Yes. It's on my puree stage foods. :) I've eaten grits several times (I'm 4 weeks post op) and they were good! I added a little scrambled egg to mine too for a little Protein.< /p>

I could eat really runny grits on week 2 as a full liquid. Depends on your plan and your surgeon but I'd say you are safe :)

Ok, I was wondering about grits too, thanks for asking!! I am in week 3 right now and don't feel like I am losing weight like I should. I lost 21 lbs the first two weeks and nothing since, Oct 29 will be 3 weeks since surgery..is this normal? Am I doing something wrong...and I don't know how to start a new thread/topic/or post..can someone give me some direction? Thanks!

Wow! That is a large loss for two weeks, don't you think? How much did you expect to realistically lose?

I agree it is a lot, I'm just concerned because I'm at a zero loss for this week. Do you lose weight every week? Is it normal to not lose any weight right after surgery?

Yes, it is totally normal to not lose weight for a week. There will be stalls, this is not a linear thing. Read some of the threads before yours - this is a very common thing, so you are so not alone. Chin up - things are going well!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
