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 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.

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....

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
