I never ate the pureed foods I stuck strictly to applesauce popsicles. premiere Protein Shakes for Sam's Club or Costcos they are 30 grams of Protein and taste better than the powder protein shakes. Plus there is no yucky smell. You should ask your doctor for a acid reducer to help with you out. I hope my advice helps you a little and I hope things get better for you really soon.

It has been a long beautiful journey but the progress I have made makes me want to work harder. 45lbs to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!! You are looking great.

well my doctor and nutritionist allow me to have fruit once I started on soft foods. But the fruit I can have is by dole the cups of fruit that is sugar free. You should try that it may help with your craving.

Shopping is still limited. No need in going out and buying a whole lot of food unless you have a family to feed. I am 5 months out and I normally just get a few vegetables chicken breast fish eggs bacon a watermelon or cantalope my Protein Shakes and crystal light. I do not spend anywhere near what I use to spend on food and It is exciting to know I save so much in that area now.

I was sleeved January 14, 2013 I am down 79 pounds. I need to lose a total of 150 pounds so I am half way there now. I hope I can do it. Good luck to all of you as well.

You look so amazing!!! I am only 3 months out but I love my sleeve as well. 67 pounds down in 3 month I would have never been able to do this without my sleeve. Yay you and everyone else on this journey.

Congrats. Glad you broke your stall they can truly be a pain in the but. Cheers to more losing

Are you are eating any starchy foods? I am 13weeks out 61 pounds down I have not had a stsll but my nut doesn't want me to eat bread rice Pasta potatoes any thing with starch or flour only meat and vegetables and no sugar at all splenda or sweet and low. Also please don't drink your calories in juice sugar free drinks only I by lipton diet tea zero calories crystal light and Water see if that works. I also was not on a preop diet.

My doctor or Nutritionist didn't put me on a pre op diet only thing they said was give up my favorite drink in the whole world (diet coke) that was the hardest for me. Not having a pre op diet worked for me because I had a very smooth surgery was back to work 3 days later. I am 8 weeks out and down 47lbs.

what was your outcome from the dr office

I am doing so much better. They found nothing wrong my illnesses passed after receiving a shot for nausea. Thanks for your concern.

Hi January Sleevers,

I was Sleeved Janaury 14, 2013. I am just 6 and a half weeks out. I am feeling great. I am 5'7 and down 36 pounds and I still have just over 90 to go. How are you doing after surgery. How much are you down? What are your goals?

Starting weight 297

Current weight 261

Goal weight 170

I had surgery Monday January 14th, 2013 and

I will admit that I am lazy always have been that why I was over weight in the first place. I always avoided stair or unnecessary walking. I would eat like a pig. Now I am the type that loves fried chicken it was my all time favorite food, I ate it atleast 3 to 4 times a week sometimes 2 or 3 times a day. Doing that with no exercise or physical activity had me weighting 299lbs at my highest that was ridiculous. But now even though I am still a bite lazy i eat what I am suppose to and I DO make my lazy but get up and go to the gym at least 3 days a week. But bringing my mom and sister along with me really makes me go they are like my support team. Dont think I would go without them. But I do admit I am a lazy butt young lady.

I can't figure put how to add people from my phone. Please add me Fitvers. Thanks!

Yea that did I was doing fine til 4days ago now nothing will stay down.... I am so scared and it's the weekend now I want be able to talk to surgeon til Monday. I hoping I a bare this through the weekend. .... it has me so weak

Is anyone having issues keeping anything in there sleeve. .... I can't keep Water down juice Protein Shakes nothing..... everything comes back up within about 15 to 20 minutes is this normal.... this has been going on for 4days now please help.

Yes.... They have Protein capsules... 20mg per capsule... It's whey protein... Got it from a body builders store... I swallow them just like when I take my b12

What is the name of them I have to get some of those

I will try grits and refried Beans

Sent from my iPhone using VST

My nut doesn't allow grits. Until six months..... that also goes for oatmeal bread rice pastas.... she say they slow down weight loss

wow that is great. What kids of work do you do? I work at Home Depot and the store is huge. I am going to ask my Dr for a note to make sure I am on light duty.

I work in a print shot with high powered printers. ...printing and binding books

I am very nervous about the transition time. I work full time and I am only taking a week off from work.

I had surgery on Monday January 14th, 2013 I went home on Tuesday January 15, 2013 I was back at work. Friday January 18, 2013.

My nut does not recommend puree because many people dont like it. She suggest that once at that stage chew food until its very fine... try that I think it would be a lot better than the actual puree

I felt the same way. I couldn't keep any of those disgusting Protein shakes down. Until a few days ago I found this Protein shake it has 20grams of Protein. Its by Sunkist natural and very delicious they can be found at Winn Dixie by the vegetables and at Albertsons grocery store no sure exactly where. But give it a shot.
