Shannon, I don't think u did bad at all.. I too have ate some good stuff like u but not like the old days.. Just A few bites and I was done... I'm 5 weeks out.. Good luck to u hun!!

Hi, I'll be 5 weeks out tomorrow . I will start with soft foods this week. I have only lost 15 pounds the first 7 days.Surgery was 8/7 weighed 179 and now 164. I was working out almost everyday. I'm a little bummed good luck! Good job cowgirl Jane!!!

Not sure about that one... I think it will be ok. Just suck on the lemon , don't eat it. U can eat a piece of watermelon with lemon and chilli powder!! Yummy that's sounds really good right now..

For sure!! I see my dr sep 13... I'll let u know how it goes. Good luck to you!! Losing weight slow is better than no weight loss!!

I was putting tapatio on my chicken brooth after the 1st week. You should be ok. Only problem would be if u get heartburn... Good luck

I'm 4 weeks out made myself salsa verde to put on everything!!! Just make sure u blend everything very well. How many weeks out r u? I even put it on my soups.... Mmmmmm good!

I'm 4 weeks out and haven't lost weight for 2 weeks. I was sleeved 8/7 from 179 now 165. I've been eating 1000-1200 calories daily. I workout everyday and weights every other day. Not sure what I'm doing Wrong..

Omg, I thought I was the only one doing the chewing and the spitting out. Lol I'll be 5 weeks out in a couple if days, and can't wait to have some real food .. Good luck!!

I'm 2 weeks post-op and my doctor said it was ok as Long as i feel ok... I used one on sat and it was good. No pain, I felt good,Lost 15 pounds so far...

Sleeved 8/7, band out too!!! Was 177 the date of surgery now I'm 8 days post and now 165. What sucks is that this is only water weight I am losing... Not complaining !!!

Question ladies, how much can we drink every 10 min? I was sleeve 8/7

5 day post-op, you'll probably think I'm crazy but I have a baby tsp of scramble eggs yesterday. Then all my family got together and they ordered pizza for the kids. I got a lil slice and would chew the heck out of it, then spit it out!!! Pizza never tastes so good. I'm done with the protien drinks and jello does anyone know what would happen if we did eat a piece of food down our throats? Good luck

I agree with every one else. I was sleeved on tue aug 7, and have been taking 1 oz of protien at a time.. I am camping in bakersfield at 108 degrees . Dumbass!!! Anyways just drink 1-2 oz every 20 min u should be ok. The doctor told me protien and vitamins don't really count the first week. What's important right now is staying hydrated. U can do it... I was regretting it yesterday thinking really negative. The truth is I'm just wanting to eat real food now.. good luck!!

6 year with the band huh? I'm having my band removed tomorrow after 7 years and my doctor said he won't do the sleeve if I have scar tissue... Was that an issue for ur doctor?

I'm glad u don't have to wait that long to get sleeved. How long did u have the band in? I had my for 7 years Nd my dr told me I have to wait one year. He also said he can't remove any scar tissue, bc it has to heal on its own. It's tricky bc he hasnt even seen how much scar tissue I have to even start with. I guess that's how kaiser does it?

My lap and was placed October 2007 and will be removed tuesday this week... I was 228 and went down to 138 now with out any fluid in the band I'm 180 I feel like such a loser.. If I don't get the sleeve I really have to watch what I put in my mouth... I don't want to b 228 ever!!!

Wow, you guys are lucky.. I'm having my band removed this Tuesday an mostlikly dr won't be able to do sleeve due to scar tissue... I've had my band for 7 years.. Good luck to u

Thanks , I think I'm going to sleep at my aunts house for those 2 nights. She lives about 30 min away from the camping area.

I'm going to ask how long I'm supposed to have the drains in? I live in Los Angeles about 1 hour driving to go camp grounds. My biggest worry is the diarrhea , they say you get it until about 2-3 weeks ?

Thanks, sleeping in a tent and on airbed. I'm just going to make sure I have my protien drinks and water.
