I was sleeved May 6, and I move to the puree phase this evening. I had some (really delicious!) mashed potatoes. I'm nervous, though, because they didn't make me full. Maybe I just didn't let it get to that point? I was able to eat more than I thought I would and I'm a little scared now. I did get a sense of fullness on full liquids. Any insight? I'd really like for my sleeve to tell me that I'm filling up.

perhaps the potatoes are a slider food for you. My NUT recommended adding unflavored Protein Powder to the potatoes. That might help you feel some fullness, otherwise, maybe try something else a bit more nutritious, like yogurt, or cottage cheese.< /p>

It took me a while to realize that I did not have to fill stuffed to be full.I am three months out and now my stomach tells me before I am stuffed, it gives a big noise when it is satisfied and when I am super stuffed, I hiccup three times and my nose will start to run just a little. You have to learn to listen to your body and it will just take time.

Thanks! I know I still have a lot to learn as I'm only 2 weeks out. I'll just have to be careful!

I'm 11 days out. I haven't eaten mashed potatoes but I imagine they wouldn't make me full either. I have been enjoying hard boiled eggs. A half of one fills me up. And hummus has been great too!

hello...

wow.. we were sleeve on the SAME DAY!!.. i havent tried anything pureed yet, but this evening i did try a steamed piece of tilapia and it was extremely to eat and was actually good.. even though it took me 2 hours to eat 4oz fish, I did take my time and chewed very slowly.

during this process, the most important thing that I am learning is to "listen to my body".. I didnt understand it at first, but with each day im learning so much more...

another filling food is the dannon "okios" greek yogurt.. its very very good...

i wish you continued success on this journey.. each day is a learning process for you (and me) but the end results will be WORTH IT... :-)

I like the Dannon as well, but not the 100 calorie version it has a weird after taste. I also ate a lot of baked Beans in the puree stage those seemed to go down well. I mushed them instead of pureeing them, the texture of the Beans has a lot to do with the taste. I pureed chili in a blender once it was awful.

      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.
