I'll have to try gravy. I have been using mayo.< br>



I bought a small jar of gravy just for that purpose. Nothing fancy. I hope it makes it easier for you. [emoji4]

BBQ Sauce sounds good. I'll have to look for that. Thank you for the ideas. I wish I ate fish but I don't.

I found a low carb, sugar free BBQ Sauce (dg Hughes) and put it in a crockpot all day with chicken breast. By the end of the day it was soooo soft. Put in the processor to purée. Was delicious, high Protein, low carb and filling.

That sounds amazing! I'll have to find this BBQ sauce. Thank you!

You're so right! Even pre-op diets have varied! My pre-op wasn't all liquid like some others. It's too bad you're lactose intolerant. Have you asked your doctor if there's anything like a supplement you can take to make dairy more tolerable? If not, no worries. I'm sure they've given you plenty of other options. I'm personally looking forward to pureed foods starting Tuesday because I made Eggface's ricotta bake and froze it. I just hope I can tolerate it. That and scrambled eggs. I've heard so many haven't tolerated scrambled very well but they can do other forms of egg. I wonder why that is?

Not sure how much truth there is to this but my nut said that many don't do well with scrambled eggs. She said she thinks it has to do with the scrambling part and possibly putting too much air into the eggs and that doesn't sit well in the new pouch. I do hard boil and over medium and that sits just fine. [emoji846]

I could see that, the air in scrambled eggs. Maybe that's why in my instructions it says to scramble them as usual and then purée them before eating. I wonder if people are just eating them business as usual.

I love eggs thank goodness. I make scrambled eggs with lactose free cottage cheese every morning. I'm so happy I tolerated them. I also like them hard boiled and mashed with light mayo.

I find pureed food disgusting. I tried it a few times and gave up. I went with refried Beans, mashed potatoes and some cream Soup from the barattic pal store. Filled in the rest with Protein drinks.< br>

Funny...I didn't like refried beans pre-op. I bought a can just in case my tastes have changed. We'll see on Tuesday when I switch to pureed foods. Just might be my new favorite thing. [emoji4]

Ugh man I hope I can tolerate scrambled! I love eggs that way! If not, I'll try other ways but it won't be the same.

I'm also looking forward to trying mashed cauliflower. I think the one I bought is the Green Giant brand. I also can't wait to try the ricotta bake. I pre-made it and froze it last week.

I was sleeved 3/15 and I scramble them English style. Use a small saucepan and spray non stick olive oil. Crack egg in saucepan then put stovetop on medium. Constantly stir and when it gets thicker take off heat (constantly stirring) for about 5-10 seconds. Keep doing that until the eggs are soft. I have been eating them since I started purée on Wednesday and haven't had any issues. It's my favorite thing to eat!!! Good luck- let me know if it works for you!

My surgeon says Ricotta Bake is more soft foods so I still have 1 1/2 week for that. Can't wait!!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
