cream of wheat, oatmeal, mashed potatoes!! mac and cheese

I can do a whole chobani its not really a solid more of a thick liquid!!

thanks steve! Ok here is my new problem: I had t0o take the scale out of the bathroom as if it doesn't read what I think it should I get so depressed!! Anyone else feel that way? I have been an angel and thought I would see a 10-12lb loss and only saw 5! I know that any weight loss is great but still felt so dissapointed.... So now only at my doctors will I weigh in!!

We were told no Drinking 20minutes before we eat and 1 hour after!!

yes thats a great way to look at it!! Don't wait til it hurts just when you start to feel the pressure thats your cue that your done!! its a new way to feel full!! I am down 30lbs so far in 3 weeks!! It works!!

it feels like its stuck right? Its because you ate too fast or too much or its still swollen as its completely normal and will get better with time but if you overeat you will feel this forever!! Thats the restriction!! My Nut says to quit eating just before I feel that and i have been fine ! I was done Mar 4th

ITs the safest(less complications) least expensive and least invasive surgery and I had it done Mar 4th and LOVE IT!!! Down 24lbs without even trying!! The restriction is amazing i get full so easy on so little!! Its only new to the US as they have been doing them in south America for 12years and europe for about 8-9 years!! Great results too!!

I have put no effort just followed my Dr's instructions and lost 24lbs in less then 2 weeks!! The Restriction is amazing! No Cutting other then the incisions and its the best surgery ever!! Go Plication!!

I had the Plication done March 4th and I love it so much!! I too am amazed how full and satified I feel on such a small amount of food!! It really is a Miracle and in my opinion the least invasive and least expensive way to go!! I am down 24lbs but I haven't been on a scale in 2 weeks so its more as my clothes are getting very loose!! YAY!! Do it!!

I had the sleeve plication March 4th and I am down 24lbs already!! I am so amazed at how fast i feel full and I had no nausea no vomiting at all!! I feel so happy and I really believe this time its gonna work!!

Soft scrambled eggs with cheese is a good choice! you won't fit 2 eggs in and the cheese adds protein!!

on the 4th I will be a month out and i can chug just fine!! Give it time!! Best of luck!!

LOW FAT MAYO ! HALF THE CALORIES!!

I am About a month out and i take small but not baby bites and I am fine!!

i was plicated Mar 4th and i have lost 24lbs already!! I feel full from a ridiculously small amount and for me this will work!! I know i still have to make wise food choices but at least I know I have help to keep it off!! Lets face it we all want a"donut"(insert fav fatty food) at some point but to be able to enjoy a 1/2 and feel full once in a while is amazing to me!! Plus I had a very easy recovery no nausea no vomiting but plenty of restriction!! its a winner and it is a "Sleeve" just a variation of one!!

I HAVE MADE IT A POINT TO NEVER LET MY WEIGHT STOP ME BUT YES VERY EMBARRASSED WHEN I TOOK TENNIS LESSONS AND WAS TREATED LIKE A JOKE!! THEN THERE WAS THE TIME I WAS AFRAID TO ZIP LINE BUT WHEN I OPENED MY MOUTH THEY SAID NO PROBLEM WE HAVE DIFFERENT EQUIPTMENT BUT EVERYONE CAN DO THIS!! SO I HAVE SEEN BOTH SIDES AND TELL HER GO TO YOGA HOLD HER HEAD UP AND FOCUS ON THE GOOD SHE IS DOING!!

I TOO WAS STARVING AND MADE IT TO DAY 8 THEN I HAD SOME LOOSE MASHED POTATOES MMM GOOD!! JUST A TINY 1/4 CUP AND I WAS FINE AND FINALLY FULL!! TOLD MY NUTRIONIST AND SHE SAID IF I WAS TOLORATING IT I WAS FINE!! HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON!!

sharonintx I couldn't have said it better myself!! Wonderful post and so true!! I too have progressed to soft foods early but I am still making wise choices and oh yeah down 24lbs is 11 days!! yay!!

hey jeff when did you get cleared for meat? I am on Mushies then soft until april 17 and my surgery was mar 4th.

hey TC I had the surgery Mar 4th and Ive dropped 24lbs and i am so happy!! Its really safe and I felt great afterward no nausea no vomiting!! I am on "mushy" foods and seem to tolorate it all well! Of course I had to test it so I ate a bit more then i was allowed and boy did i feel a restriction!! It was a bad feeling but also Good too!! I am so surprised by how little fills me up and i am satisfied because I am eating things I enjoy but because its a small amount it works!! best of luck!! I too was a self pay and so far its really really worth it!!

I THOUGHT WE DON'T HAVE DUMPING WITH PLICATION??? WE ABSORB ALL!! RIGHT??

ME TOO!! ONLY DID LIQUIDS FOR 7DAYS THEN WENT TO PUREED FOR 5DAYS NOW ON DAY 15 I AM EATING MOSTLY PUREED BUT SOFT FOODS TOO!! I WILL STAY ON SOFT UNTIL APRIL 17 WHICH IS 6WEEKS POST OP!

I AM 15DAYS OUT AND I CAN EAT ALL MY SOFT FOODS WITH NO PROBLEM!! THEY PUT PASTA ON AS A SOFT FOOD AND NO PROBLEM!! I TOO EAT CRACKERS AS ITS BETTER AND BREAD WILL BE THE LAST FOOD CLEARED FOR ME WITH STEAK!! CRACKERS ARE MADE "MUSHY' WHEN YOU CHEW SO THEY LET ME HAVE THEM IN THE SOFT FOODS!!

2 MIN BETWEEN EACH BITE! IT FEELS LIKE FOREVER!! TAKES ABOUT 15MIN

I KNOW ABOUT WAITING AN HOUR AFTER I EAT TO DRINK BUT CAN WE EVER HAVE SOUP?
