Ok, I was sleeved on 12/28/17, and after 7 days I was allowed to go on to pureed foods. I know a lot of people are looking forward to this stage, or at least thinking about it. It may be a little fast for me, but I was told to try scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, etc. as I could tolerate them. I'm looking for tips and ideas, as well as willing to share my own. I'm doing my shake for breakfast. Scrambled eggs were disappointing. I made some deviled eggs, but those hit me hard in the stomach. Vienna sausages, apple sauce, and skim milk make up most of the "solid" food I can handle at this point. I did have some refried beans one day, and string cheese. I do want to try EggFace's Ricatta Bake, but I haven't made it to the store lately. Any ideas are appreciated.

Protien water makes me burp a lot! And I'm getting sick of the tropical punch flavor. Gag! I do good wanting a shake for breakfast. It goes down pretty well. It's the rest of the day that is full of suprises!

When should I expect to start seeing some real weight loss? I'm down 15 lbs. total, but that's including what I lost before surgery on liquid diet. I KNOW I'm not supposed to weigh until 2 weeks out, and I'm 8 days, but I couldn't help myself. The scale is staring at me every time I go into the bathroom! Hahah!

Don't panic! Go with the flow! Order your vitamins, get on the diet you should be on! It'll be great! Congrats!

All surgeries have some sort of risk associated with it. If you're too worried, I think its a good thing to take a step back, and try a different approach. You can always revisit surgery if you want. Its YOUR choice. Its YOUR body. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise. You know what's best for you! Good luck!

I lived off of sugar free popsicles during clear phase. I still enjoy!

I’ve been taking multivitamins and biotene melts, hoping to curb any hair loss. That’s my biggest fear!

That does sound like a lot! Bless your heart!

I had 5 days of clear liquids, only 2 of full liquid, after 7 puréed. I’ve had to learn the hard way to ease into puréed. My puréed diet is very similar to full liquid.

Me too! Can’t wait to see everybody’s! I feel a little guilty taking off extra for work, but I figure it can’t hurt! I’m easing back into it!

It’s not all it’s cracked up to be! Lol! I looked forward to that scrambled egg SO much! It was disappointing. I puked up a string cheese yesterday. Idk if I didn’t chew it enough, or what. They have been going down alright. I’m sticking the super puréed food today. I had a protein shake for breakfast and soupy mashed potatoes for lunch. I’m making it - slowly, though!

Im on day 7, too, and I’ve definitely felt hungry and had my stomach growling. I started puréed food today. It’s not going down well - feels like a punch in the stomach! ?

Lol. You’ll make it, girl! If I could do it - anybody can! Try to change up your flavors or make a shake, maybe? Good luck!

I’ve been the same. I took one Imodium the first day I had the runs. Then I switched to kaopectate liquid bc it went down easier. Good luck!

I had mine the same day as you. Awful nausea for about 48 hours after. Maybe the anesthesia? I’m doing pretty good. Staying sedentary and taking about 1/2 or a Norco 2x a day.

The only day I didn’t take my Effexor was the day of surgery. I only took my lisinopril (BP.) the next day the nurse in the hospital brought it to me, and I’ve taken it since with no worries. Good luck!

Me too! Planning on going back Jan. 9 when the kids start back. That’ll be 12 Days post_op for me.

Awesome! How are you feeling?

Me too! When the said “gas,” I just assumed the other end. ??‍♀️ I’m burping a lot!

If I drink too much or too fast, it hits me in the gut like a ton of bricks! Try to get down what you can.

Everyone is different. I’m taking my time and trying to figure out what my body needs. No rush!

Same as me. Three days out. I tried half a cup of jello and my tummy was NOT having it. Later on, I had some sugar free pudding that went down ok. Finally took a BM. (TMI, it was kinda funny. I would expect that after having nothing but liquids for a week.) Incision pain is better. Nausea is almost gone. I’ve been walking around and doing really well on my liquids and proteins.

I had my surgery on dec. 28 as well. I’ve been in a good amount of pain. Been taking my Norco and phenegan every 4 hours. I have the stabbing under my right breast. My doctor said that suture would hurt the mist bc that’s where he had to pull my stomach. Maybe the same with you. Speedy recovery!
