What stage of food are you on? I loved a enchilada/bean dip during the pureed/soft phase, the ricotta bake and just made a chicken and cauliflower "mac" and cheese casserole. I made most of these without meat in the pureed phase and just added ground turkey when I moved to the soft food stage.

I found egg white wraps and made a roll up with those for lunch with tuna or ham. and Breakfast has been scramble eggs. Adding more variety to them the further I move in my stages.

I am starting the soft food stage now, I love your ideas, I will use them just need something different, thank you...I probably should get a bariatric cookbook.

Had my surgery on July 12th, its been a month , I'm down 21 pounds, feeling good no complications, only issue is finding ideas for what to eat, i am bored with everything, i use the Protein Shots they are a big help with meeting Protein goals.

Hi everyone - my surgery is actually tomorrow. For some reason I’m weirdly calm right now. Maybe the nerves will set in tomorrow?

Unfortunately my procedure isn’t until late in the day… lots of time to think…

Hello, my surgery is tomorrow also, 1:00, its going to be a long day, i cant have any more liquids after midnight, but i am excited, good luck tomorrow.

How are you doing? how long before you can sleep on your stomach? What are you using to track your liquids?

Hi, @Sherry Bo Berry! Welcome and thanks for sharing! We'll be surgery buddies - mine is July 12th, too. Travel and long walks are great whys! Reading forums like these and blogs or vlogs from other VSGers is a good way to get more prepared. I also recommend https://www.oursleevedlifepodcast.com/. You got this!

Thanks for the info, I still don't know what time my surgery is, I won't find that out until the night before, how about you?

I'm 50 and had my sleeve surgery 3/13/23. I have lost a little over 60 pounds. I don't know if that's slower than someone younger but I am very happy so far with my results.

WOW, good job, are you seeing loose skin?

Hello everyone, I will be having surgery on July 12, for the puree stage my doctor recommended baby food, has anyone tried that?

Hi everyone I am new here, my first post. I am having the sleeve on july 12th, i am nervous and excited, my weight has been holding me back, looking forward to travelling again and being able to walk for extended periods, also worried about not being prepared.
