Thought we could all convene here after our Feb sx so we could stay in touch....

NSV for me today. My daughter had been at a camping trip over the weekend. When I went to pick her up, I was walking toward her from the car and she looked at me and said, "you're getting skinny mom!". I haven't heard those works ever : ) it was really nice. I was 221 pre-surgery. Day of surgery I was 200. I had surgery 2/25 and I am now 173.5. It feels really good.

Omg I got sleeved 7 days ago and at 1st it was fine now I am starting to feel bad off and on. I think it's because I drink more than eat. Any ideas on what I can eat? The nurse at the office that did my surgery said I can eat anything that can be sucked through a straw as long as I don't have to chew?

Thinned out Greek yogurt or thinned out cream of wheat with some protein powder; pureed soup; pureed, thinned out chili....

Greek is best and plain but any sf will work

Tomato/v8 juice

Ape sauce

Thanks so much I will try that.

I would stay away from tomato, too much acid. I tried it about a week out and was sorry.

Pudding, yogurt, etc are great. I made my own cream of potato soup and added protein powder. I just boiled a potato in chicken broth until super soft. I pureed this, added cheese and milk. I then added the chicken flavored protein powder and it was yummy! One potato would make about 4 meals for me at that point.

Most Dr's say no straws. I was told to use a straw because of getting too much air through normal sipping. It worked for me, but not everyone.

Thanks so much. I've really been having a hard time the past couple of days. Any info would help. Again thanks

Can I thin the cream of wheat out with skim milk?

yes, you can use skim milk. This is also good because it gives you protein. I was also able to eat oatmeal that was thinned. I added some sugar free jelly to give it good flavor
