I'm gonna try the Cheerios that sounds yummy and should be soft enough to eat. Im excited a new thing to eat.

I can't tolerate chicken' date=' mash potatoes, sweet potatoes,yet hope to be able pretty soon. I love fish but so much I can eat of that.

I tried meatballs it was ok and I ate a little bit of mushy rice to see if it goes down and it did well.

Flat bread!! Love it I guess with hummus would be a good snack :-)[/quote']

Cheerios were yummy and when you chew them, they end up being mush anyways! Oh yes! Hummus is SO yummy! I made some bean dip as well and that was yummy, too and good source of protein! I haven't tried meatballs yet and have done fine with tuna, but haven't tried any others. I am NOT a fan of baked fish, so I may just have tuna. Haha! I also hate sweet taters, so never tried those, but was excited when I got to have squash, carrots, green Beans, and asparagus tips! It is sad how excited I would get over going to next phases! LoL!!!

Sleeved June 26th.

HW: 470

SW: 443

CW: 413

Can eat almost anything, but certain foods go down slower and uncomfortable. Lots of Soups, Cereal, tuna, eggs. Still like to blend things like tuna and eggs, goes down better. Like Protein shakes, but only with unflavoured Protein powder, as all the rest i've tried seem too sweet. Rice cakes are great, but too many carbs so just as a treat.

Except for 1 week on full liquids, I lose 1-2 lbs per week. Been on soft foods since July 1st - nothing bothers my sleeve. Never thrown up. Work out at gym with treadmill and weights. This rate of loss will help me process the physical and mental changes well, hopefully!

When I did the sf pudding' date=' I put one scoop of the Protein powder in. One scoop is only 10 grams of protein. I guess I could had put more, but was a fraid of tasting the powder. I can't stand the smell of it. Good luck.[/quote']

Hi I was sleeved on 6/24 and I thought about ways to get in adequate amounts of protein. I did protein in the sf pudding and mixed it really well and put them In 1/4 cup containers and froze them they are delicious. Lol it really took a half hour to eat too. Good luck

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
