I was sleeved 8/31. On puréed stage . Enjoy having egg drop Soup which I am allowed as per my dr and nutritionist . If I have soup for lunch I can probably eat 8 0z before I am full . If I eat egg salad or cottage cheese or hummus etc.... I can eat 4/5 oz before I am full . Is it because the soup is liquid and just moves though the sleeve?

I am 7 days postoperative on puréed but allowed to take my pills whole . I put them one at a time whole in yogurt. They slide right down. Call your dr see if u can take them whole Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved 8/31. After literally gagging at the site of broth I somehow got hooked on egg drop Soup. Can't speak to my nutritionist until tomorrow. Does anyone know if this is good or bad . I am on puréed stage Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had my sleeve 8/31. Came home on puréed foods . My surgeon and nut said I should have 3 oz of food 3 times a day with 8oz of Protein shake in between if I can tolerate it. I have no appetite at all . Yesterday I had a meatball I mushed it and it took me over an hour but I did eat it. Needless to say I didn't get the shake in because I was full. I feel like I want to try Peanut Butter it smells good although it has a lot of protein it also has a lot of fat. Did anyone have peanut butter on puréed ?? Is it bad at this stage .

My surgery is 8/31 I am on day 14 of the pre op diet which was 4 shakes a day. For some reason I thought tomorrow was Clear liquids only , but I don't see it in any of my paperwork nor was it mentioned In my pre surgical testing . Did anyone have to do clear liquids 24 hrs prior ?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What are some purée foods . There's no way I will mush food to a purée stage . So what was your fav purée food . I'm on day 5 of liquids . I'm starting to dream about what I will be able to have .. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ smith town Long Island with new your bariatric group. I def found it a lot easier when I was at work. I still have to cook for my family . My husband is sept 7. So he is eating all his favorites now. I'm not hungry just having a hard time focusing , I feel like I'm in a fog. They say it gets easier as time goes on . Here's to day 4 !!

I would love to hear everyone's experience with there pre-op diets. I start mine tomorrow for 2 weeks. What helped make it easier and what made it harder. Is there anything you wish you would have known then ? Did you cheat ? Were you moody ? Tell me the details Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm going to call first thing in the morning . My folder only has pre op diet info ( two weeks liquid) My post op visit is 6 days after. If there is a class I have 2 weeks left only I need to schedule it asap Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Dr Sekhar in Roslyn heights, anyone use them ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Under 5 they probably don't need an explanation . And they probably wouldn't notice anything different . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I received my letter to stay out of work for 3 weeks after surgery (8/31) but It has the dr name and location which makes it pretty obvious what my plans are ! Of course it does what was I thinking . The letter just states major surgery but the location and Drs name is a giveaway . I'm going to go to my PCP and hope they will write it over for me on their letterhead . Wish me luck Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am a nurse , mostly paperwork and medicating patients . No lifting. I'm taking 3 weeks off . And if I don't feel well I will take more. Just as well if I feel good sooner I will return sooner. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My date is 8/31. I was fine up until today . Maybe because it's August who knows . I can't stop thinking about it and being scared . I can't even sleep tonight. I really think I need Xanax or something . If this continues I'm going to be a hot mess the day of surgery. I keep thinking am I ready , how can I not be I have prepared for this since February. How do I make this feeling go away . Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
