I am 2 weeks out and looking forward to eggs, canned meat, etc starting week 3. I can't have ground meat until after week 6.. Something about red meat they say it is hard to process. I am going to stick with baked fish, tuna, salmon and canned chicken & tuna. Guacamole sounds so good though.

Ground meat is not a mushie, believe me when i tell you i am only 24 days out and there is no way you will be able to eat any of that, you will be lucky to eat 2 tablespoons of anything and maybe not even that , i can barely eat 1 or 2 tablespoons, and most of it comes right back up if i dont slow down and chew more, i am learning that now, dont get me wrong i am learning to love my sleeve , its a whole new way of life, slow slow slow, and sip sip sip, and they really mean it, yeah i had the 1st week of omg what the hell did i do to myself, the cryying the wineing, now i am in learning mode i can look at food and know if i eat that i might as well stand next to the trash can............i wish you luck but be careful what you put in that new sleeve its a baby.

I am eleven days post op and last night I made Hamburger Helper for my family. I had three bites of the ground beef, which was pretty fine and chewed it til it was almost non-existent. It is now 3:45 the next day and I can still feel it sitting in my stomach. A friend of mine said it took her a couple of months to work up to ground beef. I also read that the leaner the meat is, the harder it is to digest. I have always bought the 4% lean beef, so it was low in fat.

:

I didn't throw up or get sick at all, but I can definitely still feel it sitting there. That was my first attempt at any kind of meat or "food" since I am still supposed to be on Clear Liquids. However, I had a breakdown yesterday afternoon and was throwing all caution to the wind to make myself feel better. See where that got me? LOL!

I ate ground meat by 2-3 weeks post. I had it in meat sauce that I made for Pasta. I just added more sauce and put it through the blender so it was very fine. I also added some parmesan cheese to it. It was delicious and settled fine, though I was only able to eat 1-2 tablespoons. I was able to get all fluids and Protein in in the first week. I suspect that those who are vomiting up liquids early out should probably not try ground beef until much later. Judge it on how you feel and what your NUT plan is.

How about the melted cheese off a slice of pizza? Is that considered a mushie? I don't like cheese except the cheese off of pizza and melted cheese on the pintos and cheese from taco bell. Can I eat that?

Also has anyone tried anything slightly spicey? I am worried about that but I like crushed hot peppers in my tuna salad which I can't wait to have next week but worried how my stomach may react. I mean I can eat it without just wondering if it's too early to have spicy foods?

I actually pureed some chili with a little extra hot sauce and it didn't bother my stomach. I needed something other than mashed potoatos and applesauce.

I would wait a while on the meat. When I did have it we cut it up really fine and added lots of gravy to make it super moist. Spicey didn't bother me at all. I think the anti-acid drugs that most of us are taking really help in that department. Be careful with guacamole, it is super high calorie and one of the things that my NUT suggested never return to my diet.

At two weeks I had real chicken and post roast. Just chew around 50 times. Also able to eat normal 5 inch plate. I am around 7-8 weeks out and eating normal. At a few days, I still wasn't thinking about eating much and stuck to things like apple sauce, Jello, pudding, deviled ham and such. Just have patience.

I tried some fajita and between the spice and flour tortillas it didn't stay down so when you have your taco meat, flour tortilla is like uncooked bread it is not advisable and corn tortilla may be a little rough until you get a couple of months out. Check with your doctor on that.

Really? It's high in (good) fat, so high in calories, but avocado is very good for you. I wouldn't say NEVER eat it. I actually use avocado in place of Mayonnaise when I make chicken salad. It gives it the creaminess without the saturated fat from mayo.< /p>

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
