Soft foods

Oh ok, I guess your doctor decided to skip all the other stages you said you were on...

Good luck :)

I was on clear for so many day, full liquids for so many, then puréed, and now soft. Following my plan as instructed. I'm sorry but I guess everyone progresses differently.

Then my apologies... I was just going off of something you wrote a few days ago about your progression.

Good luck on your journey

I see there is a Fresco Style MexiMelt, but not sure exactly what that means, though I see the site says it is a 25% reduction in fat. If you are not ordering it Fresco Style, the nutrition information on these is not the greatest. 7 grams of saturated fat, 730 mg of sodium ... OY! And it is a soft tortilla, so the breads is basically nutritionally irrelevant while taking up so much valuable stomach real estate. Perhaps just try to eat the insides of a Fresco Style if you are in a pinch.

** Edit ***

To the OP, once you progress to solids and begin with the routine of eating lean Protein first, then you will get the expected restriction.

I order them without the salsa. I eat the remainder' date=' shell and all. It all goes down really easily. 220 calories and 14 grams of Protein. My doc told me to aim for 350 calories and 20 grams of Protein per meal. That is the closet thing I have found that I can get down.[/quote']

Just a question. Are those numbers correct? Cause that means only 23% of your calories are coming from protein? That seems incredibly low. Especially for someone recently sleeved.

Hey thank you for your replies. I thought the eggs were too much but I sat down and actually times myself as I was eating and the longer I take eating the more I take chewing the more I eat so I am able to eat two scramble eggs but I feel stuffed afterwards so I've settle for one and let's say I'm not satisfy than I'll have the whites from another. So I wanted to let u guys know also just as an experiment I went to buy a meximelt from Taco Bell I was able to eat only the chicken ( I asked for chicken instead of meat) and the Tomato inside of it I couldn't see myself eating the pita nor did it fit. I guess my sleeve is not too big after all and I think I'll stick to my turkey, Soups, eggs like I've been doing. I wouldn't want to "strech it". :D

      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!!
