4 weeks out, tried some regular food



Recommended Posts

I have been on the mushy stage for about 2 weeks so today I tried some regular food. Here's what I had and how it went:

~1-1.5 oz roasted chicken

2 maybe three green beens

a very small portion of green salad

about 4 small slices of roasted potato

A couple hours earlier I had about a cup of guacamole, no chips

It went quite well, but I was not able to eat much all, which is fine. I mean that's the point, right? I had no issues with anything. I didn't eat till I was full, I ate until I was satisfied. I get a very slight pressure sensation in my esophogus when I've had enough. I pay attention to it and stop.

Just wanted to share this with you all, especially those who are new. There is life on the other side of the liquid/mushy stages. Stick with to and you'll get there

Cheers

@@Bruce Peter You are so lucky! I'm still on Clear liquids and dreaming of anything, even blended mushy foods at this point.

Congrats!

Solids at 4 weeks seems pretty early, but I guess every plan is different. I'm pretty impressed you got veggies in there already. I'm over 6 months out and still can't figure out how to get veggies in without sacrificing Protein.< /p>

I didn't get much veggie matter in. Two Beans and about 2 TBSP of green salad. Avacado is a mushy food.

I was able to move into soft foods as well in weeks 4 to 6. Although when I have a lean Protein like chicken I try to eat 3 to 4 ounces. Depending on what else I'm having with it. I'm not able to eat salads until the next phase only soft veggies

I am seven months post op and at goal. We had baked chicken last night and I can still only eat two ounces. Which I think is a good thing. However..... I was at goal 9 pounds ago. I am trying to figure out how to eat enough to stop losing without over eating or eating the wrong things.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
