I'm so glad you asked this! I'm up in Shreveport and scheduled to have surgery next Monday. I've almost been mourning not being able to eat crawfish again this season and now I see that I may get to eat them again this year after all!! I'll take only eating a few just as long as I get to eat them again Good luck in your recovery! I can't wait to be there with you!

Good luck to you too!! You know seafood is our heritage.

I didn't have side and yes once you feel the full feeling your okay w not having more your losing weight and feeling good you want care that u can only eat a small amount

Thanks girl...can't wait for the full feeling

I'm almost 6 months out and I eat seafood' date=' turkey, porky and some beef. I also eat minimal green veggies (because I'm usually full after I eat 3-4 oz of protein). For Snacks I do yogurt (Kroger CarbMaster), cheese sticks, lunch meat, jerkey, Quest Protein bars. I also usually do 1 Protein shake a day. Hope this helps.[/quote']

Sounds good!! Its been a week today and I'm craving soul food! Lol

I'm 2 months on Monday and I had crawfish this weekend and I was able to eat four or five it cause no heart burn or anything real easy to go down

Five?.lol did you have sides? Do you feel satisfied or deprived?. Im feel so deprived and regretful.

Who did your surgery? Did your dr tell you to take Prilosec or another acid reducer? The cravings are probably head hunger' date=' but I am in no way an expert. I'm 20 days post op and I've had no cravings and I haven't been hungry at all. I get lots of tummy gurgles but the dr told me its stomach acid and its my new stomach waking up and getting feelings back after being cut. He prescribed Prilosec

My problems right now aren't being hungry (thank goodness) it's not being able to drink enough fluids or eat enough to maintain my Protein requirements.

The Protein drinks make me so full and bloated & gross feeling, after an ounce or two that I can't even sip Water or eat ice chips for several hours afterwards.[/quote']

Dr. Lavin in Metairie, i have Prolisec and I will try it. Thanks

How far out are you post op? I'm in Louisiana too and my Dr is in New Iberia and my food plan shows seafood weeks 4-5. Crawfish will probably be 3-4 tails depending on size and amt you normally eat.

6 days post op..major cravings

When can I have these again???

Milk of magensia

When can I have crawfish again???? And how many?

Every Doc really has their own protocol' date=' huh? I was moved to purees in the Hospital. I've eaten things like Greek yogurt, pudding, scrambled egg, Tomato Soup w/ pureed chicken, etc.[/quote']

I would die for a scrambled egg....

I was sleeved on Monday, and I'm looking forward to when i can eat normal again. My question is...what kind of foods are guys eating??

Take the test...

I'm new' date=' I was sleeved on Mar 11th,came home on the 14th. I am on purees. Doing OK haven't taken pain meds since yesterday. I'm actually worried or confused maybe that I seem to be easily able to drink and eat. I am not experiencing the 'three bites and full' that you hear about. I'm down 19 from my highest (12 since surgery day)[/quote']

What kind of purees are you on?? Im still on liquids... torcher!

I never got full on liquids. Now that I'm on puréed and soft foods I definitely feel full.

I also started taking Prilosec for the hunger feeling and that helps a lot!

How does it help?? I am starving.

Yep' date=' this is the part that really sucks! There is a period where some of us were really hungry due to ghrelin still in our systems.....It will past, you will do just fine, drink some more Soup if you need to or better yet, some Protein shake will help.....You may have acid in your stomach so it might be advisable to take a PPI (nexium, omeprazole, prilosec, tums, etc.) with your surgeons approval of course. [/quote']

I just cheated and had greek yogurt!! I couldn't take it anymore.

Really sick of broths, gross Tomato Soups, and crystal light.....omg im starving!! Help!

How much did you take and how long did it take? Thinking I need to take more. I took 1 tablespoon 2 hours ago

I took the same amount. They told me to sip on it every two hours ;(

Just had my first pooped.....lol thanks to milk of magnesia...ewwwe...lol!!!

I just took a tablespoon of milk of magnesia. NASTY!!!!

Ikr!!! I hate it (((

MiraLAX!

Is it yucky??...lol

I haven't had a BM since i was sleeved on Monday...can someone help? Can someone help...no milk of magnesia .....ewwee

Anyone got a good idea to switch up on liquids? No broth!!

Anyone???

I was sleeved on Monday but I am still on the liquids phase barely surviving...i have yet to feel satisfied?? Does the full feeling come first with the soft, mushy or solid phase??

Hey everybody! I am doing much better pain wise as well, just sick of the liquid phase...what is everyone else eating?

I have already lost 17lbs
