Your able to eat mashed potatoes and chilling over the clear liquidate? Just wondering is rhe Chilli with Beans, tomatoes etc? Thanks! I am on full liquids and not able to eat more than 2ounces per meal 3 times a day and it's only yogurt, pudding, cream Soups but nothing with chunks or mashed consistency. Trying to get some ideas for when I go to pureed next Thursday. Its been a long 17 days on clear/full liquids(including preop diet). Thanks

Thank you!!! I am all packed a ready to go in the morning!!

To all my 12/27 buddies - I wish you good luck and can't wait to hear about your successes!
Here is to a new us in 2024! 🎉

I’m in my second week of puréed diet. I also had two weeks puréed. My VSG was 12/04 and I’m looking forward to moving to soft foods next week. During the puréed, I have eaten ricotta bake; mashed potatoes; grits and eggs. Otherwise, Protein shakes….

Well the good thing is you are at the three week mark and can soon start puréed stage. That is only a week then soft food and then onto regular. Just focus on each day getting it done and then find something to occupy your time. Make sure you’re getting your Water in. 4 more weeks will be done in no time.

I’m scheduled for December 4.

I had my gastric sleeve on Dec 4 and it went well. My hardest thing is staying hydrated and being hungry often. I sip all kinds of broth so I don’t get tired of the Protein20 and Gatorade zero. I also take Protgold and I have a liquid Vitamin called NutraMetrix (calcium complete and Multivitamin with iron). My dietitian approved these Vitamins for me.

I’m scheduled for December 4.

I’ve got my date of December 20th! I’m so excited.
I stated this journey with my first consult on September 21st, 2023 it took one month to get things done and get a date. I have my preop class on November 8th to learn what all I can and can’t eat.

Anyone else have a December date?

I’m scheduled for December 4.

Hi loves, I'm scheduled for Dec 6

Glad to know I'm not the only one to experience it.
Question: Anyone have a fav. broth, Bone Broth, or recipe for one? Started my Pre-op liquid diet on Monday and the weather has been insanely cold. Craving something warm in my belly.

My gastric sleeve surgery date is 12/19/23 and would love to connect with others having surgery in December so that we can support each other on this journey. 😊

Your plan is not that different from my plan. 3 meals of 3-4oz Protein + 1oz veggies, no Snacks, no Protein Drinks. The idea is learning to eat like a healthy person. It took me several months to be able to complete a meal somewhat regularly.
Unfortunately for your Surgeon, the math doesn't really work out. There is no way you will get to 80g of protein on this plan, nor do you need that much. 60oz is more than enough for a healthy person. Depending on your size even less may be OK.
Regardless, just do the best you can. You can only fill a cup so much. You will manage.
All these years later, this is still my eating plan. It just comes naturally now. Still don't manage to eat everything much of the time.
Good luck,
Tek
