2 weeks out, what are you eating?



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks out today and just wondered what everyone was eating? And do you feel like you are hungry all the time? Please list like what a typical day is for you! I need some input on this!

It depends on the doctor's post op diet. Some people still get Protein drinks and Clear liquids. Others get to move on to mushies like creamed Soups, cottage cheese etc. Some doctors have a rule that if it can fit through a straw then it is fine (so they puree different things).

I hate to be so general but if you give us an idea of what your post op states we can give some solid idea's on what has been used by other sleevers :scared0:

I was sleeved on 8/31 and I am eating just about anything..with the exception of raw veggies and things like steak. Tonight I had some roast chicken and it was yummy.

At two weeks, my surgeon's plan said I could start the mushies. You'll want to check with your Dr first, but I've been living on the following:

Cream of Wheat

Egg (1, with a little salsa)

String cheese

Cottage cheese

Soups from a local Soup shop (puree'd)

Lite Yogurt

etc. It hasn't been that bad. Again, check with your Dr, but those are the things that are working for me.

I've been whizzing up just about anything I think might be suitable. Not all have been successful mind! As long as there are no lumps and it is a yoghurty consistency it should be ok.

So far I've done:

Fish in white sauce with broccoli and mash potato - blended with a little extra stock to loosen

Portion of bean and beef chilli - blended with some lite soft cheese so it wasn't too spicy

Cottage pie and carrots - blended with gravy to loosen (it was what my Mum made for everyone else so I got to have some too)

Yoghurt and banana - blended with a little apple juice to loosen

Hope that gives you some ideas! xx

So how much are you eating at one time? I guess I just feel as if I am also eating too much at one time, but I am actually hungry. I am having greek yogurt like half a cup with honey, mashed potatoes like half a cup. Also Soup blended in blender, ricotta cheese with a little spaghetti sauce, cream of wheat with pb in it. I guess I just wonder if this is ok? I had the band before and I couldn't eat anything and I could always feel it restricting. With the sleeve I really can't feel it and I guess I am comparing to the band?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
