How much can you eat? 18 days out and can only get in about 2 teaspoons of mushies. Is anyone else getting in much more than that?

I am 11/2 and I can do 1/2 cup of cottage cheese and soups but less of things like chicken or seafood mushed up. I can actually do a whole 11 oz protein shake if I try in about an hour or sometimes less but couldn't do that much with anything but protein shakes or soup. Any thing thicker is about 1/3 to half cup 5-6 times a day

Wow......that's so much more than I can get in. Fear of throwing up stops me from pushing it a little further.

I was 31st. But my diet says i can't have puréed till the three week point. Which is Wednesday so ill let you know!

I was sleeved on 10/31 and it depends on what I'm eating as to how much I can get down. I can get a full premier protein shake down with no problem, about 3/4 scrambled egg, about two teaspoons of chicken or tuna salad, a snack cup of apple sauce and about 1/2 a chicken thigh. Definitely learning that small bites are better. If I hurry through it....it's coming right back up. I'm down 23 pounds so I have no complaints.

Hi! I was Nov 1 and what works for me is eggs. I scramble it to pieces ... Lots of protein in eggs too! Egg drop soup is good too. I also just tried mash potatoes - they r " heavy" so only two teaspoons or so I have. Was suppose to wait till end of week 3. , but I tried earlier.

I was sleeved on 10/31 and can't have anything but liquids for three weeks (can't wait until Wednesday)!

I've been getting in about 500 calories and pretty close to 60 grams of Protein each day. I'm relying on protein shakes and unjury chicken soup. Pretty boring, but its working. I lost 13 lbs in the 3 weeks of my pre-op diet and have lost 14 lbs since surgery.

I can't drink a whole shake at a time though, I have to have at least a couple hours in between.

Thanks everybody. I guess I"m on track. I was sleeved on 10/31 with no complications and no pain. I was put on full liquids 6 days post op. And I'm on puree now. I had refried beans tonight (a little under 2 oz.) And I was satisfied.

Your starting weight was 204? Wow

I was sleeved 10/29. I'm not having any problems, am on mushies. Can do about half a cup of food at a time. Sometimes I feel like I'm eating to much? I don't get a full feeling, I haven't felt sick at all. I use my little containers and just stop after that is gone....
