Tried my first go at the purée on Friday, now I'm past the 2 week liquid diet ,and had the worst night if my life! Had such terrible heart burn and cramps and couldn't sleep one wink! All I has was puréed chicken and red kidneys beans... I'm back on liquids coz I'm scared to get a repeat experience.... Does anyone know if I was meant to start on puréed veggies first then work my way up to meat??

Oh thanks for that. I will use that as my guide also. Got my post surgery appointment on Thursday so I will also ask if they have a detailed listing like that coz it would definitely be very helpful.... Or I will have to keep asking you for pics of the stages you are on...

No problem!! I'll share any information I have

Brittnielynn, I was sleeved by Dr Avara on 4/9. How did you do with your liquids in the beginning? I finally got in one whole shake yesterday but still can't get in my water.

It was very hard coz I felt like drinking gave me nausea even from just one sip so I had to ask the nurses to keep giving me anti nausea meds top ups. By the time I got home it had settled down a bit but was still hard. For me I found drinking ice cold water was easier than tap warm water. And the shakes could take anywhere from 1-3 hours to finish....

They told me to get chewable vitamins and dissolvable (under the tongue) B12.

I found some protein ice... It's kind of like koolaide but has like 49 grams if protein in a 20 oz bottle! I like it better than the shakes... I am getting sleeved next week.. Can't wait!! Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I have a question for folks on this thread if I may.

I am on week 2 and am eating puréed foods is that bad that I can tolerate these?? I worry because I can also eat shaved deli meats (though I have only had about 5 pieces)

My Dr says stick to the green book "Make every bite count" but find the liquids boring as heck.

Is this normal or am I setting myself up for failure?

I would say try to stick to the recommended diet as best you can but I too cheated once or twice. Being able to tolerate it doesn't mean it won't do your new stomach any harm. Plus you could try switching up the range of liquids you are having. By week 2 u are atleast on nourishing liquids not just clear so try different shakes/ flavours or different brands and see how u go. I really like the Optifast strawberry flavour and even though I am now allowed purée I still have one of those per day... Atleast till I finish the box I bought:)
