I tried a bit of decaf coffee today and it was heaven. I also had a Greek yogurt this am and a teeny bit of unsweetened oatmeal less than 1/4 c dry. Everything went down fine. My one week post op is tomorrow. ?

January 7th is my date and I'm still on liquids

I was January 6th, and still only liquids until the 20th. I actually haven't been able to get much of anything protein wise down. I'm barely hitting 6-10 protein a day... I'm hoping once I start eating food, it'll be easier. I'm just tired of the shakes and my body is, too.

(I already talked to my doctor- I'm still trying every day, I just can't keep it down... probably just too sweet, honestly, and I'm sick and tired of it lol)

January 8 was my surgery, and I'm also still on liquids until the 23rd. No nausea or anything so I'm happy about that, just super ready to be able to eat something of substance (can't wait to have an egg for some reason)

This week everything I've noticed the same thing on TV, food, food, food, food and more darn food. I just come to this site and browse around until I go to sleep lately.

Yep! It's crazy! This site is definitely a big help [emoji173]

I'm glad it worked for you, just be careful introducing foods too quickly. Your stomach is still healing and there's a reason for the liquid and soft food stages.

What do you mean 6-10g a day?

One shake is usually 30g I get 3 shakes a day most days.

If you can't do shakes you should get protein water.. Protein is so so important to help your body heal inside and out...

If too sweet add more water to shake

I mean I can only get down about 1/6th of it before I can't physically swallow more, or I end up drinking half of it and throwing up a good portion of it.

Protein water won't work for me because it's whey.

My doctor is aware of it; I'll just heal a bit more slowly. I'm doing everything I can right now. My normal shake is 20g, and my body cannot handle the taste of it. We even tried bone broth soups with protein in it, but my body says no.

How is the puree stage treating you?? It's so odd the different diets each surgeon suggests... I assume they had you on one week of liquids, how long do you have to do the puree phase? I know each surgeon is different, so not judging!! Just curious! Take care!

Yay, my doctor is letting me go three days early to the soft foods stage.

He and I both think my body was just rejecting the liquid diet after so long of being on it. Apparently, it happens occasionally?

I had half a scrambled egg today and it was so so so scrumptious. ❤️

Hey y’all im new here. Sleeved 1/8. Currently on puree stage, moving on to soft/moist diet tomorrow! Im so excited but nervous. Im so ready to get into the gym. Id feel better about moving onto the next step knowing I could work out, at least the elliptical for now. Has anyone around my date started working out yet?!

I am still on the pureed stage but I feel like I am still drinking most of my calories with shakes and smoothies

I want to (sleeved 1/6), but I've been having gallbladder issues and have to go in for surgery again on Friday.

I was looking forward to food and exercise (strangely), but haven't been able to eat much at all. I went almost two weeks without ANY food because of this (don't recommend it, but I was so sick and hospitalized).
