I was eating 2 oz of plain greek yogurt mixed with sugar free jelly, low fat cottage cheese with Mrs. Dash for flavoring, baked egg fritatas and turkey chili. And I pretty much stuck to that for several weeks. Don't rush your stomach - mine was very slow to heal.

i went toxic only 4 days after my sleeve surgery...They found I had a leak and the infection was so bad that they had to operate to clean out my chest...The pain would have been so intense had I stayed awake so they decided to induce a come for a few days....A few days turned into 19 days and the rest...well.....the rest is just worse...But that is why I was in a coma!

I am on soft food stage. The 2nd week out my doctor put me on soft foods. chicken, fish, turkey, any of which can also be deli meats. I can eat grits, eggs, cooked veggies. Special K chips. fruit in juice/water. tuna. I have a large variety. I will be on soft foods for 1 more week. On my 5th week, I can incorporate everything back as long as I can tolerate.

I am on Clear Liquids for the first three weeks. This weekend I get to start pureed foods for a week, then the week after that I can start soft chopped foods.

Wow! That is awesome. How is your weight loss going? I feel like every time I eat a new or more substantial food, my progress stalls. :-/

So I have a question. Is sucking on saltine crackers bad? I do require a high sodium diet so i'm not concerned with that, just curious if sucking on food and not swallowing it, is just as bad?

Every week is getting better. Had my first official dumping tonite though. Thought it didn't happen with sleeve. Did not eat too much, just potato Soup. Not fun

      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.

      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!!
