Eating Habits 1 week out

[kadirkara 10]

Hey Guys,

I was sleeved Aug 22nd and was curious if everyone is following their NUT plan to the T. I'm having a hard time with the Soups and broths, and have been eating some mashed potatoes and some eggs and cheese sticks. I do chew it like a million times before swallowing , my stomach seems to be alright. I'm losing weight which is awesome (down 19lbs since Aug22nd) but I want to be sure I'm not screwing this process up.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Nicholas: I'm having trouble with the broth because it tastes different than I remembered. I used to love chicken broth. Now it tastes different. Everything tastes hot and spicy.

I was sleeved the same day as you were. Per my doctors orders, I am still doing the full liquid diet. At this point I have found a groove of Premier Protein shakes and cream Soups either with enough Protein or protein added to them. To combat the boredom, I am spending a little more money and getting "deli" quality soups like Tomato bisque, lobster bisque, broccoli cheese etc...if they are a little chunky I am running them through my bullet with a little milk. Personally, I will wait until my surgeon okays my next phase until I venture onto anything other than full liquids. Good job on your weight loss!

I'm doing the pure clear liquid diet. I'm only on Day 3, so I know I can hang on. I hung on for the Protein drinks. I'll just keep hopping on here and complaining. My incisions make it difficult to stand up and sit down. It's hard to get out of bed, but I need to pee every 30 minutes.

I had surgery on Jan 28th. Liquids for 2 wks. Then 2 weeks puréed. Then 2 wks soft. This is the miracle operation. I am living proof. As bad as it is in the first couple weeks it's not worth messing up the size of your stomach. You could stretch it. Drink!!!!! Drink pill cups worth all the time!!! You won't regret ignoring food for a while. I went from 252 to 148 in 7 months. Life changing!!!!!!
