@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)

I was sleeved on9/24/12. Not sure if I'm doing good or not. Weighed in at 295 day of surgery now 275? I have lost 20lbs since surgery. My surgeon advanced me to purée to and I had baked chicken n broccoli puréed. Simply delish!

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!!!!

I was sleeved the 24th and am down 17 lbs since surgery but I've been at a stall for 3 days...very frustrating..

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.

I had mine 9/25 lost 26 lbs including pre op diet. food isn't a problem this week as I'm on the mushy stage so as long as I can purée it I eat it!!!

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.
