Hello everyone!

I was approved a few days ago (after only waiting a week) and received my surgery date for December 12, 2018! I chose this date out of the few offered to me because I am currently in college and I will be able to finish up my classes prior to the surgery (which was a huge worry of mine.) It's about two weeks before my birthday too!

Anyone else scheduled out in December?

I have just tried puréed egg salad but it’s definitely allowed on the puréed stage as far as my docs guidelines.

Don’t need to purée the Egg smash with fork some things can be soft mush

I went in for my two weeks post op today and have lost 15lbs since surgery Dec 12th. Moving onto purées and I’m also hitting the road today (traveling musician). I have Soups I plan to purée, and some canned chicken to do the same. Low fat mayo, hot sauce etc. I also made a small batch of egg salad that I can keep cool in the cooler. I have these little 2oz plastic cups with lids that I plan to fill ahead of meals so I know what my portion should be. I guess it should be one or two of these right? On purées is 2-4 ounces per meal what you guys are doing? How many times a day for y’all?

At least 5 times a day filling up on ProtDrinks isn’t good 1 day is sufficient.

I’m meeting with my dietitian again in two weeks which will be around I start eating solids.

I’m really struggling today I’m 7 days post op and today I feel weak tired I don’t want to drink or eat anything. I know I have but just not feeling great today.

Come on Jersey Girl you got this! Be strong. You made it this far. I’m rooting for you!

Thanks! I’m sipping a protein shake now maybe that will help.

Darci why is more than one shake a day not good? Just curious, thanks. :). Also, you eat 4oz 5 times a day?

My dietician suggested nibbling on a low fat mozerella stick

Anyone in the purée stage try the light version of the laughing cow Swiss? Seems very creamy and low fat?

I like listening to WLS podcast; this is the last episode
