Hi ImnLeslie. I am 14 days post op but like you, I started testing the food waters months ago. I have had two different meat baby foods in tiny jars which is about the perfect size. One was chicken and the other beef. They both have 9 g of Protein and if you add a bit of seasoning they arent half bad. I personally have only tried one "protein" anything that was decent which is a lemonade. Having said that, I was talking to one of my friends who steered me to Slimfast . You can get it with 10 or 20 g of protien. I got the 20 g one and by golly, its pretty darn good. Its not possible to drink it in one sitting but every little bit helps right?! Good luck! I will tell you the first week is rough but two weeks out Im feeling better than I have in over two years!!

My NUT told me not to have baby food. I'm not sure why exactly, but I think it's because baby food is really just for babies. Besides, most of it is disgusting. Just my two cents.

I was thinking of pureeing the part of Soup that has the meat and stuff and adding it back into the broth. I'm not to the puree stage, but I thought that didn't sound too bad.

So far plain Greek yogurt with a little crystal light is sitting well. I've also had retried Beans with melted cheese and scrambled eggs with melted cheese. I cannot eat enough to get to my Protein goals, so Protein Shakes are a must.

Thanks to another poster on this site I ordered puréed foods from a place called Blossom Foods (blossomfoods.com). They ship puréed food right to you frozen and the portions are perfect Especially, the individual items. The complete meals with Protein, startch and vegetable are a little too much for one sitting for me at this point but you can always reheat it and make a couple of meals out of it. I particular like the chicken enchiladas and the eggs with ham but everything I have tried is really good and it only takes two minutes in the microwave.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
