Anyone scheduled for sleeve in late Dec? Mine is on Dec 26, and I’d love to be in touch with others going through it with me.

Yep. Weird, isn't it? You may as well tell me I can eat a tablespoon of ketchup.

Lol! It is a little strange, but at this point, I’d go for a spoon of ketchup if it would go down easily! Lol!

I tried FF string cheese a few hours ago and it went ok. I’m really hoping I can cobble together 30g of protein through other sources (eggs, cheese, baby food] so that I only have to drink one protein shake a day!

So I'm day 7 post op, dying to have some real food. Tried scramble egg made very soft, 2 small nibble bites , was bend over in pain because of gas or something [emoji15]
Tried hummus, 1-2 tsp that storks fine if u take 15 minutes to finish that.
Today tried mashed potato, no issues with it but felt guilty because of carbs[emoji853]
Tried baby food .. goes well but yucksss . So far I try to take 2 shakes a day ( mostly finish 1 and 1/2 ) 1 Greek yogurt small cup and a cup or may be 2 ( total 8oz ) of homemade chicken broth .
Any one has stage 2 post op diet to share?
HW=255 SW=230 CW=216.4

I am on Stage 2 as well.. 7 days out

very small bites, 1 oz of Greek yogurt.

couple bites of egg..

I tried a protein shake, 2 oz and I was too full.

No nausea or up chucking but just can’t finish anything..

20oz of water so far..

Anybody else feeling so full all the time???

My NUT said FF String Cheese was ok. I guess bc its soft? Yeah, I know its not really pureed. I started a thread just for ideas and tips on pureed food. Maybe that'll help us all!

fat free? I call bullshit - if you're at pureed, I don't think that fat will hurt you (weight loss wise). Plus, there's pretty credible research out there (that I'm too lazy to look up and link to) that full fat dairy products are much healthier for you than fat free/low fat.

Yes, per my nutritionist, all of my dairy at the puréed stage has to be nonfat, though I am allowed to drink 1% milk.

I'm not trying to be a bad influence - as all others qualify, follow your doctor's/nutritionist's advice. Mine had a worksheet that liste suggested foods, and 'foods that MAY cause distress'. Full fat dairy was listed the may cause distress box for my pureed stage. I risked it, and it didn't bother me. Everyone is different. Stay strong.

I didn’t get a list. That was just a suggestion. I’m usually good with dairy. Not lactose intolerant or anything. That wasn’t the first string cheese that I’d eaten that I puked up. Idk what the deal was. I had some puréed chicken salad that made my tummy go crazy, too. Puréed beef veggie soup with soggy crackers was fine. It’s a learning experience.

These posts worry me a little. I’m 8 days out and I can gulp water, feel little restriction and there hasn’t been a single food that has caused me any problems. The only effect from the surgery that I feel is lack of hunger. This may sound great to you if you are having difficulties, but I wonder if this surgery may not work for me. Is that possible? I have not eaten much and have been pretty good on my diet, so I’m good so far, but...

How all of you doing this week? I went thru h*ll with medication allergies after surgery and then became severely dehydrated. Now I'm starving and ate solid foods. Needless to say im sad and worried. Anyone else?

WOW! I'm not very full and have found i can eat anything. I wonder if that's a sign of leaky gut. ?? Anyone?

I would also think that full fat foods in general would increase the chances of getting gallstones.

The surgery will work for u just fine as long as u think positive, stick to ur goals and don’t over eat. The sleeve isn’t so that certain foods will make u sick so u don’t eat them. That’s more like gastric bypass where u have no stomach acids to break down food that travel straight to ur intestines. The sleeve is a restrictive surgery meaning restriction from the amount of food u can consume in one sitting. I’m 10 days out and I haven’t had one food make me sick and I can gulp water too. But I can feel when I’m full or getting there and I’m not hungry between meals like I used to be. U have to look at it in a positive light. The goal is not to be sick from eating certain kinds of food. It’s to eat what U like just in strict moderation. Granted u may not be able to tolerate certain foods as u used to. For instance beef, it takes a long time to digest period so it could make u feel very heavy, bloated & fuller quicker verses eating ground turkey. It’s softer and lighter and more easily digestible so u may be able to eat a little more turkey than u would beef, if that makes sense. Doesn’t necessarily mean ur gonna go throw it up or experience dumping.
