I just started on soft foods yesterday, and I had the tiniest and yummiest hamburger patty for dinner last night! lol The leanest ground beef with a smidge of low fat cheese on top; chewed lime hell. Heaven for this carnivore, and Sleevester liked it just fine!

It still weirds me out though bc I've always been a "once a day, every day" kind of girl!!

My doc just told me today that at this point (sleeved 10-15), every 3-4 days is normal since we're taking in so little food.

I was in 2 nights/3 days, too. I felt horrible (nausea) and never even checked my phone or turned in the TV. Everyone is different, of course, but I felt like poo, just wanted to sleep and had to get up every 30 minutes or so for the ladies' room!

This made me laugh out loud!! Love it.

For the 4 days prior to surgery, I gave myself permission to eat whatever I wanted to without guilt. A funny thing happened, I didn't go crazy and shovel in Big Macs and Hershey's Kisses. lol We went to our favorite, little dive Mexican place. I ended up ordering fajitas! And we went to Texas de Brazil and I ate mostly filet mignon!

What does that even mean?

I've been taking Prilosec capsules since day 4 with no issues. You shouldn't empty capsules if they're extended release.

I'm not allowed shellfish for 3 months!! I still can't figure out why. ????

I had my husband take our scale out of the house and I've been happier for it. Well, we're at my parents' house this weekend and I got on their scale. Big mistake. Only down 3lbs in the last 2 weeks! That makes me so MAD! I know you can't compare yourself to others blah, blah, blah, but we all do. It's human nature. It's HARD to see others losing 20+ or even 30+ pounds the 1st month and here I am losing "just" 13. Yes I know that's 13 I wouldn't have lost pre-sleeve, BUT STILL. I'm doing everything right and it's so frustrating and demotivating. :'(

That's one opinion. I've been eating puréed chicken since day 10 with no issues whatsoever, so it's not too early for everyone. OP, maybe you can try canned chicken since its not as dry. I've also had an easy time with tilapia and tuna steak (in the blender). If something doesn't work, just wait a week or two and try again. Good luck!!

Anything really cold did that to my tummy right after surgery. Had to be room temp or warmer. If you're a week out, it's totally normal as you're healing and your new stomach is trying to figure out what the heck just happened!!

Why did my NUT say I can't have shellfish for 6 months?!?

I've been hungry since I opened my eyes this morning. I don't know what's going on, but it's been a miserable day. I have a terrible sinus infection and I'm wondering if my body is wanting more food/calories to fight it. Dies that even make sense? Blah.

Ninja fan here! I LOVE it.

I live in Baton Rouge now, but little bitty Waskom is home. <3

I'm from Waskom!!

6-9 months before trying steak but I can have lean ground beef (a hamburger) after 8 weeks. Not sure about pork bc I don't like it!

Go "put on" a pair of those fat pants and you won't be able to STOP smiling!

Shut the front door!! Girl, you better jump up and down over that! I'd fart a rainbow if I could wear a 14 again!

I've had good luck with beans; black, pinto and navy Beans with a pinch of low fat shredded cheese had really hit the spot. Also, tilapia and lentil soup.
