  1. I love the club crackers 100 whole wheat. I have not tried crab cakes sounds like a good idea. What kind of lunch meat do you eat? Chicken salad I have eaten once. I made homemade egg foo young with vegs that was great. I do not have caffeine or sugar at this point as well.
  2. I feel amazing. I have lost 25 lbs since my surgery and I can feel the difference already. I have more energy and my closes are falling off. I do mourn the loss of eating my favorite foods and have a hard time smelling my favorite foods. I made spaghetti last night and I had to leave the room when my family was eating. I am burned out on soft food but I know I have to take it slow and easy. I have not cheated and I make sure I get my protein and water in each day as much as I can. I use to hate beans of any type no love pinto beans with cheese. I make a fo-pasta bake lol ricotta cheese, spaghetti sauce and mozzarella cheese bake. I makes me feel like I am eating pasta. Some days I can eat more then others. I love my baby bell cheese and laughing cow cheese. Club 100% wheat crackers are great 2-3 of them with humus sooo good. Tell me what you have been eating and how you feel. Tell me how much you have lost.
  3. Thanks both of you, was afraid I was stretching the sleeve.
  4. Had surgery 2/1 I have lost 16.5 lbs. Watching my family eat is hard as well as smells. I have three children and I have been stressed this week because I have been sick. I was diagnosed with Pneumonia and pleurisy. Spent two days in hospital to come home and feel worse. Depression is horrible and being sick is not helping. I feel like a burden on my family. I had this surgery to feel better not worse. I know this is a complication from the surgery. I hope I have the strength to not cheat and not eat because I am upset. I have been doing good but this is a set back, its keeping me from being active.
  5. I watch my family an dander were they put all that food. Now I am like a food critic volume and what people makes me sick. Just to thin of the fried Chinese food in sugar sauce we eat has not nutritional value. I am now much more aware of bad foods.
  6. I feel like the volume of the amount of soup has gone up and liquids at one time. I can finish a whole protein drink in 10 mins. I am afraid I am doing something wrong.is it okay for me to be able to drink more at this point? I don't want to do damage to sleeve or stretch it out.
  7. Anyone out there like me, I was sleeved on 2/14 of this year. It was the best gift I have ever gotten.
  8. I am almost 2 weeks it does get better. I still have one incision that hurts bad. I am able to get the water and protein in, baby steps don't push it to fast. The slower you do it the better you will heal.
