Hi how's every doing? I was sleeved on the 11th May, loss so far 19lbs! Have another two weeks on a liquid diet and need some ideas to get me through to the puréed stage. I've tried the odd mouthful of mash and spaghetti hoops but I really don't want to push myself too far! Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Managing to hit Protein and Water goals by adding Protein Shots to SF Apple squash so not hungry just bored of the limited choices :-(

I have been eating cottage cheese with puréed pineapple chunks or peaches. Hot oat bran farina like Cereal. White fish baked in orange juice. Mashed potatoe. A ricotta bake recipe from [http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/?m=1]. The eggface site has other good ideas.

I was sleeved May 10th. Down 29 pound including preop. Lots of walking and tracking my food. Getting about 60g protien daily. nectar protien drinks are awesome- grape or lemonade!

I was sleeved 5/10. I'm down 21 pounds including the 1 week pre-op diet. SW 250 CW 229. Weight loss has been stalled for about 10 days.

Everything has gone very smoothly. I'm still hungry at times though. Anyone else waking up during the night hungry?

Per doctors orders I'm drinking 2 Protein shakes a day plus four "meals" a day. The foods allowed right now are Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, 2% cheese and nut butter. I can also have no more than 2oz of oatmeal, grits, mashed potatoes or saltine crackers each day which I try to avoid. I usually get in about 110 grams of Protein and about 1000 calories. Seems like a lot but I handle it well.

Walking 30 minutes a day.

Tomorrow it will be 3 weeks since my surgery. Anyone else feel weak / tired after they eat ( or have s Protein shake)? I go back to work tomorrow and hope I can handle not having these naps after I eat!

@@jackiery, ah yes the burping! Anything that goes into my mouth food or liquid is followed by a symphony of Homer Simpson style burping! I repulse myself but I'm also embracing it....if I go out in public I never leave the house without my Gas X strips. I have Gas X in many forms all over the house and in every purse or car[emoji40]

Hi guys! I'm dealing with horrible constipation! I take 2 stool softeners a day, and just recently added Muralax. Anyone else experiencing this, or still taking stool softener after 3 weeks?

I have the same issue. I probably still do but I have started taking two tablespoons of Milk of Magnesia every couple of days and that seems to be doing the trick. its miserable so good luck. I hope that helps.

      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.

      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!!
