I was told by dietician to not worry on calories, protein and water. But trend to fat tg and carbs 15g when you did select something. Eating 1/3 cup meat and top to 1/2 cup with cooked veggies, once in a while a small piece of baked potato. Have lost 40# in 6 weeks from day of surgery.

I so welvomed puree stage for more spices, 1/4 cup pureed chicken curry salad, meatloaf with a little mash.potato and.ketchup, can turkey chili... Didn't use my teeth until soft food, eggs. Cottage cheese, now Jenni ground turkey taco or Italian seasoned.

I am moving to regular food off off soft. I've tried garlic chicken mushroom pizza. Scraping it off the crust, measuring it to 1/3-1/2 cup. Just tried curry chicken, no rice...1/3 c chicken add curry sauce to 1/2 c total. I'm going to Indian buffet for lunch next week. No nan-bread. Plan on mostly meat and sauce add veggies, little potato. Seasonings warm like medium taco sauce is okay. I will eat my portion and take home the rest, probably 3 more meals.

Bariatric Cookbook and Meal Plan Megan Moore, spiral. Gastric Sleeve Bariatric Bible 2022 William Torres. (Even though I had bypass not sleeve). 7 weeks post op and I've gone back to them once a week.

I started getting my energy back when I got to soft foods. I've never felt fatigue before. 3 weeks post op. I almost.legt my grocery cart at checkout and go home as I could barely stand up any more. Decided then to shop for a few things and checkout. Putting them away takes even more energy. So going back another day. Even next, gave me steps and I didn't get so fatigued.

I'm moving from soft stage to regular food and measure 99% of each meals portion, 1/2 cup. There are a few times that I felt full towards end of portion, with meat. Think I will keep measuring as much as I can. Plan to move towards 1cup after 6 months.

6 weeks. When I went to soft foods, measuring every thing to 1/2 cup. 1/3 cup protein, 1/8 cup veggie and 1/8 cup carb. I'm filling more satiety of food and this new life. Found Jenni ground turkey taco seasoned, scrambled eggs with turkey sausage patties diced. I have a few puree meals still frozen as backup if my new food not agreeing with me. But this is also a noticeable hunger that hasn't been there for last 6 weeks.

Doing Noom the year before my 10/19 surgery it encouraged if hungry drink water and wait 20 minutes. Now I try the same. I find a protein shake works. It also gets me 30g protein. Either a good first choice. But I eat 5x day. I'm eating 1/3 cup meat 4x day or eggs for breakfast. 1/8 cup vegetable or baked yam or potato. My meat is 93% ground beef or Jenni ground turkey taco or Italian seasoned. Add guacamole and salsa to first and marinara to second.

My surgery was Oct 19 and almost through soft foods. I still measure every meal. I have a 14 oz glass that I goal to drink 4 of. Try to eat every 2 hours. One protein shake a day. Just getting my energy back. Dec 13 I go to any food. Will skip steak bread for a.year. try one food a day. So far only had fast heart rate the second week. Spices don't bother me. Found ground turkey (Jenni) taco or Italian flavored, turkey sausage and looking forward to turkey bacon. 93% ground beef is treating me fine. Eating 1/2 cup, measured each meal, 5x day. Take the container when I eat out. I have a card party at Denny and Perkins. Omelet, tomato soup. Will continue with protein shake for the first year to maintain protein until I get to 1 cup.

I did a year of Noom the year before surgery. Lost 30#, 80% low carb and small portions. 20% was eat the hell you want but small portions. You need to feel satiety. So 2 meals a week it is free game.

I found beef broth doesn't have as much protein as chicken broth. I flavored it with taco seasoning, a Buffalo seasoning, smoked paprika.... Neighbor made French onion soup, strained, it was delicious. But mostly I had cambell or lipton chicken noodle soup strained broth. Threw away the noodles chicken. I later moved to cream of chicken soup with dry milk powder to add protein.

My surgery date was 10/19 and only after a week or two of soft foods did I get some energy. Started using my treadmill.

I tried several brands and found Fairlite chocolate the best. There were brands and flavors: Carmel, Cinnamon Swirl, strawberry, and vanilla ( which I added extracts).

I use powdered milk to liquidify my food in blender during my puree stage. Extra protein. Patience.

I am 6 weeks post surgery. I swear by fairlite protein drinks. 30g protein or Muscle milk has a 40g. I plan to drink them for the whole year. I set a 15 minute timer on my phone and drank 1 oz water. Found room temperature was best not cold. I found sugarless skittles flavoring for water. Green apple and grape are great. I drank my protein drink 1 ounce an hour.

Great. I lost 33# the first month then a stall for 2 weeks now. I now am getting enough energy with soft foods so set up my treadmill. I will rejoin my gymn membership in January. Plan to do some mall browsing to get steps in. Just got my fitbit out. For 5 days the 4th week, no scale movement and then bam 3#. I guess patience, hydrate and protein while getting to enjoy life is key. Scale 2x a week.

I'm 6 weeks out and tried topping of cheese pizza first. Last week tried garlic chicken and mushrooms, just the topping. Very good. A small pizza, 2 slices topping measured unto my 1/2 cup tale home container.

Patience. I go for a week or so nothing then bam down #3. Try some.of your previous clothes that gave me motivation. My pants were baggy in butt and thighs.

I had my surgery Oct 19. I bought twenty 1/2 cup containers. I measure everything before I eat it, even in restaurants. Just moved to 1/2 cup. I eat every 2 hours. I drink a protein drink 4 oz every 15 minutes. I have a large sippy cup, 14 oz that I drink 3 of each day. I bought 4 large ice cube trays at Walmsrt, 1/2 cup to freeze and put in ziplock bag, portion sized when I take out a cube for a meal. I browned #2 ground turkey taco seasoned and put 1/3 cup in each, topped with guacamole. Same with Italian, topped with marinara and 2 cooked cheese tortellini. Turkey chili.
