Keep trying to reach your Nutritionist. At three weeks post-op I was still on full liquids.... no eggs, no mashed potatoes, no chicken, no fruit, and definitely not chicken McNuggets. At 4.5 months out I still can't eat anything fried. I was drinking Protein drinks and pureed foods. Perhaps you are advancing your diet too quickly? Just keep doing the things your doctor tells you and don't worry about what the scale or the mirror says!

yes, I agree you should keep reaching out to your nut until they respond...

I am have only "nibbled" on a fried food item twice now since surgery and it was well past 5 months out... I didnt do mash potato's either cause there is no nutritional value there at all..

I am no professional but it sure sounds to me like you need to increase your eating, be more structured on 3 small healthy meals... that is where your nut should come in and discuss your food options..

Good luck my friend...

I am 2 weeks post-op and still eating pureed mushie foods, I suggest you take a step back and concentrate on getting in your protein. If you are still hungry have a protein shake or drink in betwwen meals.I'm surprised you ate chicken nuggets, Usually fried food would make you nauseous. you just want to be good to your new sleeve and your body, remember why you did this and try to eat clean and healthy foods. I'm not judging you, just love yourself don;t disrespect your sleeve. Take it one day at a time and plan your meals or snacks if you will be out. good luck

I do mashed potatoes but I add in 1 scoop of Beneprotein which gives me 6g of protein. I also only eat about 3 ounces.

well i am 4 weeks post op and i can eat now like 4 to 6 oz and all i eat is mash potatoes and turkey ham and or lean meat i get full so quick but now i see that i am loosing weight i dont know how much but i lost the first to weeks 17lbs

At three weeks out, I was only on thick liquids. I had things like cream of chicken Soup, mushy tuna salad, cottage cheese, greek yogurt. I would not even think of anything with breading until a ways in. I have just started (at 4 months) trying to experiment with one nugget and I scrape most of the breading off. If you eat too little, your body will think it is in starvation mode and will not work with you. What I would try to do is have three meals a day. For example, breakfast have a soft scrambled egg - a bit later have a Protein drink (Atkins or Muscle Milk light) - lunch have some cream soup (chicken, tomato, mushroom). Be sure to drink Water in between. For dinner have some cottage cheese, yogurt, tuna - something like that and if you are still hungry, have another Protein Drink. I would eat canned fruit only in its own juice (not with light syrup). Watch the smoothies as the skins from the fruit can bother you early on. You have to start being really careful now and get into the habit of thinking about every thing before you eat it. You will do fine, just watch carefully what you eat.
