  • My date is also March 18th. I live in Newport Beach, Ca. I wish you all lots of luck. This pre surgery diet is for the birds.

    My Dr. doesn't have a target weight - he wants me to eat a low fat/carb high protein so my liver will shrink so it will be easier to do the surgery. Also so I can find out what kind of high protein f

I had my surgery on March 18th. I did really well the first week' date=' but this past week I have had alot of nausea and not getting

my protein and water in. I am sooooo sick of the protein shakes. They are too sweet and it makes me want to gag. I did better yesterday and hopefully I will do ok by the end of today.

What are the rest of you that had surgery on the 18th allowed to eat now?[/quote']

As of tomorrow I am allowed cottage cheese, beans, soft cheeses, Greek yogurt, eggs, egg beaters, ground turkey, ground chicken, puréed or mashed soft fruit, hot cereal, soft cooked vegetables with the skin removed. This is for the next 3 weeks! I have to say I will be having other soft puréed foods high on protein if I tolerate them.

I'm on my way to the doctor my first post op appt since surgery 14 days ago. I haven't step on the scale but once at the supermarket at about 6 day post op. I can't wait to see how much weight I have lost.

This week is soft foods like cottage c cheese and Greek yogurts. I tried pureed tuna but it came right back up and I measured. I'm pretty sure out was the tuna. I sometimes had problems with out before. So I'm going to hold off on meats for a week and try again later. I get more protein out of the yogurt anyway.

Just had my 2 week post op- still on liquids (along with cottage cheese & yogurt) for another week- then finally puréed. Ugh. I was so hoping to move up today :( went from 228 to 205 so that's a plus!

How is everyone doing? It has been a month! How time flies...I've officially kissed 30 lbs goodbye. :) I am doing cardio now. Zumba is really fun! Is any body else working out? What are you doing? Brag a little...if not here...where?

I was on the 19 and 29 lbs down with pre op. 24 since surgery

I am down 30lbs- officially under 200 (198). Looking forward to starting Zumba this week. I have been doing treadmill almost daily. Was on a 2.5 week stall- but it's broke... FINALLY!

I'm down 33 Lbs 30 the first two weeks 3 lbs the last two weeks. It's coming off!! Yay! Not exercising yet I walk a lot at work just don't have the energy to exercise on this few of calories!

217/218 on surgery day. 201 today. I had a stall from about 1.5 weeks to last week when I finally got my very late cycle. So not as fast as the rest of you but lost about15-16lbs on the pre-op so overall about 32lbs down since 3/4/13.

Hi everyone! I was sleeved 3/18, down 26lbs n 15 pre-op. I'm still of puree foods such as cottage cheese, eggs, pureed beans, tilapia n tuna. Thank God I haven't had any complications. I'm excercising 3-4 times a week. Mostly cardio :)

Do you know how often these stalls happen? Sounds like it happens a lot. I stalled for about a week. I don't think I was eating enough because I never got hungry. I still don't get hungry but I know if I don't eat the weight won't come off. That is what happens for me at least... You are doing great btw slow and steady always wins the race. :)

Sounds like you are doing great. I too can only eat fish and soft foods with no oil. Oil makes me so nauseated. I stick to baking or boiling my chicken or fish. Grilled meat is still to tough for me.
