I heard a lot of good thing about Dr. Texiera. I didn't know that he is opening his own clinic. I didn't go with him because for me it was a lot of travel time. ( I am from NJ) Where would be location of his clinic? Good luck to you in your journey.

try blended beans. I like canned tuna.

I know how you feel. as advice. try to do your mushy more liquid. I couldn't hand the mushy on 3rd week I need to add more liquid to make it more soupy look and then I was able to eat it. my first one was oatmeal you can try cream of wheat.

can you drink protein shake chocolate milk flavor. For me they taste the same.

I am on my 4th week and slowly moving to soft food. today I was crazy about cheese. I probably miss it a lot fresh mozzarella was my "candy" of the day. still having problem to get all 60g of Protein. but doing my best. weight is loosing very slow. but at least it getting off. last week I only lost 3 lbs. but I am stubborn so I hope I win bought elliptical and start doing exercise but after 10 min feel tired and decided to lay down. - wake up 40 min later. I never thought that it would be that hard for me. bicycle didn't give me that problem. Still sometimes ( very often) feel lightheaded. but hope this would go away. Missing my normal Breakfast with cup of coffee and cheese. I am missing that I cannot have it together

what about protein, did you drink isopure? clear protein drink? you need to drink protein to feel full.

was sleeved on 9/7 and was back to work on 9/17, but I have a desk job.

Hmm... I would call the surgeon just to be safe.

Great change and nice pictures. I am 4 weeks out and down 15 lb since my surgery and 37 from the start. Don't know why but my body doesn't want to give up this weight

what hunger do you have? Can you just eat every 3 hours? I mean meal and snack in between? what about work out? Did you do something? I heard that you can use boot camp to start again. do search on this forum....

I just start my 4 week and I cannot eat 1 cup. the 4 oz is the maximum what I can handle and sometimes it is even a lot. I put 2 oz of protein and 2 oz of veggies. and sometimes didn't even finish that.

after surgery at least my body start slowly tolerant liquid and after full liquid and after puree I tried soft food but it hurt when you swallow. Now when I am starting my 4 week post op I can eat soft food but not always. Puree is going down better. and I am glad I can drink easy 4 oz at once without 15 min interval between each sip.

My diet is exactly like yours. but week 3 is puree and week 4 is soft food.

I was told no orange juice..... I am almost 4 weeks out and still no orange juice.

what I remember from my pre op diet you need to have at least 70g protein so I actually end up with 5 shakes per day.

GREAT, keep walking and speedy recovery.

Thank you will try. will buy it today when I go to the store.

Tomorrow I would be 4 weeks post op. So look like it takes much longer for me

I checked the coconut water it has the lowest 11g of sugar. Is it ok to drink?

Guys, I notice that after surgery I sometime woke up in the morning from the leg cramps. the pain is bad and I need to massage my leg for 5-7 min and try to walk on it before it goes away. First I think it is cold and this is reaction to it. but it wasn't cold at all today and I wake up again with leg cramp, Does anyone has the same issue? what to do with it? Should I worry and call the doctor?

I am only 3 weeks post op so I hope I would be able to drink more and more. but for now I am only able to get the max 32 oz per day but usually 20oz of water.

How can you put so many water in yourself? I am drinking already for an hour and just finish 1 bottle 20oz of water and feel like balloon with water inside.....

I end up in someway funny situation. I told only my close family and only 3 friends and the lady who actually introduce me to the sleeve. And that Lady told everyone.... even person who I don't know. so I think now so many people knows ..... but I don't care. I don't think that sleeve is easy solution. people who are talking that way doesn't know what they are talking about. I still have 3 other good friends who have no idea and I still cannot decided if I should tell them or not.

Good Luck and Speedy recovery. Keep us posted.

I am another one. I tried to drink coffee in the morning, but... I cannot drink more then 2 oz. on 3rd week I start adding the skim milk and now I can drink 2oz coffee with 2 oz of milk. never drank coffee with milk before.
