Yes. I've had chicken and some lunch meats so far (turkey & roast beef).

I didn't start eating real food until week 5. I focused on staying hydrated and eating Protein shakes and Soup with added Protein. After week 5 it has been protein, protein, protein, a little fat and little to no carbs. And don't forget the Water. My doctor's recommendation is to add new food once a week. If it doesn't sit well, don't force it. Try it again in a month.

So protein first - that is essential in healing, then other stuff and I would stay away from the carbs at first - while your stomach is healing.

Good luck

Hello...I'm new to the forum, and I was sleeved April 14, 2014. I have lost a total of 43 lbs but with some pretty crazy complications...I had a pretty bad reaction to my incision tape, and really haven't been able to eat but teaspoon size amounts every four or five hours. I always take my Vitamins, but it takes me almost all day to do so. I developed a kidney infection, and my allergic reaction to the tape is still clearing up....sigh....I kept thinking I am just being dramatic, but seriously, im weak and tired. My Dr is great, and his staff are extremely supportive....however, I go back to work Monday the 12th, and I travel every week for my agency. My biggest concern, ...dragging luggage through a busy airport, when I barely have the strength to make dinner for my family!...I have made Protein my priority, but seriously, can't stand the shakes!...any suggestions for my concerns?...all would be most welcome!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
