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.

I know ur recovery hasn't been amazing, but it will :D

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.< /p>

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)

      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 had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
