Yes I do and I was anxious like yourself. Now in the mushey period. This is what my nut calls it. My body has slowed down the weight loss holdng at 30 pds.I think there are a lot of reasons why I have temporarily stopped losing weight. Everybody is different.

Yes, I know how you feel! I am in the pureed/mashed food stage and this one gets old too!!! I don't think I can eat fish,tuna or eggs anymore!! I will be 4 weeks post op RNY on Tuesday! But hang in there, I take it one day at a time!! :)

I haven't had my surgery yet Chocolate but have had enough of the liquid diet pre-op and I haven't been on it that long...makes me wonder if I'll be able to do the actual diet after surgery. debby

At that stage if it wasn't for me staying with my mom and her being on me I would have just drank water. I absolutely no desire for food or to eat... That HAS changed :-)~

Oh the liquid diet... I had a mommy dearest moment over SF Jello after surgery... For some reason, my mother in law thought all I could eat was sf jello at that stage. Every day she sent over a margarine tub of sf jello, but somehow she managed to screw up the recipe so badly that it was TERRIBLE! I asked her several times not to send anymore, but she ignored the nice me. Well you all know that hormones and emotions are unpredictable as that weight is melting off... And I did a NO MORE SF JELLO! yell at her one night. OMG... She left in tears and didn't talk to me for a month... It was heaven! LOL!

My favorites in the pureed stage were tuna with a little lite mayo and pickle relish for taste blended through my ninja and fat free beans with fat free cheddar cheese and salsa also run through the blender. I couldn't tolerate eggs until month 3. They made me super sick. But now I use "real eggs" that come in carton at Costco. They come out yellow, like God intended. Egg whites just don't do it for me!

Good luck girl! Congrats on your new life!

Hang in there its almost there. I actually started my puree stage a little early i was told as long as i could tolerate it i could. In the puree stage i couldn't tolerate a pureed egg so i had done some research and found that you can take 1 egg and scramble it with a little milk (NO BUTTER) and it would make it soft enough for you to mush in mouth an go down okay.

Lisa you had the sleeve so yours might be a little different than my program was I'd have to pull the book. I couldn't tolerate tuna but did tolerate canned chicken made to chicken salad.

You are doing an amazing job. Will be anxious to hear your weight loss again. Do you see the doctor/nutritionist Monday?

Keep up the great work your doing amazing.

YESSSS I hear you girl! I am 9 days post op and I am really wishing for something I can chew and crunch on! I know this is what I signed up for but boy oh boy it ain't easy.

I'm so weird.. I've got the go ahead for pureed that I wanted so bad but I've only been drinking. I've gotten sick and let's just say I don't even want a piece of fish a say in my life.. but good luck girl Monday will be here before you know its

Oh yes! I felt that way at every stage.

me too Naisia....Hated , loathed purees, the sight made me ill.

Still on protein, water and trying a bite here and there of food.

I'd like to add. Chocalate everything pureed seems to get stuck in my throat so watch out for that. I love can chicken pureed with a little mayo as Jenniebean1 suggested but that to seems to get stuck. So take your time. Sometimes I think my pouch is so small it won't take water.

I was able to move to pureed foods this week, but I was really really tired of liquids. There just isn't enough variety to keep you happy and the desire to chew ... I think I chewed more popsicles than anything else.

Pureed I have only done refried beans and cheese. Which after liquids was the greatest meal EVER! Tonight I am trying Shelly's Baked Ricotta from the world according to eggface blog. I am excited.

I combined the pureed and soft stage with no difficulty. After a few days of pureed foods call you doc or nut to see if you can progress to soft foods? d
