Hi everyone!! This is my first post & I'm looking for October surgery buddies. I'm very excited about the surgery. I've gotten my psych clearance, scheduled my sleep study, nutrition classes and upper endoscopy. My date is October 14th. Btw, anyone here from Jersey? Look forward to making friends w everyone!

Today was my first day of pureed foods. I had Taco Bell Pintos n cheese and it was awesome eating food. Tonight I had some light yogurt. I didn't get all my Protein in because I ate the small amount of food instead of my Protein shakes. I'll have to figure that out. So far, so good on my new tummy. Tomorrow morning, scrambled eggs.

@@KarenF1972 If it persist , then you might want to talk to your doctor. Otherwise maybe just chalk it up to natural healing. We did just put our bodies through a lot.

Chelle, I totally agree :-)

Susan, welcome to soft and puree :-)

Karen, my doc said I might get a sharp pain in that incision area from time to time due to deep layers of repair. But do call your doc if you are worried. We paid them well :-)

​So my Dr told me to do the transition this week and do full liquids in the morning and purees in the evening. Now I would follow it to a T, if it wasn't for the fact Protein shakes are making me very very sick.

So I'm sitting here .. for some unknown reason.. scared to go cook me an egg lol

Such a weird feeling LOL

Chellede, if it makes you feel any better, I can go right to "soft foods", including eggs on Thursday! I would go for it, if I were you, especially since the protein drinks are making you sick! Just an FYI though, eggs make a lot of sleeved people sick. My mom still can't eat eggs almost two years later!

Chelled

cook that scrambled egg woman :-) just eat it slowly, I was only able to eat about 3/4 of an egg the first two times but tuna was much easier. Enjoy!

Hey all! It's been 7 days since my surgery (if you count surgery day as day one) and I'm doing great! I'm down 5.6 lbs since my surgery and am super happy with that! I'm honestly surprised how good I feel at this point. I have no pain to speak of and I have no problem getting my protein in every day.

Tomorrow I get to start on full liquids and I'm excited to have yogurt! I'm getting sick of sweet but have been adding protein to my broths. The shakes aren't bad at this point but I'm looking forward to not having to drink them anymore.

Has anyone tried Kefir? If so, what kind did you buy and what did you mix it with? Or did you just drink it plain?

That was the most awesome scrambled egg ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg yum yum !

I'm totally eating one on Thursday!

@@trvlgrl I haven't tried Kefer. Sorry !

Chellede, had my first scrambled egg with cheese on Monday. It was unbelievable!

Kim, that's exactly what I did. A scrambled egg, tiny amount of cheese, touch of ketchup, and touch of pepper.

Trvlgrl, I tried kefir prior to surgery and it was just a liquid greek yogurt. It was ok. I had strawberry. It can be high in calories.

Chellede, glad the egg worked out. Were you able to it all of it?

Sure whish I could have an egg or even a half of egg. lol You guys are making me hungry. 17 days until I move to the next stage which I believe is soft and puree foods. I have a very strict dr.
