I wouldn't have raw broccoli. What stage are you on?

Meant to say i was sleeved on September 13th! I'm on stage 4, thick purees.... i agree, i shouldn't have broccoli just yet... i was at work earlier watching a coworker munch on it and thought i'd ask... any good meal suggestions, @@KristenLe?

Hi, I was sleeved on 09.15 I am in soft/mushy food phase I. I am allowed to have broccoli but it has to be cooked and eat only the florets... I tried a couple of days ago, and it went fine... so far so good. I hope you are doing well

I'm right there with ya...sleeved on 9/12 and weighed in yesterday with no loss from prior week. Trying not to let it get to me too much.

I was sleeved 9/12 as well and no change in weight for 9 days. The week before that I only lost one lbs so I'm double irked. As for the broccoli question I have eaten it, it just has to be cooked down. I'm pretty much eating normally now but I have not tried salads yet.

So clearly I'm not abnormal I was sleeved on 9/14 and I also stalled. Makes me feel a bit better

I was the 13th. Why not make broccoli soup. I know it's not crunchy but the smell and taste might take the edge off. You could add unflavired protein too

I had my surgery on 9/13. I am on week 3 of 5 of full liquid Protein. I eat a lot of yogurt and don't mind the shakes. I can't have any food until after week 5. So far I'm doing ok. Going to gym a few times a week .

Hey, sorry it took me so long to reply. Well, about protein, I really struggle to meet my goal, because I hate the rtd milkshakes. I am tired of them, all the vanilla flavor taste too sweet for me now and I can't stand it. I eat a lot of Beans Soup (red kidney, split peas), however, since I don't eat that much, I don't really get a lot of protein from it. I eat also chicken that was cooked with soup because it keeps it moisted and the nurse practitioner advised me to eat it that way... I eat scramble eggs with cheese and milk. Also, I drink close to one cup of milk, for some reason, I enjoy it cold and in the morning, specially after taking my Multivitamin. I am buying a milk from kroger called carb master and has 11 grams of protein... also I eat half of a low fat cheese stick, like sharp cheddar. All these were tips that the nurse practitioner gave me during my 2 week post op. Next Thursday I will see her again for my 4 weeks post op. I hope the info was helpful.

I have that cookbook coming. Does food taste good to you all? I eat but nothing ever tastes good. My eggs are barely ok. Same for the ricotta bake. I don't mind the portion size or the health aspect, but I would like food to taste good.
