Oh I know the feeling but you must eat and if you can not eat then drink a protein shake!!

That is awesome!! I may just have to get 1!!

It took me 2 1/2 monts until I could handle salad-- it hurt my belly earlier than that-- I was on a lot of yogurt, soups, tuna, eggs at 18 days out.. They told me 700- 800 calories ... which some days I am over some under.. I have re-introduced shakes because I don't feel I am getting enough protein.. LOVE bean or pea soup though!

Looks good but even a large seems like it may be small.. I may look into custom garments

Yoyu are moving ahead and they loved you then since they are noticing your loss-- if they said nothing then they did not care back when you were heavier! Congrats on the new you

Exactly at least the cheat was not and not 5 days after surgery as the repercussions are so much worse-- Move on and behave... You can do it

Big Prayers coming out!

Don't freak out KOUNTRYGIRl-- this happens to a lot of people but after surgery it wont!! Stay strong

Another high protein food! And when you are snacking on something good for you , it feels better!

You are going to do great!!!! Just take little sips-- I am 2 months out and still no hunger-- set your alarm to eat if necessary!

I will have to view when I get home! Can't wait to see!

ICE POPS!! I live on them for when I feel dehydrated (SF of course) I got molds and will be making my own hi pro ice poPs as well now!

WOW great progress!!!

Cracking up here! I know my daughter uses it for her fibromyalgia

I guess some Dr's have other ideas!! My new favorite snack is edamame! I just throw the steamfresh bag in the micro take out sprinkle with sea salt and garlic povder (or tabasco salt AWESOME) and eat ! YUM!

OH and I have that darn indigestion/acid too and I never had it before-- TUMS are my friend now!

WOW they did not tell you to be sure to get in Protein?? SO important-- here is a link to a meal plan for us that I found online that is similar to the one I got from my NUT .... Google Cornell VSG Diet and the link is probably the second one on the list it is a PDF file ... this is the name of the document: The Cornell Weight Loss Surgery Program: Dietary Guidelines for Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Good luck!!!

Main thing is to ge tthe protein-- try to get some vegs/fruit in or you will get all bound up I am eating 5 prunes daily to combat that issue! One of my favorite "snacks" is edamame-- I buy the steamfresh bags-- pop in micro-- sprinkle with sea salt and nibble on them... I love my sf ice pops and fudgesicles too! .. Todau I broke down and got a Taco on the way into work from taco bell-- one of those Dorito ones-- chewed a lot for sure!

I have been okay so far but was told no soda or alcohol-- you do know there is a high incidence of alcoholism amongst WLS patients right.. so avoid it if possible! AFTER 2 MONTHS I CAN FINALLY EAT SALAD!!YAY

I was sleeved April 20 2012 by Dr Strom at Bayshore Medical Center in Holmdel NJ... I am feeling great-- I am down 56 pounds so far and I just realized I can eat salad! I hate that I can nto drink as much water as I used to but I am getting there!

I was never hungry in the beginning I was setting my alarm to remind me to eat-- you MUST get in your protein--- drink shakes, make hi pro jello, pudding and ice pops!
