If the nurse says its normal then your fine. Had a drain put in and it sucked, but best believe everything is in place where it needs to be.

I wish I could only eat those foods. Looking back, it took me about an 1 1/2 to eat that plate. Most of the time I had to go very slowly and eat little by little.

Thanks. It is a blessing and a curse i suppose being able to tolerate those foods so early on. To be honest thought the difference between pre and post sleeve is that I don't "crave" it. I only eat foods like that if they're readily available to me like yesterday. Not only that , I ate so much less than what I would have pre sleeve. It's back to protein protein and more protein today!!!!

Thanks

Hey everyone!!! I'm wondering if anyone on here has had problems with certain foods. I'm 5 weeks out and have trouble eating things like lettuce, onions, and anything green. However during the Super Bowl I was able to eat things like pigs in a blanket, a chicken wing, chocolate covered strawberries, a pastello (it's like an empanada ), and a bunch of devil eggs. So my questions is what's up with the green food v.s the carbs the body can take/not take? I honestly thought I'd get sick and was eating very slowly, but it took.

Enjoying my "fat" day today, just can't really as much as my old "fat" days.

I admitted this to my nutritionist that I smoked after surgery while I was on the purée staged. Ended up eating puréed lasagna and had heartburn for days. Honestly after 5 weeks post op most of my "cravings" are head hunger / "old habits". I think if I smoke weed again it might give the munchies, but can't eat as much.

I think what your feeling is normal. Someone who has had the sleeve for only a month and had struggled with anxiety/depression for years the feelings after a major change to your body is acceptable. It is a huge change and something you never did before so why wouldn't you be anxious. I doubt your going to start talking to yourself because what I think your referring to is schizo type behaviors and have to do with the amount of dopamine in your brain and not your stomach being removed. But as the other guy said all your horror - mones are all jacked up because of the surgery so it's normal.

I'm so glad someone posted about this because I was worried about what I was gonna do about school and meals in a couple weeks.

Feel better soon!!!!

I didn't realize how big of a role food played in my life. Honestly I thought I'd feel better when it came to the puréed stage because I could have my meals that I loved only puréed. Well I was wrong. I've been taking this stage so for granted because here i am not really taking it seriously and it's bitten me in the ass. I feel horrible because I've been feeding myself crap my body isn't ready for and it's definitely telling me I'm not ready. Anybody feel this frustrated with puréed stage???

I've been keeping active and the liquids have helped.

Felt exactly the same way around the 3rd or 4th day. It's the WTF did I do to my body mode. It will get better and soon you will be like what surgery???

I am 5"5' 1/2 and my original goal was 170 but I'm changing it to 160. The reason I choose 160 was I never looked "right" as a skinny chick. I love my curves, having boobs and an ass. I think it would make me unhappier being too skinny than being thick. I love being right in the middle. I am squeezing into a size 18 pre op and post op I'm almost nicely fitting into a size 18/3x/2x with almost 20lbs lost 2 weeks post op. i'll be happy with a size 11 and wearing large shirts. My main goal is to be healthy and out of way for diabetes high blood pressure and all those not so nice co morbidities. Looking good to me is just a nice little perk I'm going to enjoy !!!!

I have baby food as a back up but I've been really trying to eat more "adult" foods than just baby foods. Thanks for the suggestions.
