Alleluia PURÉED Stage

[suzannethemom]

Hooray, I finally made it to the puréed stage! So many choices that it was hard to decide. I had 1% cottage cheese with two teaspoons of puréed pineapple. My stomach did fine, but my head got a little dizzy towards the end. Probably a blood sugar spike. It was worth it! I’m going to try refried beans (runny) with cheese for dinner.

Today is three weeks from my sleeve surgery. I’ve only lost 10 pounds since my surgery, but 29 pounds overall. I can really feel the difference in my legs when we go for a walk and no more body aches. We walked a steep hill in our neighborhood yesterday and I didn’t have to stop to catch my breath. It’s weird because I look the same when I see myself in the mirror, but I feel thinner. I really thought that the weight was going to just “fall off” faster. I have to accept that this journey is going to take a while and I need to be patient.

So happy you got to “move up” today! I’m even more glad that your tummy is handling it. And hey… 29 pounds is a wonderful number and with each pound you lose you are getting better and stronger. You got this!

Wow ,29 lbs is as much as my preschooler so you've lost a whole tiny 4 year old haha. That's great though!

Yay! Glad you made it to the next phase!

Hee hee, that’s a funny way to look at it. I was thinking a giant bag of dog food, but I like small toddler better!

Yay hooray for losing that much weight. The best part is that 29lbs is most likely lost forever. And you already are experiencing NSVs. Woohoo! I'm so happy for you.

Yum! I love cottage cheese and refried beans so hurray for you. Also, it should be a little easier for you to get your protein in now. 29 pounds is great! Don't sweat the weight. Work the program and it will work for you. Even if it seems slower than you like or you hit a stall.

Yes, definitely. I got to 51 grams of protein yesterday! That’s a huge improvement for me. Now I’ve got to work on drinking more fluids.

There are tons of recipes on pintrest for pureed foods, the pureed chicken salad and egg salad is pretty good. I bought baby food for my pureed for something different, plus it has pouches with different veggies, fruit etc. It's easy to take one with you if you're on the go and you find that you need to eat. For myself the baby food and cream of wheat was the easiest thing for me to have in the morning
