So I was sleeved on 31st March and for 2 weeks now I've struggled with the liquid diet coz It wasn't very satisfying and it didn't feel like I was eating anything filling.... I also kept over filling myself with the liquid coz I'm still trying to learn when to stop but feel like my body gives me mixed signals.... Only time I realise iv had too much is when the pain and discomfort starts. But atleast Iv lost 7kgs/15 pounds and love that aspect but it's very hard being on a liquid diet when everyone else in the house is still eating normal and delicious smelling food:) anyway just sharing my experience and hoping it will get easier as I progress to each next stage. Tomorrow I get to start on purée so yay!

Yes, for me the first month was.tough , however it gets easier with time. Just hang in there.. In about 6 weeks u will be having healthy, nutritious meals.

Thanks Carlotta. Tried my first go and purée and had the worst night if my life! Had such terrible heart burn and cramp and all I has was puréed chicken and red kidneys beans... Maybe I need to just start on puréed veggies first then work my way up to meat....

I was sleeved April 2nd I do not go on soft diet for another week per my doctor 3 weeks of liquid man I want something filling tired of liquids 9 days left. Maybe tried puréed to soon! I hope u r better tomorrow !

Yeah my hubby keeps telling me maybe I started the purée too early, but I'm going based on the advice of my dietician and I am sick to death of Resolve, Resource Chicken broth and jelly.... At least Optifast tastes nice- just the strawberry flavour though lol

In my full liquid stage I was adding powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury unflavored Protein powder and eating chicken broth, beef broth, tortilla Soup base, hot and sour soup base, every cream soup. I could find ( asparagus, shrimp, leek, tomato, chicken, mushroom, potato to, etc.). The cream Soups I diluted and strained. I also used PB2, Mio and other flavored Water drops to mix up the flavors of my Protein shakes....dreamsicle, grape, banana chocolate, Peanut Butter, cherry, sour apple, etc.

When I started puree's, Greek yogurt, refried Beans, cottage cheese, puréed tuna salad, scrambled eggs, hummus, and puréed split pea and bean soups were some of my staples.

Thanks for the responses. I'm onto purée now but funnily enough am still swapping one main meal for a liquid option. Gotta finish all these shakes and soups so they don't get wasted:)

At 4 months I still have at least one protein shake/ day sometimes even 2. I can eat anything I want, but I can eat so little before I'm stuffed, I wouldn't come close to my protein requirements without it. As for soup...well, I just like soup!
