Hi all. I was sleeved on 6/1. I should be starting puréed food at this point but what I have read for suggestions turns my stomach so I'm still on Protein shakes only. The idea of baby food makes me nauseous. I love cottage cheese but if I'm reading correctly, I need to purée it with a liquid? I feel stupid for asking but I'm starting to get sick of the shakes. Help??? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I bought the creamy bariatric soups from the website and they don't seem to be settling well. I'm in the bathroom within minutes Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you all so so very much! I figured it needed to be bland. I'm a Mexican and Portuguese food person and I like things tasty and spicy. I know the spicy needs to wait. My paperwork showed baby food and watery low sugar oatmeal as suggestions. I'd rather starve! Again, thank you Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Can I take a small amount of a low cal and low sodium Soup and purée (like Progresso)that? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my surgery June 1st. The gas in my stomach and left shoulder actually stops my breathing. I take GasX and move around as much as possible. Any other suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

KristenLe- I'd never had surgery before. Also, I'd been so active for many weeks prior to the surgery, I think that I just got used to not stopping until it was bedtime. I'm actually starting a new job tomorrow and am hoping that I didn't jump the gun on it. I'm sure I will be exhausted but I really had no choice. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I hate to be the Debbie Downer here but...I had my surgery on 6/1-Wednesday. Today, Sunday, is the 1st day I didn't feel regret about getting the surgery. I'm guessing I'm a big baby when it comes to pain. I also don't like not being able to do yard work and normal, every day things. As you stated, everyone is different, but the gas pains were and still are very difficult. My left shoulder hurt so badly that they did an EKG on me in the hospital. All good though. I'm having a very easy time getting my Protein shakes and Water down. Every day is a little bit better. Good luck to you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I will try the heating pad, thanks. Very disheartening; I just stepped on the scale and I weigh more than I did on my surgery day! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm sure I can but OH BOY! I'm being tested with stress on the first day already Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm new here as of tonight. My husband is asleep, clueless. I will be starting my 2 week pre-diet this Wednesday and am being so bad with everything. Coffee! Can I live without it? Can I afford to be that petty? No, but I want and need to whine a bit

Today is my last day before I start my pre diet and I'm feeling Very afraid and cranky. Alcohol and food have always been my run-to's when I'm stressed. Reality is settling in Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was moved to 6/1. I start my diet on Wednesday and have been trying to take it easy on the coffee. Luckily I'm not a soda drinker. Another thing I'm worried about is that I drink Water and lots of it with my meals. They say you can't do that either. I'll live but I'm going to whine a whole lot! Melissakate and Loser140, how are you feeling? Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Mike, do you have to do a two week diet beforehand? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
