I am supposed to move to purée on Monday. Today I had two ounces egg salad for one feeding.....I also had two ounces of mashed potato for another. Mashed potatoes I couldn't even finish two ounces and I added my Protein, but I highly doubt it is very good for me. Tomorrow I am going to scrambled eggs......I also took maybe two or three bites of a piece of lunch meat. Weirdly the lunch meat went down and tasted the best.

I ate tilapia today and my sleeve was certainly not ready! I was at work and my stomach started cramping and I excused myself to the ladies room to vomit! (Sorry tmi) ..I do think it may have been that I didnt chew well enough or ate too fast!..Im still adjusting, either way myself, my sleeve, or both was just not ready for that!...I will go back to my pureed sweet potatoes tomorrow! !:)

That is my fear. I was too scared to eat the whole egg for fear of not knowing my limits. It's weird bc I can tell when I'm full on broths and shakes but not sure what will happen on purée. I think it's bc I get mushies and purée confused. The concept is weird, yogurt is full liquids and egg is purée and not mushie? And everyone's diet is different. Just frustrating.

My doctor eventually just said to me that whatever you do introduce one at a time and see what happens. The stages are there for a purpose but if your stomach can take an egg do it!

I find it frustrating at times also. I always fear im failing at this. Im always worried am I drinking too much, or too fast, am I stretching out my lil sleeve already...this is not the first time I feel I've pushed my limits im trying to learn to listen to my body but all this is still very new and its definitely an adjustment...I dont want to mess up!!

I feel the same way because both Water and the puréed stage foods almost feel like they are going down too well. Calorie intake is averaging about 600 per day. I always wonder if I am stretching my sleeve. I wonder if I will be the only only who a sleeve won't work on and I won't lose weight. Crazy thoughts I guess!

I'm transitioning onto purees this weekend. I had a soft boiled egg. Then for fun, I made the ricotta bake. That was a wonderful lunch. I could only eat about 2-3 ounces. I'm still trying to get the 80g of Protein in. (Not fond of shakes) but on the other hand, liquids are much easier. I drink a lot of low calorie gatorade. (G2)

I'm going to the market tomorrow (Sunday) to get some things like baby food, hummus and things to puree.

This is such an exciting adventure that we are all on!! Good luck for anyone who needs to return back to work Monday.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
