Today after 2 hospital trips getting no protein barely any food in everything I ate hit my stomach like a ton of bricks and the pressure felt like it was a baby in. There no matter how pured it was so today I brought me a chicken Pattie from the. Grocery store I put Chicken gravy on it with some cheese Omg it was so good

are you saying puree hurts and solid dont?

when did u have surgery?!

its probably best if you don't eat any meat until you're 4-6 months out. Only because, you will run the risk of stretchy your sleeve and/or experience horrible constipation. And as for me, I can't have gravy or sauces on anything it makes me very nauseous, hahaha! is it the same for anyone else?!

My program allows pureed meats the 3rd week after surgery. Each program is different of course, but a chicken patty would be way too much for me to handle yet (I'm 4 1/2 weeks post).

It's TOUGH to pace myself and to limit what I try but I think that by following my surgeon's conservative guidelines, I'm setting myself up for future long-term success.

This was approved by my surgeon to add the gravy and the low fat. Cheese it was moist and I chewed religiously to mush and no meat for months I never heard of that for some odd reason everything is hitting me hard I have tried everything from mash potatoes to pursed everything I can also tolerate potato soup its hard guys but I been in the hospital twice food has become my enemy I'm trying I really am an I'm 3 weeks out

Oh I took 3 bites and was done

I have Anthem blue Cross and I'm not allowed to eat meat until my 4th month out. :/ haha, but good for you guys if you can. I mean, I take tiny itty bitty bites of small turkey ground beef and it hurts me, but I've been feeling better. and Letia, I hope you're feeling better too. I know ur recovery hasn't been amazing, but it will

I'm so glad you found something that works for you. I'm only one week out but craving meat like crazy. Your "meal" sounds really good!

Sounds gross but try mixing some baby pureed meats in with your cream soup. Hot soup felt so good in my sleeve at the beginning and it will help with protein.

That's not necessarily true. My surgeon and NUT sends patients home on puréed meat x2 weeks then soft moist meats/protein x4 weeks then any protein/meat after that. No veggies til week 9, no fruit til week 12, and no dairy til month 6. I have not had any probs with constipation. Oh, and no starches til 6 months.

Isn't it funny how diff they all are? Mine allows potato soup (in hospital) and I couldn't make it without yogurt and milk. I think bananas are allowed week 6 or so (i had to start all over with my second surgery so while I'm past week six on the first go around, I never made it to that)

I wish I could have milk or yogurt - I miss them!

They really are all so different, I was cleared to try anything at 5 weeks. (except carbonation and alcohol, 3 months on those)
