Congrats and welcome to the losers bench!

Was sleeved on 1/14/19 down 30lbs but I think I eat to big of a portion compared to others. Any input?

Tell me about it, I don’t think I wanna try eggs again for awhile. Maybe an isolated event but yuck ?

I did the same thing the other morning I had a boiled egg and all of sudden I started sweating and a lot of saliva in my mouth. I started gagging over and over again nothing really came up but I felt so bad for most of the day. I had to take a pill for nausea. I said that I am so done with eggs I have tried scrabbled and boiled.

I’m doing great. Struggling with food choices, scared I’m overeating, blocked up, back at work full time, walking 8k steps a day and loving the kgs and cms falling off me ??

Welcome! How are you feeling?

My diet so far is a sort of mix of purée and soft. I’m not overly keen on things with the texture of baby food. Some of the things I’ve tried that aren’t too bad are
Stewed fruit with custard or yogurt.
Slightly undercooked poached egg. Mashed not blended.
Baked beans.
Tinned corned beef
Cooked mashed vegetables.
Avo.
Smoked salmon, Tuna both of these are also good blended with cottage cheese.
I did blend some super soft slow cooked beef with gravy yesterday and had it over veg. That was ok. Blending everything together though is gross.
Tried a tuna lasagne - wasn’t a fan so that got used as dog food

Oatmeal is ok for purée stage??

I’ve done chicken salad on puréed. I put rotisserie chicken in a food processor with some spices and chicken broth. Puréed that and then added Greek yogurt and mayo. It was actually really good despite looking a little gross. I’ve made it twice.

Ellens531 I have eaten applesauce I just can’t purée meat. That seems so disgusting to me. How did you eat the chicken salad and tuna did you purée?

I am going to purée a little chicken and mix it until smooth with light mayo and just try it. If it’s awful I will wait til soft foods to add meats

Try the weight watchers smoked string cheese. It’s soo good.

I’m going to try Greek yogurt , chicken salad, and ricotta bake this week. Last day of liquids is tomorrow ?

I did not puree. I chewed and chewed and chewed. I call it chewing beyond any recognition of flavor lol

I feel the same. I can start purées on Wednesday but blending meat sounds so ...yuck.

I’m scheduled for this wednesday the 6th...???

How are all January sleevers doing? I'm 2.5 weeks post op. Just trying to get in my water and protein. It can sometimes be a battle.

KayC12109, thank you! Glad to hear you are doing so well! I can't imagine how painful the sneezing was and coughing was. Glad you are better.

Hi everybody! My surgery was on 1/7 and I’m 40 lbs down so far! Nice to meet you all

Treza make sure you do everything your surgeon and team tells you. And take one day at a time you will do well. I had surgery on 1/15 and I have no regrets I am doing well and healing well. The first couple of days were rough because my allergies flared up and I was sneezing and coughing I thought I was going to die. But I am doing so much better!

A good end will gratify you after the discomfort of today. You just came throughout surgery, and it is called major for a reason, body is acting shook up. Remember it was happy before surgery, and it's mad you upset the status quo. And while it gets used to. the new reality it is not gonna be a happy camper. Each of us has a weak point it seems to attack,you at. Some of us vomit, some people can't stand up straight, some felt every stab wound, my entire stomach turned purple, not just around the port wounds, the entire flippin' stomach wall, near as my doctor and I could figure out , a small skin vein got knicked, when I got enough Lovenex in me. I hemmorhaged under the skin, between skin and fat layer, looked like I was carrying an aliens baby. But I got through it, and every day you will feel a little better, take a while for tenderness to go away, but it will, almost everything you feel now gets better. At 5 months if you don't know where to look my scars have faded into my stretch marks, and I swore at the begging I would have big wide red scars, I don't , I look at them and to me they are battle ribbons, awarded for a long fight, and worth it, but right after surgery wouldn't have believed it.

Well, I’m counting the Hours down now... surgery is first thing in the morning!!! All liquids today went pretty good. Wish you all luck in your journey and swift recovery!!!!!

Well had my surgery done yesterday morning, was great didn’t remember a thing. Been walking every two hours and have only skipped 4 oz of water so far ..
have some pain like an 8 had some medicine for the pain . It 350 am and I’m up went for a walk but in a lil pain ..

I'm officially 2 weeks out and can start on soft foods! I planned on having a slice of turkey and cheese, but I had 1/5 of the cheese and it made me a little nauseous. It wasn't too bad and only lasted for a few minutes. Hopefully the salmon I'm making for dinner agrees more with my stomach.
