I was sleeved on the 30th. I was on Clear Liquids the first 2 weeks but I added Protein Drink in..as per my dr.

This is my 3rd week and I am eating soft. Cottage cheese, scrambled eggs, baby food meat sticks, canned fruit and veggies, Jello, pudding, string cheese, laughing cow wedges...tonight i am trying fish and green Beans. I am slowly working up to eating a meal. I've been lucky enough that I had no problems so far.

Right this moment I'm eating a scrambled egg. I scrambled it with some milk, cheese and teeny tiny diced cubes of ham! it's delicious :D and for lunch I had 1/4 cup of refried Beans with some cheese mixed in.

what are you guys eating ? ill be a month post op tmrw ..

Sleeved May 28 here. I am supposed to be on soft foods right now - mostly it's chili, refried Beans, and (still) lots of Protein shakes (they're so convenient). Seem to do okay with bananas, but only a half at a time. I've also had egg salad, chicken salad, and some egg salad avocado smush (recipe that someone here posted). I made a scrambled egg the second day of soft foods and made the mistake of eating the entire egg - it hurt. Later, I tried lentil Soup and didn't stop at half a cup like I should have - it hurt worse than the egg. Sleevie Ray Vaughn also reminded me that Trisquits, no matter how well chewed, are not soft food by keeping me bent over in pain for the better part of an hour.

My surgeon said I could have tilapia so the other night at Applebees I did. I could only finish half of the tilapia but none of the veggies or the roasted potatoes.

We went to a Mexican restaurant before that and I had the inside of a soft taco (barbacoa) and about a spoonful of Beans and that's all I could handle. Forget the rice, I gave that to my wife.

I've been eating Greek yogurt, poached eggs, chicken, tuna, imitation crab meat, ricotta bake with sauce and cheese & my favorite is re-fried Beans with some cheese. I did try some green beans and they were great. Next I'm going to try some baked fish, shrimp and scallops. I can't wait to have some salad and tomatoes, but I'm going to wait another week for that.

I'm six weeks out on Thursday. I'm cleared for all foods. My NUT wants me to get away from Protein Shakes sooner than later. I do lots of chicken and fish. I've also had beef and buffalo (yummy!). Haven't had any real problems. It's just about Portion Control. After Protein I only eat veggies. My Snacks are cheese and deli meat. Getting about 70grams of protein a day.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
