As I roll into week 2 I get to expand my food horizons. My uncle made his famous southern style Butter Beans and I decided to give it a go. My little pouch was happy! No upsets! I decided to use a baby spoon to eat. Which helped keep the eating portions down. I ate 4 tablespoons! (Small victories) please feel free to send your favorite soft foods. I cannot wait to finally be able to have an egg tomorrow!

I have my first post op visit today and am hoping to be told I’m good to go on to puréed foods. I absolutely cannot wait to eat an egg and some refried Beans. Good to hear that your first venture into this category has gone well. That had to taste amazing coming off of full liquids.

I started off with cottage cheese and when that worked just fine I tried some yogurt. Both were OK.

I also had no problems with eating oatflakes and milk (I eat them cold) but that was last night, and this morning I feel like they’re still there... so maybe not try that again so fast, we’ll see.

I cried a little. Lol! eggs are my absolute favorite food. So I’m so excited about them. I hope they clear you!

Did you eat late? Like before bed?

No, I was careful to leave 1.5 hrs before bed. Maybe just too much texture too soon? I’ll best give it a week before I attempt it again.
Thanks for checking!

Honestly with how finicky these sleeves are it could have been anything. Glad it wasn’t painful though. I tried to eat some mashed sweet potato too soon (2 days ago) and was in so much pain. But I ate the Beans yesterday and I was fine. It changes day by day what the sleeve decides it wants to handle. So I think giving it a week will probably help. Sending you good vibes!

I lived on grits when I started pureed, just start slow I was 3 weeks out when allowed bland pureed foods. Buffalo chicken puree made me pretty uncomfortable that week.

That sounds like a plan. There’s a nyc page that I posted on a week ago but it would be nice to get the commuter crowd!

Had my appointment and they want me to wait until Tuesday to go to stage 2. I guess that’s standard for my doctor’s program. They want you on stage 1 for two weeks before going to stage 2. As much as that sucks it was kind of overshadowed by the fact that I found out I have lost 20lbs since my surgery date. I guess what I’m doing is working so it won’t kill me to wait 4 more days.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
