Sooo today im 10 days post op and I finally feel like a normal person again. I ate some egg and tuna and butternut squash and avocado for breakfast. Only about 2 or 3 teaspoons of each and it took me about an hour and a half to finish it but hey its real food and i was able to tolerate it. There is hope ! Lol now onto my protien shake and water :)

Yah jan 28th i started pureed diet. I have a magic bullet so i practically made it all into baby food. The squash i made very liquidy so its almost like Soup it goes down better. But the egg puree i made like devil eggs and whipped it. Its really good and easy on my stomach and high protien. I used cottage cheese and 1 teaspoon of fat free mayo and 12 egg yolks. The avocado the same i whipped it in my bullet and its great. I even had some cream of wheat with cinnamon and the stevia brown sugar, that was good too on my stomch. Keep in mind im only eating a few small teaspoons and im full. But my surgeon said i was good to go. One week from now i start regular soft moist foods.

My surgeon must be really conservative. 2 weeks full liquid, 2 weeks purée, 2 weeks soft, then slowly introduce solid foods

I am also eating small portions of soft puréed food. I haven't had any problems lately. The dizzy spells are gone now. Gatorade zero really helped with those. I'm 2.5weeks out. Surgery in Mexico.

Yes gatorade zero is a life saver :) glad your doing well!

Have you been getting all your Protein and liquids in? I know if I don't get all my protein and fluids in I don't loose weight. Also has your doctor released you to start walking?

I haven't seen my doctor yet. I have an appointment on Monday. I try to get 60 g of protein in a day. 2 shakes and I have been eating eggs. My blood pressure is very low. Today it was 99/69. And so I haven't been walking as I'm shaky and weak. It's very frustrating and then to top it all off I haven't lost any weight at all this week.

Hi all! I was sleeved 1/6/16. I am still on full liquids until Wednesday when I move to purée. I go back to work tomorrow and feel a bit nervous! Glad to meet you all!

So you were on full liquids for 3 weeks before pureed food? Wow thats will power! Great job! My doctor said i can start eating regular food this Thursday as long as it is soft and not dry. I have already been on pureed for one week, it was a very slow go, mostly full liquids anyways. Surgery was on the 18th. Its been great. Good luck tomorrow!
