    Grits?

    If you are on full liquids, many surgeons say yes, but make sure you water them down a bit. They should be runnier than you are used to eating them.

    Ads On This Website!

    I've never seen any ads on this site. Is that on the mobile app? I only access from the web so maybe it's different?

    "just Eat Already!"

    Wow, I just read through this whole thread. I want to tell you I am so impressed with your attitude. You have been going through sheer hell and have managed to keep yourself respectable and pleasant. That says a lot!! I'm so sorry you've been having so many troubles. Just keep looking ahead to the day when this is all behind you. hugs.
  4. I suggest fast food milkshakes. Not the healthiest, but they sure pack in the calories.

    Alone?

    I also went alone. The coordinators direct you every step of the way and there are nurses to help with the aftercare so you really don't need anyone there with you. I'm sure having your hubby would be a comfort, but it's really not necessary.

    Question About Food Timeline

    Your nerves are still healing. Which means that even though your stomach tolerated the fish just fine, it might be because your tummy is still a little numb from the surgery. Please follow your surgeon's recommendations because you don't want to risk causing a leak by putting too much pressure on your staple line this early out. I know it's hard, especially when you seem to tolerate food without any issues, but the guidelines really are there for a reason. Hang in there, you'll be able to eat solid food again before too long.

    Disappointed

    I'm always a little surprised when I read posts like this. I know we all want the weight to come flying off and I know that it seems like it should considering we eat so little. However, you are only 33 days out. In 33 days you have lost 27 pounds! Think about that, 27 pounds in 33 days! That is beyond incredible! Especially considering that your body during this time has also been recovering from a traumatic injury (surgery). So what if it takes a little longer to lose, you're still going to lose it. Try to have a little patience and let the sleeve do it's thing. It will work for you and your body will let go of the weight when it's ready. xoxo.

    One Year Post Op

    Wow. You look great! You're looking younger too which is a nice bonus! I agree that the right kind of carbs are important. It's not good to load up on refined sugary carbs, but the body was meant to use the good complex carbs for energy and fuel!!
