Yay congratulations on ur new stomach!!!

Same here going thru some what the same so I decided to make my favorite dishes just smaller but using fat free or sugar free ingredients n high in protein. Trying to get all my protein from meals I do 5 small meals a say. Sometimes I start with a protein shake just to boost up my intake. A shake counts as a meal. So watch ur calories

i too had to two weeks liquid diet.. n who does not love eating? it was long but well worth it, i lost 17 pounds with those shakes, i had vanilla n strawberry.. not a big fan of chocolate unless its not artificial.. but yea u get tired of them.. i had all 5 a day . also the diet is to help u get used to consuming 5 meals a day .. every 3 hours. so far so good i will be a month out on the 5 of april.. man time flies!..

u can start that on ur third week, just remember to chew, chew, chew.. i had baked a whole fish today.. i saved some for tomorrow lol... it was sooo good!.. went down good with no problem. also had 1 teaspoon of pumpkin .

I sure they do sip for like 2 or 3 hours because right now i am 3 weeks post op going to be 4 on monday..n i can drink 8oz in about 20 to 30 mins, i don't rush it because then i tend to dump all the water.. which has happened before.. so once u get to know ur sleeve n how much liquid u can tolerate at a time, u will be fine.. how with solids depending on what it is i can do 2 oz -3 oz n get full.. i pause for like 10mins n finish the other oz if its high in protein other than that when i am full i stop.. n i do 5 meals a day 3 hours between ... n every 30mins sip sip... fill my pouch with liquid then wait 30 n again to get all my daily intake of 64oz or higher.. right now i am half way there lol.. ;ike 32 oz .. n just made 40 protein..which means i got to step up my game.

omg, i love Mexican food especially rolled tacos filled with chicken covered with fresh cabbage salad tomato cilantro splash of lemon juice, topped with some spicy tomato sauce n sour cream. hmmm... i know how to make em very tempted the only thing saving me is that i don't have the ingredients in my fridge n i don't want to walk to the super market because is sooo hot outside. its not a secret but hey.. oooh wait.. i was around downtown the other day n went to cvs n bought me some sugar free /gluten free chocolate chip cookies n some sugar free gluten free short bread cookies n man o man.. i am not suppose to snack but i have been very naughty....

i went to iron sushi on monday.. :wub: i only could eat one california roll. . no one in my family likes sushi so the other 7 rolls r sitting in the fridge.. felt so bad buying the damn thing.. i could only eat one. . it was so good. . but now i know, u cant eat with ur eyes.. the mouth might be big but the stomach is small.. so hmmm... i got some rolls if u want em..

i think u can enjoy many meal, just 1/2 a cup of it, so u can do 2 oz of ur protein maybe 1 veg or starch n 1 fruit or something sweet?.. unless u wait 30mins n continue to gorge on the whole plate.. ...would not recommend it.. stop when ur full. take ur time eating...

i would stay with the same plate for a while n then switch it over with a soup, move it around lay back oooh i am soo full.. then end dinner with some jello ..

well screw them lol by the time ur ready to shop for sexy clothes u wont want to shop at TarJey lol.. cant wait to spend my day at the mall.. going window shopping tomorrow lol take a few pics wat the hell try em on too lol...

wow lol,, my local target has a section for plus size lol.. they usually go on clearance alot but more new clothing come n always have a full stock.. besides the price the clothes are the same like the ones in the junior or women section. so thts good i guess.. there are alot of plus size women that shop at my local target so i guess thats why?..

you look amazing!!! keep it up girl!

my mom thought that in one month after surgery i was going to be "skinny" lol n i told her i wish it were like that, but it takes 1-2 years to lose atleast 70% of my body weight..

i am 3 weeks out n i find it better if i freeze the water , it feels so good lol.. n also nice cold crystal light hmmmm.but still cant get the required amount.

ur doing great keep it up!

wow i am sry u feel that way, the surgery is done make it work, it does work. you need to mentally prepare your self and learn the new traits of ur sleeve. Remember this is just a tool to aid in weight loss, no magic gimics here. Its all you and the sleeve, and how active u are, and on top of what ever ur doc and nutritionist say whats best for u. u need some motivation, go to youtube there are many inspirational stories. No one said it was an easy journey, its not the easy way out, you have to work hard to get to ur goal.. its done.. move on to a more positive side, and make it work!

i am three weeks post op n have lost (not including the 2 pre op 2 week diet ) 17 pounds since surgery n been stuck at the same weight for almost 4 days now.. i dont stress it much because my body is still healing everywhere n trying to catch up, i noticed my face is slimmer, my double chin is now one n is small, my legs , thighs, arms ,wrist n fingers all inches lost . n i went from a tight 16 to a 14, so i am happy for that. i still am trying to get all my vitamins in, n protein, n water.. but i know it will get better! i am 17 pounds away from "Onederland" so if it takes me 2 month to get there hurray because i know its not only pounds i am dropping but inches as well.. the pounds will fall on their own. dont forget to walk walk walk, n sip sip sip.

yay me too!!! soo good i had some ham and cheese for breakfast.. i tried egg on sunday n it didnt please my belly.. so yea i got a list of things approved by my nutritionist.. any of these salads with fat free mayo.. or light.. egg salad chicken salad tuna salad. any flaky fish, tilapia, snapper, grouper, meats chicken pork i didnt see beef.. weird.. sausages the list goes on n it just says its 1/2 cup 5 to 6 meals 3 hours apart. n remember to chew chew chew, and chew.. n no eating n drinking.. drink after 30mins. n then just sip all day in between meals!..

I am here with u. Me without having to lift my belly to see precious lol n can't wait for my belly to be gone n my thunder thighs to slim down!

awesome! man i want to get in the water so bad!.. do u think water is going to get in the incisions?

Damn girl you look FLY!!! GReAT WEight lost! :tongue2: :tongue2:

lol wow girl a mc muffin lol.. sausage mcmuffin lol u win

i went thru the same thing to, my problem was that i was using a teaspoon to eat n every time i ate it hurt as u described the nut told me i needed to be using a baby spoon because it was the right bite size. after that everything went down fine.. after the 6th day.

how much of it do u guys eat.. meaning the measurements..

i don't know if its the craziest but here it goes.. my mom cooked boneless bbq pork ribs. smelled so good i tasted a tip of the sauce n hmmmm so good.. so i took two pieces n pureed them along with my veggies.. boy was it good.. though i couldn't chew it down so i had to spit it out.. it was a good try .. but then i got heartburn so if anything next time i'll cook it since she dd use oils n seasonings that produced the heartburn from me sucking the world out of the meat. other than that i'll stick to blending yogurt with my protein shake and 2oz of soy unflavored milk..with lots of blended ice so it looks like a Slurpee lol..hmmm..
