I've eaten some hummus with no problems, low fat small curd cottage cheese, cream Soups like chicken, and some baby foods that are low sugar low carb. Not much available in the baby aisle that is low sugar.

I think my system is finally through revolting over some children's tylenol and scrambled eggs that I did not puree. I need to be more patient.

Here is the recipe for Ricotta Bake (may be the same one you have above - I cannot see it). Also some other good ideas.

http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html

I ate a lot of fat free refried Beans with cheese melted on top; hummus (yes just with a spoon); Pimento cheese spread; Laughing Cow cheese wedges; sugar free pudding with 1/2 scoop Protein Powder mixed in; Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt (Key Lime and strawberry Cheesecake are my favorites) with 1/2 scoop Protein powder mixed in....

I like the refried Beans with cheese melted on top a lot. I'll do that one too. I do eat the hummus just with a spoon. Love it. I also love the Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt and I do eat those as well. The scoop of Protein powder mixed in is a great idea for upping protein! Thanks for that advice.

Hi! I got my approval for food yesterday!! I don't have to go to puréed foods, I wonder why? I can have any meats (softer the better) and a whole list of veggies and fruits no bread, no Pasta. Last night I had 2 oz of chicken and 2 tbsp steamed carrots. It was like heaven in my mouth. Hahahaha good luck to everyone getting started with food again!!

Hello Everyone, my name is Carla and today I took the first step and called for an appointment because I'm tired of making excuses, I'm tired of trying to loose weight and working so hard but not seeing a lot of results. I've been thinking about weight loss surgery for so long and today I was on Facebook and saw a friend's post about being 2 weeks post op so I sent her a message with some questions, and we went back and forth for a bit and then I made the call. She told me about this app so I downloaded it and have been reading everyone's experiences and to be honest I'm a little scared now. Reading about people feeling sick, not wanting to get out of bed and not being able to eat is freaking me out! If anyone has the time to message me back and let me know what the steps are from your first appointment on, I would really appreciate it. My appointment isn't until May 11th so I would love to get a heads up on what to expect. Congratulations to all of you and I wish you all the best on your new journeys!

I forgot to mention that I am opting to have the sleeve!

@@Daisysgro Congrats on taking your first step into WLS! Post-op from WLS can be difficult for the first few weeks - but I would bet 99% of those that have posted about not feeling well would do it again in a minute. It's not easy - you have to change your eating habits and lifestyle. Keep looking at this site - and especially some of the posts about success and before & after pictures! Write down your questions to ask your surgeon. Call your insurance and ask what steps are necessary for bariatric surgery approval? What steps after your appointment will depend on your surgeon and your insurance requirements. Many programs have you go to a group informational session, you meet with your surgeon, then most likely have a psych evaluation and a nutritionist evaluation. My insurance requires 6 months of a supervised weight loss program before they will approve (I was not thrilled about that) and I'm using that time to learn more and get some help with some emotional eating issues. Good luck on your journey!!!

I think it's great you are on this site right off the bat...you will be making a very informed decision.

My surgery is scheduled for May 24th and I'm also trying to soak in ALL the information I can.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
