I'm 3 weeks and on most regular foods. I eat chicken from my crock pot, meatballs, meatloaf, turkey burgers, cheeses, deli meats, veggie sausage with melted cheese, scrambles eggs with cheese and salsa, guacamole, etc.. Edit: I'm eating everything that was approved from my surgeon. He progressed me at my last check up . I'd suggest to do what your surgeon says.

I'm 3 weeks out and can eat 3oz of dense protein, and 4 oz of soft food like yogurt

What about warm liquids like tea or broth? Or sf ice pops?

I'm allowed to drink up until I eat, then no drinking during, and no drinking a half hour after

M surgeon said his first goal for me is to get to 27 BMI, then 25bmi. He never gave me a number of lbs to lose

Well, I don't know how open you are about your surgery, but what I do is when I ordered, I asked them for a take out container and explained that I can't eat much. When my meal came out I packed up all but what I knew I'd eat and took the rest home.

Wow, you look amazing!

I'd do a shake, also small things like cheese sticks, babybel cheeses, deli turkey or ham rolled up, yogurt.. Do you have access to a fridge?

Your doc told you to do that? I mean, I'm released to all protein/veggies (except raw) at 4 weeks too, but still no fruit or carbs till almost goal weight

I have severe sinus tachycardia so for me, I can get that high often, but it can definitely be from the stress of surgery and your whole body trying to readjust.

Same here. I have zero interest. But since surgery my husband and I have been having issues, so that could be part of it too.

Love your hair long!!

It's ok..I had diarrhea in the middle of the drug store while buying diapers for my son.. ironic huh? Then I got to drive all the way home before I could get cleaned up. Fun fun!

I'm 2.5 weeks out and even though my nut said to only count protein/water and not calories, I still track and take in about 500-700 calories per day. Before surgery, I'm assuming I took in 3,000+.

Amazing!! I remember when I first joined this site, you were either just sleeved, or just before you we're sleeved, and I've been following your journey! We were the same starting weight. I'm only 2.5 weeks out, but I hope to have the kind of success that you've had!

I must have read 100 posts like this when I was pre op, but its so different once your on the other side. I'm 2.5 weeks post op and moved on to soft foods. I lost 22lbs the first week and a half, and nothing in 6 days. I'm always hungry. I measure all of my foods, and eat the kind of foods I'm supposed to, but it seems to be a lot more then most at this stage. I can eat 4oz at a time and not be full, and I get hungry in between meals. I try not to graze, but sometimes the hunger gets me and I'll have a piece of cheese, or a small bit of yogurt. I'm getting in all of my Protein, and drinking 70+oz per day. I track everything and eat 500-700 calories a day easily. It doesn't help that I seem to have the "sleeve of steel" and nothing bothers me. Sorry for the vent, I'm just feeling a bit discouraged today.

We did a out 5 days out and I was fine

I was allowed to swallow pills since the day I got home, but the nurse said I could take the liquid kids if the pills gave me a hard time.

Awesome! I never felt any pain, never even used my pain pump in the hospital or filled my prescription. I've been back to my stay at home mom duties since day 3! The hardest part has been my mental battle with trying to overcome my food addiction.

Thanks everyone! My doctor said I'm only allowed to walk, no other working out yet, so I've been walking a lot. And proudgrammy, I don't actually eat 4 oz of cheese lol! But my meal plan says 2-3 oz of protein with 1.5-2 oz of veggie per meal. So if I eat 3 oz of chopped up chicken salad with 1.5 oz of really soft broccoli, that's what I meant

I'm with NY Bariatric group too! Had my sleev on July 3 with Dr. Angstadt!! They are amazinggggg

I don't think it would be bad unless your drinking straight lemons or lemon juice. Then, I'd worry about the acid, but if its diluted in water or squeezed over food then I don't see an issue.
