I've been eating regular food since 6days post op. No puree stage or anything. He doesn't do that. I've tried eggs, turkey, chicken, ground beef, crab, cheese, high fiber cereal. I have been ok with most. I didn't know we can have pasta or bread. He did finaly tell me that I can have low carb bread, but I'm afraid to try. I can drink gulps of water, it's just hard because I don't WANT it. I have never been a big drinker. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I KNOW it would break me if I don't lose! I am not going to weigh. I also DON'T drink enough. Did you squeeze 3 oranges a day to help? Also, how long was it until you were "regular" again? Maybe that would help me Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

He told me (at 14days post op) that I am completely healed! I thought it took 6 weeks to be completely healed!? Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Thats what my dr did. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Going back to the yogurt is the dietitians idea. The dr doesn't want me eating anything that will "slide through" my stomach. He wants stuff that will sit in there. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. I am almost 3 weeks post op (sleeve) I am having a very hard time getting my vitamins in. What kind is everyone taking? I'm currently on Baritric Fusion, 1 chewable 4xs a day. I would rather have one I can swallow. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Ugh. I'm 18 days out, and I refuse to weigh myself, I'm afraid that if I see that I'm not losing, it will hit me hard. Lol Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I KNOW! It comcerned me, so I met with a dietitian today, she suggested I go back to the shakes and Greek yogurt. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I agree with you. I was concerned, so I met with a dietitian today. She suggested I go back to shakes and smoothies with un-flavored protein powder. She also suggested I go back to the Greek yogurt. I am still going to try more foods, but I am going to do what I need to do to get in my protein. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. I was just wondering, is the "3 week stall" a DEFINITE thing? Does everyone experience it? I'm currently 17days post op. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, I am in Pennsylvania. I am supposed to be getting 60g at the minimum. He said he is most concerned that I'm drinking, he's not worried about me eating. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Nope! All nutrition must come from my food! I might start looking for a shake I can drink, I NEED SOME kind of nutrition! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Is it normal at 16 days post op (sleeve) to just NOT want to eat? If I do eat something, I stop the second I feel ANYTHING change in my stomach, but 5 minutes later, the nausea starts. It lasts 15-20 min then goes away. I'm worried because I'm NOT getting much protein in and my dr said he doesn't care if I don't eat, as long as I'm drinking. (NO protein shakes) did tbis happen to anyone else? When/will it go away????? Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

16days! On solid food for 10days. I'm not doing very well. I ate VERY little today. I actually have a meeting with a dietitian tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm having a VERY hard time getting in my protein. I get hungry, but I just don't feel like eating. Today, I'm having trouble drinking my water. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I saw my surgeon yesterday for my post op visit, and he cut one of my bp meds to half! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

He said he wants ALL of my nutrition to come from food. No "artificial" means Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

My surgeon told me today that I can have a little bit of watermelon. I'm a little afraid to try it since it used to give me heartburn pre-op. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I saw my surgeon today, he said if I need a snack, he would rather see me eat fresh fruit. No bars or shakes. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm CRAVING watermelon!!! I am 2 weeks out. I am going to ask the dr tomorrow!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I had problems getting water down, but I was good with ice chips. I ate so much ice the first few days, by the end of the 1st week, I was drinking much better. I'm now 2 weeks out, and I can take 2 or 3 gulps at a time with no problems. But, I can only drink SUPER COLD water. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

I can understand in a way. I am only 2 weeks out (+2 weeks pre-op diet) I don't miss eating big meals, but I do miss bread. I am tired of eggs everyday for breakfast. I would be so happy if I could even have a piece of low carb bread for toast in the morning. Some days I'm fine, other days, I have to force myself to eat because I am just not a big meat lover. But, I am so grateful for this chance at a normal life, I won't do ANYTHING to mess it up. Good luck!!! Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. I have my first appt tomorrow with my surgeon since I've been sleeved. I was just wondering, is a 14lb loss good for 2 weeks post op? I just want to be prepared if I'm below where I "should" be. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi. I have 2 questions, First, I have been on food (soft meats) for over a week, and suddenly, I just don't feel like eating anymore. Is that normal? My surgery was June 14. And 2, I have been drinking Fairlife fat free milk, but since I am having trouble getting much food in, should I switch to the whole or low fat instead of fat free? For calories. I see the surgeon on Thurs and a dietition on Sat. Thank you. Sent from my SM-G930T using BariatricPal mobile app
