@jayg , lol!!! That is so funny because my hubby was eating jack in the box!!! I never wanted a taco so bad in my life! I was JUST telling my sister that I don't care what I have I just want something solid. A salad w chicken would be good. I am so glad you all understand.

Yay to all of us though!! We all seem to be down some. It's a start. My biggest fear is that the sleeve is not going to work for me and I will only lose 20 pounds. All that for 20 pounds??? I know that's negative but I know all eyes are on me expecting me to shrink before their eyes. Just a mental "trip out" I'm having!

I would like to eat ANYTHING at this point. I am thinking puréed egg and chicken salad to start . ( can't have till another two more weeks) or cream Soup. Awwww my mouth is watering.;)

I know it's a journey but this part stinks. I have post op Tuesday. In my kaiser book it says stage 3 is adding thin shaved turkey deli meat, eggs, low fat mayo, saltine crackers, dry toast.... It doesn't even say much about puréed food. Funny how different or stages can be.

I lost 28 pounds preop (july 2) and am now at a total of 40 pound weight loss (surgery being the 27th of sept). Don't fear... It will come off. We can do it! You can do it. :)

I am curious as to what everyone is eating. I am allowed not even purée foods. Not until the 18th. I can have my shakes, broth, Jello, popcicles. I did try a little puréed Soup and after 3 bites I was stuffed and sick!! I have locked a spoon here and there but nothing solid.

I am allowed Water (of course), broth, sugar free Jello and puddings, strained cream soup and Protein shakes (which after surgery I absolutely hate and am having a hard time finding one I can keep settled-so far the winner is unjury chicken soup flavor but can never finish the last two tablespoons)

Hi everyone.. I was sleeved on the 24th as well.. Im down 27 pounds.. That includes 2 weeks pre-op.. I have been on puréed foods since Thursday and will stay on that for two weeks.. I kinda think I am having a stall.. I haven't lost in two days infact, I gained 1.5.. So, trying not to get discouraged.. However, I'm not getting all of my Protein in.. So I'm working harder on that and hopefully it will send me back to losing.. As for what I'm eating.... Soups, pudding, yogurt and Popsicles.. Ready for the next phase.. Some days are soooo hard!!!!

Had my post op appointment today (kaiser patient) and just got cleared to stage three. So the first thing I added was saltine crackers, two. Sucked and chewed until apple sauce consistency. They tasted so good. That was almost two hours ago. No problems. :) tonight I will try either eggs or thin shaved deli turkey.

Finally found a Protein I like. Via reading posts through out this website. Anyway Premium Protein chocolate shake from costco. 30g of protein, 160 cal and 11 fl oz.

dr says if I don't react well to newly added foods to stop and go back to Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes only for 24 hours. Here's to new flavors in my mouth. :)

Why would you eat saltine crackers? No nutritional value what so ever. I was told no more crackers Pasta rice bread etc.

I was wondering when someone would ask me that. Saltine crackers for taste. After Protein of course. Plus it was one of those foods that I would eat when ever I had the flu. It was easy on the stomach so I figured starting with those may help with transitioning from liquids and strained cream Soups. Not like its going to be a main part of meals just a help w transitioning.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
