  1. No it shouldn't harm you BUT make sure you DO NOT cheat anymore because there's a reason your doctor has you going through phases. The stomach is healing which is why u have to ease into foods. The more u eat that isn't liquids the more your stomach will churn and cause pressure which can cause a leak. And that is something you don't want. You'll be in the hospital for a few months. I'm a month out n on soft foods. I completely understand because just a few weeks ago I felt tha same way! Just hang in there! You'll be on soft foods before you know it. just make sure to get all your Protein n fluids in. good luck. ! •Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery Weight 8/3 -230 •Current Weight 8/31 -203
  2. I had it at good Samaritan In San Jose too! yes I really like dr. Cirangle and Gabriella is super informative. Thank u for the advice n suggestions ! This forum makes it do much easier to go through all this because your not the only one. •Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery Weight 8/3 -230 •Current Weight 8/31 -203
  3. U might be drinking/ eating too fast . This happens to me also when I take too big of a sip or eat a bite with our waiting for a few minutes before the next. If your eating/drinking slow I would suggest asking your nutrionist /doctor. •Highest Weight - 240 •Surgery Weight 8/3 -230 •Current Weight 8/31 -203
  4. Pre op was a breeze it's the post op diet that sucks ! do the best you can! It's all worth it in the end. This I am coming to find out. Good luck on your surgery!
  5. What kind of soft foods did u eat ? They told me my soft phase is restricted n limited to cottage cheese tofu eggs Greek yogurt n my protein supplements... I've been eating those n I'm so bored of it except eggs. There's got to be more I can eat besides just those. :/
  6. Has anyone else been sleeved by Dr. Cirangle ? If so pleeease reply... I have a few questions on what you've been eating because they're food guidelines don't suggest much. Please help.
  7. Nah I haven't talked to him cause he said its pretty normal it's not too restricting n it gets better every day next week I'll be able to strength train my surgeon says. n thank u! I'll check out the link

  10. Thank you so much for posting this. I got sleeved 8/3 and going through exactly the same thing. I was getting super frustrated n was worried I was doing something wrong. But now I feel a lil less stressed.
  11. Thanks for responding! is string cheese ok? The light kind. Ive been having One during work hours n Cottage cheese.,I'm getting frustrated cuz my weight keeps going up n down I read the labels n make sure there's high protein n low carbs n fat etc. what am I doing wrong ? :/ I haven't started excersizing besides walking a lil n work. (Because my stomach pain just went away about a day ago...just can't do anything crazy or else it will start to hurt). Could that be why? Cuz I haven't really excersized yet? Ugh :/

  14. I am a lil over two weeks post op. I am still on my liquid diet but I am just getting sick and tired of the things I have to drink ( the things my doc office gave me with protein in it... Soups drinks etc) I get nauseous n can't finish it. They all taste good at first but after a few times of eating it. I just think they taste disgusting!! I'm so tired of liquids!!!! I'm so frustrated. Any advice on GOOD tasting liquids with protein ? Or any other advice.
  15. Just curious... I didn't really know where to put this thread. But what happens to the staples after your all healed?
  16. Thanks so much!! and congratulations on your success so far!! So exciting.
