I had a HUGE problem with this at first too. I honesty started to eat so often, that I tried following the guidelines and it's true, you really do stay full longer.

I tend to drink a warm cup of chicken broth. 5 calories per bullion cube, and it tides me over for a bit. If I'm still hungry an hour later, I eat something. I stalled for a bit because I started grazing a lot.

Don't do it. They have no nutritional value and they are a slider. A waste of calories.

No drinking 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after That's what I follow.

Cottage cheese was my lifesaver. Try some baby food for more flavor

These are mine. Took me a while to find something I tolerate and these taste kind of bad. But something is better than nothing. I did take gummies at one point as well as I thought the chewables were disgusting. But these are small and more bearable.

And the vitamin levels....

This is what I take. It's smaller than an altoid and tastes like butt. You can chew it up and knock it back with a small sip of water. It's helping me get my vitamin levels back up.

An egg and a chicken sausage is way too much food for so early out. Embrace your sleeve, and really enjoy the smaller portions that you have now. My Breakfast is always 1 whole egg and a pinch of cheese. 100 calories. I'm 10 months out.

Give them a small nibble, chew chew chew, and wait for a reaction. My first salad, I ate a lot of lettuce. It freaked me out, but veggies chewed up really well take up less space than other foods.

Pre sleeve, depo helped me put on 74 pounds. I'm birth control free and use condoms now after the sleeve.

I was around 7 weeks. A salad never taste so good! Lol

Mid 30's

I stalled around there for about a month. I feel your pain. Hang in there! It'll get better!

I'm in! CW: 185 GW: 175

When eating out, I always split a plate with another person. I hate having left overs

Mines about half that, but every day. It's finally growing back, I'm almost 10 months

How far out are you?

I never get hungry before my period, but during ovulation. Crazy, right? I crave junk but try to make small better choices. Compared to eating a quart of ice cream preop, I now have a small spoonful and that's that. I don't deprive, I'm all about portion control And I agree, I just magically dropped 4 pounds. Being a woman has it's perks lol

Everyone has stalls. You're too early out to think that you failed. I stalled for 4-6 weeks at one point. And yes, I also thought I was a sleeve failure. You're doing everything right, give it some time and be patient. Talk to your NUT if you have concerns about your food, you should also try writing down what you're eating. You'd be surprised how those little meals can add up. Chin up and hang in there!

Right after surgery, I was lucky if I could get more than 3 sips in at a time. Follow what your surgeon said but be careful and don't push

Congrats! Keep taking pics every step of the way. You'll be amazed!

Any 300+ sleevers a year out? Just wondering what I'm looking at by the year mark. Today marks 9 months since my life changed

Day 1 sucked. And so did day 2. I'd rate it at... 4-5 out of 10. I've never had children, and this is my first surgery.

I have never been a fan of carbonation, can I drink soda? Yes and I don't feel that it does much in the stretching aspect. However, if you can kick the soda habit, then do it! Take this time that you will be without to think about what you want to change because this is the perfect opportunity! Everything in moderation
