im 3 weeks out. My doctor released us on pureeds the first week and told me to slowly start incorporating what i could handle so ive been just trying here and there lol

disney teach i havent tried crab yet but omg id KILL for a crab leg lol!! im going to try it!! and yes Shrimp has gone down the easiest of ANYTHING ive tried!! everything else gives me that weird heavy feeling

I sauteed myself about 5 small shrimp with a little teriyaki sauce cut down with water.. and it was soooo worth it! went down well no pain or discomfort and without the uncomfortable stuffed FULL feeling i get from other things!

Oh I sent it through the blender once.. by eating it normal I meant I didn't have to eat turtle slow and didn't get my usual discomfort

I was able to eat it like normal.. yay no pain or discomfort

OMG!!!!!!! i spent the ENTIIiiiiiire day yesterday watching FOOD NETWORK!! you so understand me!!! thank you for your encouragement

Pickle Spears (INSIDES NO SKIN) Light Soft serve ice cream Pork Skins! lol what have been some surprising things that sat well with your sleeve?

Thank you so much.. Thats all i want. I just want to bite a sandwich and not have discomfort going down. Yep and its definitely my hormones because reading your response just made me cry lol. have NO CLUE why im crying.. maybe im crying over my old best friend.FOOD!

thanks so much smileen and Bsleeve thats what i needed to hear.. that it wont always be this way.. Stirling2002 i feel you girl. I laugh at myself sometimes because i crave things that i didnt even like before surgery. Like CORNBREAD i HATE cornbread with a passion before surgery but now post op its like i think about it everyday lol WEIRD!!

see that makes me feel worse because i didn't have any of those issues.. HOWEVER i keep reminding myself that if i kept getting bigger it probably wouldve developed so ill suck it up and go run my Jasons deli Chicken chili through the blender lol im on pureed..bt ive been cheating a tad

well im not a man but i say you're LUCKY as heck..as long as you're losing keep going for it .. Im happy for you !!

I've been very positive up until this point. I've had the exemplary recovery. No puking, Minimal pain, and i can handle ANYTHING (no nausea) i put in my sleeve. Somethings sit a little heavier (discomfort) than others and I feel a little discomfort when i drink too much at once. Ok to the mourning part lol. My mom and I went to Jasons deli today where i got a cup of chili. I was only able to eat like 3 spoons before i started feeling discomfort ..... The amount is not the issue, well yes it is,, well IDK lol.. I know ill never be a buffet queen again but i just want to be NORMAL again. Ya know eat what i want IN MODERATION and gulp a nice cold powerade without feeling like its going to power through my chest. I guess i dont know what the issue is .. Maybe its my darn hormones .. I just miss food.. i find myself slightly regretting my surgery. and not for the reason that i thought. The surgery itself and recovery are fine.. I regret not being able to STUFF my face on command ..ok im through Rambling hopefully somebody understands what im going through. I just want to be normal again

I bought it from kfc

No crust of course..haven't even eaten it yet but I'm excited lol

Im on pureeds.. and you know we have to wait 30 to an hour to drink after .. im one of those ex EAT and Drink together people so after i eat i feel like im staring at the clock for 30 minutes until i can drink something.. and by the time i drink its like well time to do it all over again lol

ive drank about 32 ounces not counting my several popsicles.. i feel like im counting ALL DAY LONG!! and im eating everything 5 minutes (actually every 2 hours) .. is this normal?

I love them.. i guess the cravings are getting to me

I feel like im eating or drinking something every 5 minutes trying to get my liquids and nutrition right!! is this normal?? i Have no clue when im hungry im just eating because i feel like "ITS TIME"

Yall are right.. im gonna opt for soup instead lol

I am sooooo craving this tonight.. im thinking about throwing it in the blender one good time and going for it ? what do you all think?

Hey.. what are you eating?

I think the impatience has hit.. I feel like the weight hasn't dropped enough..Im so ready to get this show on the road!

Ok just reminding myself that better days are coming when I can eat again

Hey belle.. what are you eating now 8 months out??

Ill definitely discuss it with my doc but i must say it definitely did go away when i had some soup lol..
