Thanks for the encouraging words.

Anyone else having this issue after being sleeved??? I'm a month post op, and I have lost most of my desire to eat. Nothing tastes amazing to me after its been chewed to mush... I still can't tell if I'm ever hungry, or my stomach is just digesting... And I always seem to eat one bite too much, leaving me in discomfort after almost every meal. I do watch what I eat, I take small bites, chew until there is barely anything left, and eat slow... I guess I didn't anticipate on losing the passion for food... I mean, I knew that the obsession would dwindle, but I don't even enjoy it. Idk if this is a just a stage... Or something others experience... Idk... Maybe once I'm released to "all foods" I will have a different experience. Right now, I'm still on mushy foods. I pretty much can have everything except raw veggies, breads, pastas, nuts and berries. I'm only able to take in about 4 tsp of whatever I eat per sitting...

Weighed on Tuesday (my 1mo post op date), I weighed in at 189. no more weighing for me until my next MD visit on the 10th...

I eat three meals a day... About 3 oz of chicken, tuna or whatever protein I'm having plus about an oz of streamed veggies. I usually don't finish it all, but I try to. My fluid intake varies from day to day still. I'd say I'm averaging about 32-48 oz... Ummm... I don't weigh myself. Sounds lame, I know... But pre op I was OBSESSED with the numbers in the scale. It was an unhealthy relationship between me and my scale. Ha! My thought is to weigh every two weeks. Which seems to be working well for me so far. Highest weight 225 Surgery weight 206 Two week Post Op visit weight: 195 Tomorrow will be my next weigh in...

Congrats!!! Tomorrow is my one month post op day as well!!! I was telling my friend earlier that it doesn't seem like its been a month, yet it almost feels like its been years! Ha! This has been the best decision I have ever made for myself. Wouldn't change it for the world. You are looking fabulous!!!!

Awesome!!! I'm in love with the double cookie crunch! Good luck with them!

What!?!? Perhaps your husband doesn't notice it because he sees you daily...??? Idk, but I can definitely see a difference in your before and after photos! You are clearly losing inches!!! Chin up and keep doing what you are doing, because its working for you!

I think it's normal to have relapses. It's not like you can fully relapse... Not at this point anyway. I mean, when u think about it... We went through a complete 180 change. From over indulging in our favorite foods to being in complete liquids! Then slowly having the basic foods.. So I think it's kind of natural to want and even try the old stuff that you miss. Not that it's okay to continue to taste or indulge, but I think you'll be just fine.

From "newbie" to "newbie" beware of asking questions about foods that people consider cheating foods. I got laid into from "rolls eyes" a few weeks back when I asked about frozen yogurt. I'll be a month out on Tuesday, an still haven't tied frozen yogurt or even tempted ice cream. I have found sugar free fruit pops to be my saving grace. Ohhh and if you want something creamy, sugar free pudding with a dab sugar free cool whip. Idk if you can have pudding yet, but its a tasty treat when you are craving. I will tell you from experience, that the first two weeks were seriously the HARDEST for me. A complete mind f*#k. Hang in there....

You are looking amazing!!! Congrats! Absolutely stunning!

Congrats!!! You look amazingly great!!! Keep up the hard work!

Thank you! It was an innocent question, as I was new to the surgery and was curious. I didn't have any... And I still haven't. I'm sure someday I will though.

I did it and had the same outcome. Only I could totally taste the Protein, had a Vitamin taste to it. So much for the protein being "unflavored". I too could stomach Protein Shakes after surgery. It was something about the consistency of them that made me want to puke. I ordered a sample pack of protein mixes of Syntrax Nectors, and I have to admit, they are pretty yummy. I've only tried he double cookie crunch and the vanilla wafer ones. I mix them with some ice and skim milk (u could use soy or almond milk). It's like a Oreo cookie milkshake! Very tasty. They also have a fruit punch mix, I have it but haven't tried it yet, thinking that would mix in great with crystal lights fruit punch...

You are a PRIME example that hard work pays off!!! That this surgery is a wonderful tool, especially when YOU put forth the efforts to utilize it as a tool! Good for you!!! You look great! I bet you are full of energy like never before. Great job!!!

I'm not sure I'm understanding your question... Are you asking if you should drink your slushy and eat your nachos together? (Avoid the normal 30minute rule)??? If that's what your asking, I personally wouldn't, but then again, I'm pretty new in my surgery (2/26). I can see how a trip to the movies would be difficult when it comes to planing your snacks. I have always had my snack and drink together... That's a big change to switch it around. Hopefully a veteran sleever will respond to this!
