I'm 3 weeks post op (March 18th) and am curious what everybody can and is eating right now.

eggs, cheese, peanut butter, ff refried beans with ff sr cream, protein shakes (if I could stand them), sf puddings/jellos, whole wheat toast, flat out bread, fish was added this week...I am 1 month out...I am lucky I am still experiencing no hunger or thirst..but I can't stomach the shakes (trying to get protein by food) and I struggle with the water....

I was sleeved the same day. I am on puréed. I tried eggs and had horrible chest pains. I can handle beef (taco meat, meatloaf), mashed potatoes, refried beans and such. My fave has been cottage cheese with taco seasoning.

I am 5 weeks out today and i eat ground chicken, low fat cheese, greek yogurt, tuna, fish, eggs, refried beans, PB2- i pretty much just eat protein so i won't have to drink as many shakes. My doctor's plan allows 3 meals a day that are 2 ounces at each meal and then supplement with protein shakes, milk, sf popsicles in between.

I was 4 weeks Monday. I am there with you on the shakes and water. I am trying to do the food protein instead of the liquids. I haven't been very adventurous with foods--but I'm going to have to!

4 1/2 weeks out- fish,crab meat,sardines,cottage cheese, veggies,nuts,eggs,PB,yogurt,cheese,fresh fruits. I am getting the majority of my protiens from food rather than shakes, and I feel much better now than I did a week ago.

Sleeved 3/18/13 and allowed eggs yogurt refried beans cottage cheese and sf pudding. My diet was advanced to this at my one week postop checkup. The only thing I have eaten is cottage cheese and refried beans no more than 2 oz at a time. The thought of plain eggs makes me ill which is why I have not eaten them and I can barely stomach the sicky sweet protein drinks which is why I won't eat sf pudding either. I am so exited for my 3 month postop visit because I will be given more foods to eat.

Wow 3/18 was a big day. Me too! I am not allowed any meats yet. Sunday will be a different story. Right now I am making mashed sweet potatoes sometimes mixing in some cottage cheese, eggs, creamed spinach (which left over mixed with the eggs is yummy, pastina, lentil soup home made and pureed, cream of broccoli soup, sweet potato and pear soup....

Hi. I haven't started my purée stage yet and am still on protein shakes which makes me so nauseous so I will try to get my protein through foods as well. I can't wait to start my puréed stage.. Thanks for responding.

Everything you mentioned sounds yummy. I'm a little nervous about the eggs. Lol

Thanks everybody for sharing. All of your menus are awesome and have given my great ideas. I wish you all much continued success.

Hi Michele 1024. I've noticed 3/18 was a big day for us March Sleevers. Looking forward to this journey.

Hi. Another 3/18 Sleever. Yeah!!! Thanks again for sharing.

I was 3/1 so I'm almost 6 weeks postop and can now pretty much eat anything...citrus fruits next week. I'm still scared of strawberries because of the seeds but am dying to add some to my vanilla protein shake with banana. Anyone else eating them?

Edit 3 week postop visit not 3 month. Any who my visit was today incisions look good. Blood pressure was 110/70. I have been off meds since 3 days after surgery. Down 22 lbs! I went to the grocery store after visit with nutritionist and spent $100 my eyes are definitely bigger than stomach. For dinner I had a slice of deli ham that was .6 oz with a wedge of laughing cow queso cheese spread on it which I rolled up. It was very yummy.

Had my 3 week chk up today. Down 32lbs, dr said I was ahead of the curve, put me on phase 3 diet(soft foods, no more puree) then in a week I can move to anything. I've been adding strawberries and/or blue berries to my protein shake. I find that the frozen berries work best plus usually the seeds just sink to the bottom.
