so i have been doing great post sleeve so far, getting all my Protein, fluids, etc etc....

so ive been starving really for something more solid. i got sleeved last Thursday, and have been following guidelines and stuff. but i got some greek yogurt today, ate a few bites and man!

restriction?!

what is that new sensation?!

weird!

it doesnt quite hurt, but i know somehow NOT to eat any more....

feel fine, almost like i need a sip of something ( i hear that can be bad)

but im cool!

do you HAVE to wait until your doc clears you for the next step? or is it cool to try some mushies at this point?

just trying to get a idea of what others have done as far as diet is concerned...

im looking at my list now and it says:

Yogurt, low fat or non fat (plain,unflavored/unsweetened,no added fruit)

sounds like a death sentence to me

Are you allowed the SF puddings at this point? I cant take the plain unsweetened yogurts either, but do make them mildly sweetened by mixing sweetened and unsweetened with some vanilla, but that would seem to be off your doc's menu as well. On the pudding front, if that is allowed, I mix some of the plain greek yogurt into it in place of one of the cups of milk. Add in a scoop of Protein powder and I get about 11g protein in a 4 oz serving, no obvious Protein Powder taste and only a mild tarting up from the yogurt.

But, yes, it does sound like a death sentence - I can understand the no added fruit at an early stage if they're worried about seeds or skins going thru, but they must be anally no-carb to sacrifice your protein intake for the sake of a few grams of sugar at such an early stage; it makes no sense from a structural perspective.

Good luck, and I hope you make it off death row soon!
