waitress was like .. That's all you want?? I said yes! She brings out the cottage cheese and my friend her sandwich and Soup and it took me just as long to eat my two tablespoons if cottage cheese as she did her soup and sandwich and man I savored every bite!! The waitress came back and I still had mounds if cottage cheese and I asked for a container and she looked so confused!! Hahaha it was so funny!! But I felt like I just ate a turkey dinner in thanksgiving!! It was great!! I love my new tummy!!

Really!! That's good!! I was hoping I wouldn't be stuck with 1/2 cup of food my whole life!! Haha 1 cup sounds more reasonable!! My doc has long term you eat Protein first then veggie then if you can your bread or carb. This makes me feel much better!! Thanks!! : )

I never had a puréed phase? I'm on week two post op diet and I went from liquids to being able to have loose oatmeal/cream of wheat Greek yogurt apple sauce cottage cheese and loose mashed potatoes. I guess that's kinda puréed though?? Hahah my doc has specific foods I can eat at each level. If it's not on the list I can't have it. He musts said that a thousand times!! Ugh! Next Sunday I can have many more things! Looking forward to it but for now I'm happy with not having to have liquids only!! Hah I have my little two oz cups I am measuring everything out with!! This amount seems to be just right!

Ikr...but I'm already making plans for what I will eat when I can lol

My doc was awesome and he has done over 800 vertical sleeves!! So far I have been pain free since I have been home from the hospital. He has been really great at checking up and making sure I was doing ok and getting my Water in. He did a bypass right before he did my sleeve. Doc Baronov out of Saratoga Hospital! He rocks!!

11 days post op and just started on soft foods... It was awesome!! Filled up on 2oz of cottage cheese!! Hecks ya!! No more pain just itchy incision areas. I believe after all the swelling goes down I will be able to eat 4oz of food at a time or 1/2 cup!! Gonna make sure I measure measure measure... Cause I don't wanna over eat and get sick or stretch my new tummy out! The no drinking 30 min before I eat and no drinking 1 hour after I eat still works to keep me feeling full longer!! I think this is gonna be a great change in my life!! So happy I did it! I started at 270 on feb 7th was 250 on operation day an am now 233!! Woot woot!! I know I'm due for a stall but I don't care! My cloths are falling off and I love it!

I have a list of things I can eat and only low sodium broth is in it as far as Soups. My Doc doesn't allow any Soup until the fourth week! : ( I can't complain though because I have lost about 13 lbs in the past 5 days!!

I love Chike and drink it a lot (every day in fact) -- but only use a half serving of the Protein powder and then bump up the flavor with instant coffee granules, Torani sugar free syrups, unsweetened cocoa powder -- stuff like that. Otherwise it is just too high in calories and carbs for my plan.

I have Chike Protein drinks.. Pretty good!! Also they have an ice coffee that has tons of protein that is great!! I have that every morning!! : )

I tried for decades up and down and getting bigger and bigger. Could barely fit on the bike with my husband last year!! Had enough and got sleeved five days ago! Doing awesome and following docs orders to the tee! I have an awesome doc! Checks on me every day! I don't regret a thing!! Yes the first night was difficult because my doc doesn't give heavy narcotics so we don't get constipated... But it was a short time and well worth it! No I couldn't do it on my own. Happy as a clam that I don't feel hungry constantly!!

No offense, but that is what people with eating disorders do. Not a good strategy!

Woohoo. 179.6. I broke into 170s. Next big stop. 5 pounds of 40 gone in a week. Next stop 160. Slept 12 hours last night yeah.
