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 over the purée thing too. I'm three weeks out and really eat whatever I can chew until baby food consistency. Seems to be working just fine. I even had a bit if chicken Parmesan!

Awesome, I thought I was alone with this whole pureed thing! Good to know that I don't really have to do the pureed foods! I am 4 wks out and struggling with this phase. Every time I've tried pureed meat I vomit (sorry TMI) I think I will take a different approach now! Thanks!!

Just got home from hospital last night. Very nauseous. Hard to get much of anything in. Crushing pills is gross too. The tiny bit of applesauce really doesn't help. The thought of pureed foods right now is too much. Shakes are ok but is it enough?

I hope you have a smooth recovery, and it gets better day by day! I'm officially 30 days post op, I will tell you to walk as much as you can it helps tremendously!

I was actually getting more protein when I was doing three shakes a day than I am now on puree (with one shake in the morning and puree for lunch and dinner. Usually a loose-scrambled egg, refried beans, etc). I can't do snacks right now (just not hungry and can't force myself to take in more), so I'm averaging 45 grams of protein. I was getting an easy 60 with three shakes/day. It doesn't help that I can't eat yogurt right now (count me as lactose intolerant post-surgery...although I'm fine with cheese.)
