    So, here I am searching puréed stage because, like Brian, I am feeling good, and tolerating some purées now.

    The poor guy came on here asking for some tasty foods. He didn’t say he was on here wanting a large cheese pizza or an everything bagel smothered in cream cheese, or French toast, pancakes and the like.

    He simply came to a forum, that is here for people to get ideas, recipes, calms fears and rejoices in each other’s victories.

    I’ve noticed a lot of being on your “high horse” recently on the forum, and it really needs to stop.

    We all came here because we were fat and unhealthy. NO ONE is perfect.

    DrBrian, I am 1 week and 4 days post op. I have tried Soups mostly, and can handle all of them. In fact, I had about 4oz of French onion Soup without the cheese and very little onion, and did great. I’ve also had about 2-3oz of chili.

    Also, I am down 20lbs from my surgical weight today and neither of my decisions wanted me to go back to old ways of eating. I would have had the entire Soup and chili plus an entire meal before.

    I’m 1 week and 4 days post op today! I am down 22lbs since surgery! Feeling great. I haven’t had any real cravings, started missing texture so I did add in Soups and had some ricotta bake to help satisfy that! Purées start on Monday but I’m a couple days ahead.

    Oh and the “pipes” have been working since post op day 5 for me. Pain has been gone since post op day 6. I’m waking regularly, no 10k steps, but walking nonetheless. I will get the exercise ok at post op appt on Monday!

    I’m a little over one month post op, and I don’t have any interest in food. However, I think my disinterest is in large part to the amount of puking I’ve been doing. I haven’t been able to move from purées yet. I can’t stomach another Protein Shake. I make one each day, and get about an ounce in before I can’t drink anymore. It’s hard to believe my pouch could be so small, but it just is. I get full, very very fast. Within 1-3 bites and I’m done. I’m practicing everything I’ve been told. Putting the fork down, chewing everything until you can’t chew anymore, trying to eat smaller frequent meals... etc. but I just can’t get it in. My NP however told me that if I’m getting in 40g of Protein, she’s ok with that for now. I need to be at 600 cals/day in order to go back to work, and I’m just not there, not even close. I’m hoping that another week of purées and I’ll be ready for soft foods.
    Just keep doing the best you can. ❤️

    It can be hard. I added in clear Protein like Isopure. Also a Protein Powder favored by vegans. With Fluffy on fruits - I gain if I eat even a serving a day. Steamed shrimp remain my go to protein Mix it up and let yourself get really hungry then protein. Best to you.

    Let me be clear. When I say snacking, I mean fruits and veggies. I’m not downing Cookies and French fries. My meals consist of mainly fruits and veggies most of the time because meat is not appealing. That’s all I was trying to say. No need to use profanity on this thread. Thanks.

    Why are you so rude today? Normally I'm interested in your comments but for some reason today, your advice seems nothing but patronizing and damn right bullying. If you don't like the posts, move on but no need to make the person who wrote it feel invalidated. . Jeez! 🙄🙄🙄

    I have had 2 c-sections (last one 5 years ago). My worry is more for scar tissue and pain management afterward! Plus I am a nurse in the hospital where I am having the procedure so of course that gives me a little nerves. I am super excited for the journey though! I can't wait. You are having yours done in Mexico?

    Mmmmmm yummy fruit bars! My doctors office also said they are ok. And if we are getting technical, the “sugar free” popsicle brand has carbs so... carbs turn to sugar. I guess if you’re that concerned about of a couple grams of sugars, you’re gonna have a pretty boring rest of your life. Everything has sugars, it’s called balance! She’s not asking about a Dove double chocolate bar.

    Whoa let’s step down off the judgey pedestal. The brand has 2g of sugar and was specifically recommended by my surgeons office so please calm down. As we’ve seen so many times before everyone’s surgeon has different suggestions, and lately people around here have been so quick to jump on a high horse and correct people saying they are wrong about everything from how they are feeling to what they are eating .
