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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
