I recently had my Gastric Sleeve Surgery on August 26, 2013 with Doctor Pete Rantis at Alexians Brothers Hospital. He did a FANTASTIC JOB!! What a Great Surgeon, I could not believe how fast my recovery was. I was walking 10,000 steps the day of surgery with minimal pain. My starting weight was 417 with a BMI of 58.2. I was diagnosed with a severe case of sleep apnea which has improved with the little weight loss to date, My current weight is 375 with a BMI of 52.3. I’m very excited with my choice so far.

I’m currently in the pureed phase about to start my soft foods. Any good recommendations for what soft foods to start on?

Hi! I had a little mac and cheese and also some egg salad on soft crackers. Also had tuna salad. For dinner, I would eat some fish and refried Beans with guacamole. Soft, but satisfying. Good luck and congratulations on your loss so far!

I also went thru the Center of Excellence but my surgeon is Dr. Paul Guske. Just so happens that after my sleeve Dr. Guske had to perform a hernia repair and emergency appendectomy on me so he and I are tight lol. Anyway, great organization. Love the Kane Center!

As far as pureed foods, I loved puree'ing turkey meatballs with some ricotta or having refried Beans with sour cream or any cream of Soup strained. I wasnt on purees for very long since I had advanced rather quickly but everyone is different.

Good luck and congrats on your sleeve!

      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?
