I am 1 month out and want to go to a movie really bad but I know I would be CRAVING popcorn...so if I chew it really well I should be able to have a few pieces? That is what I am catching the drift on...I am in the soft food phase and I know that the butter in the popcorn makes it mushy! I know I am supose to have low sugar, low fat but is a treat really going to kill me?

I know my surgeon took it out of one of the 7 incisions he made through a little tube that look like a turkey marinator. I didn't get to physically see it but he did show me which incision he took it out of! a slightly larger incision but it is still very small to imagine it came out of that. Also, if you go on Youtube you can find short 5 min videos of a sleeve being performed. Quite interesting I may say! What a few of them.

I was sleeved on July 30th and I have been authorized to start my soft foods!! I am wondering if anyone has had the Ambassador hot dogs. Also, my nurse said I should have soft veggies now so I am wondering if I chew Corn on the Cob really well if that is ok for my sleeve? Has anyone done this yet? It is picnic season and I would like to participate a little!!!

I am getting down fluids easier everyday!! I am one month out...I was struggling so much my first 2 weeks even getting 20oz down, now I am up to about 70oz!!

Stalls will come and go...I was sleeved on July 30th. My weight was 296 when I started my 10 day pre op diet, my surgery day I was 280 and today was my one month check up and I weighed in at 252!!! I am very excited but I did have my 3 week stall where I didn't lose more than 2 lbs for almost 10 days then it just started to fall off again!! Keep at it and it will dip down again. Congrats so far everyone!!! PS I never have taken my measurements...Should I be?

Today I went to my one month checkup and I have only vomitted one time so far. When I brought up my vomitting story to the nurse, she said that I ate too quickly and there was basically an obstruction so with the constant saliva going down my throat it would back up and then come out as vomit. Just eat slower and make sure you chew and you should be fine!!
