Ok, call me bad, but I hate the purée stage, and I did not do it! I found myself eating soft foods and making it mushy! I haven't had any problems so far! I get my protein in from eggs, tuna, chicken in the can type of stuff! I have been eating fresh fruit! I bought the unflavored protein powder and sprinkle it on my food and the weight is still coming off! I just feel tired easily and it makes it hard to exercise! I was sleeved on May 7, sw was 271, cw is 247! That's how I know it's different strokes for different folks!

I'm right there with you sister! May 7 (as you know) started at 253 and I'm at 226!!

And I thought I was weird I'm glad to see my fellow May 7 sleevers are having the same things I do. I like my soft foods my tuna, my scrambled eggs with mushrooms according to my doc it's fine. What I'm having trouble with is Acid reflux and getting my water in.

I grilled zucchini last night and diced some up with my egg this morning and added some crab meat and like a tsp of smoked mozzarella. YUM!!!

I hear ya! My doc actually has more of a soft foods phase more than puree right after the 1 - 2 days liquid phase. I'm losing a lot of weight so I'm good with my doc's advice. I knew eating puree would be very hard for me. I'm a texture gal.

So ur doctor had u on a 1-2 day liquid diet then went straight to soft foods?

My dr had my first 2 days a clear liquid diet an then days 3-14 a full liquid diet. Then puréed for 2 weeks then soft foods.

Yup! We couldn't leave the hospital until we ate a few bites of pureed tuna or cream of chicken Soup. I wanted to go home, and I'll admit it was hard to get that down, but there was no specific amount required - just enough for the nurse to document that a few bites were taken. Mind you, we do the stomach test the morning after surgery. Then we have to get a few sips of liquid. Then we go to puree/soft foods. Then we go home! He said there's no proven reason to stay on liquids and kind of chuckles about it.

Wow.. What dr did u use? As of now I'm still ok with the liquids only, due to I'm not even able to get the minimum I need of that in. How are u all getting ur fluids in an protein?

I am 5 days post op today and I think I have gotten 8 oz of water in.. It is really hard.
