hi kristen i am only 1 week out from my gastric sleeve so right now i buy chobani champions yogurt, tomato soup,no sugar jello and puddingsand skim milk for my protein shakes. can't wait for next week ican have eggs and mashed potato and pureed veggies yay!I'm just curious, what are some things you guys are buying at the grocery store? I'm still pre-op, but I'm just interested in what some of you guys are getting from the store. I love walking through the grocery store, even when I'm not buying anything.
yes those potatos are good now looking forward to the next phase baked haddock!!! egg, chicken ham salad!!! nice to talk to another sleeve have not found many! I have a ? for you .I only lost 2lbs in 3 weeks is that normal in the first month?ohhh you better believe those mashed potatoes are going to be the best damn thing you ever ate....im 5 weeks out from having my sleeve done and boy oh boy those mashed taters were great lol
Wow I can't believe you can already have some of that stuff, i could not have potato until 3 weeks out!! and eggs just recently, are you having any issues with food?I haven't been inside a grocery store for over a month and I sure do miss it *LOL* I'm one week post surgery and just started phase 2. The first thing I ate was some "soupy" mashed potatoes and they were delicious! One of my nieces went shopping for me today. On my list were SF pudding cups, SF popsicles, cream of wheat, SF Jello, pea soup, cream of potato, brocolli and cheese soups, lowfat ricotta and cottage cheese. I still have applesauce and protein shakes on hand so I should be good for 1 to 2 more weeks. Plus I have egg substitute in the freezer and can't wait for phase 3 so I can make myself a protein "pancake" with eggs and cottage cheese. I also can't wait to be able to eat string cheese and Boca Burgers (veggie burgers). I'm going to try to make the burger on a half of a toasted wheat bun or english muffin and hope the bread won't make me dump.
From what I understand the sleeve doesn't lose as much weight as fast as the other 2 surgeries. The key is to not step on a scale everytime your in your bathroom. I do the same thing I'm always stepping on it and we have to realize that at different times of Te day were gonna weigh different depending on what we ate during the day. Just stay on course and you'll be okyes those potatos are good now looking forward to the next phase baked haddock!!! egg, chicken ham salad!!! nice to talk to another sleeve have not found many!

thanks for the advice i am a scale stepper but morning only, have not weighred myself for 4 days so hoping to see some movement when i weigh in sat morn. My Dr. said weight loss would be similiar to gastric slightly slower but more than band. I just worry when i start adding more to my diet what will happen!How have you been doing?From what I understand the sleeve doesn't lose as much weight as fast as the other 2 surgeries.
