your body is grieving the loss of part of your stomach and that is major!!! in these first weeks focus on your recovery your diet and try to make yourself comfotable and find things that make you happy such as a movie an object a favorite picture keep it near you as a symbol that you cared enough about yourself to take control of your wieght and health you are in the driver seat now not food! for me it was a bag of clothes that i kept filling up as the wieght kept coming off and it will that bag is almost full now.... personally i dont care for medz unless absolutely required ask your doctor about joining a support group and visit this site daily for great info and stories good luck

next treat day i will have the dough.. lol.. yum.. i must say i truly appreciate food now ... before food was not even something i thought about i just gulped it now i cherish food.. and there is so much of it to choose from.. just have to choose the right food yay

tried pizza for the first time since my sleeve.. oh my!!... I'm 6 weeks out and promised myself a treat.... i had half a small slice of just cheese with no crust and i cut it up in small pieces totaled about 4-6ounces i dipped it in sauce just in case.. i chewed each small piece very well and took my time.. was scared but all went ok i did get full right away and my stomach gurgled as it went down.. but such a milestone for me.. being that i had lots of complications early on yay me.. all i can say is yum yum yum.

I'm 6 weeks out. ... and i was a very occasional soda person before surgery.. but do crave it especially to quench my thirst... at a recent family function i accidentally out of habit drank 7-up after gulping it and realizing it.. i was on panic mode just waiting to see the outcome and it did give me a very uncomfortable and bad stomach acke so won't do that again ... like all the other comments i would wait a very long time to try it...

im 6 weeks out also.. i have tried tomatoes no heartburn.. but i use a lemon squeezer and it goes down easy.. haven't tried cucumbers but also craving it..

im 6 weeks out.. haven't dared explore that much but for me no change with taste hope it stays that way.

i recommend supremo queso fresco ... its easy going down crumbles up and did not give me any discomfort has 6 grams of protein per serving.. i eat it as a snack.. yum

I'm 4 weeks out and wondering if spicy food chewing gum and candy are safe.. i enjoyed then before surgery can i still enjoy them now?? .. is spicy dangerous for stomachs lining etc... i had blended mild guacamole tonight so far so good but feel really full.. didn't attempt to go with spicy yet.. any comments.....

thanks so much .. will put to use your selections.. i appreciate it and good luck to us both..
