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?

Hmm it’s possible. I have one more nutrition class on the 7th

Out of curiosity does anyone have follow ups w dieticians post op? I had one class before and 2 after that are mandatory and it sounds like mine is one of the more strict ones. An example is I’m not allowed to have scrambled eggs until one month post op! I’m 16 days post op and really want some.

I see a nutritionist every single post op appointment I have. Its part of the service with my surgeon. I'd call and ask, if you are tolerating things, they might let you! I was tolerating purees so well they advanced me to stage 3 three days early. Ive been on soft foods for two weeks now.

All Dr are different mine wouldn’t allow me to have Jello in my liquid stage , while other Dr do .Was a guy on here saying his Dr allowed him chicken Salad Day after Surgery.

When I get Home I have a Premier shake if I made my daily count of Protein I’ll have a Yasso or enlighten frozen yougurt.

Can I ask what everyone has during the purée stage ? Can u do beans ? Or turkey chili ? I guess puréed soups r ok ?

my surgeon's plan had me on full puree on day two as well. I had chicken salad pureed into a thin paste on day 2, tuna salad day 3, pureed ground beef and low fat gravy, etc. It really is true, all surgeon's plans vary. You can't go by what other people are doing, gotta follow what they give you and call them if you have questions!

That sounds great. I’m on puréed at 10 days out and gonna have refried beans with cheese tomorrow. Scrambled eggs. Baked cod, salmon, puréed roasted chicken sweet potatoes. Puréed cauliflower. All good. Watch portions. I had gastric bypass

I had the sleeve gastrectomy 2 1/2 weeks ago and trying to eat different things. The refried bean and cheese sounds really good, have to try the tomorrow. Had cream of potato soup and saltines for lunch, it was really good.
