Oh gosh, I have been watching the lobster commercials, but then I think of those cheddar biscuits too:( I will go to costco and get a lobster tail instead:)

JP69 got a reaction from jacee in How many of you recent sleevers are hungry? February 26, 2013

Yes my Dr. said the same things. You will learn to listen to your body. I am 6 1/2 weeks out and I get really hungry if I go to long in between meal. But the crazy part is, you can be famished, but after 2oz you feel stuffed! Its crazy how the sleeve is such an awesome tool. It does boil down to choices. Do you want 2oz of protien or 2oz of chocolate or junk. You are gonna be hungry for real good food, and your cravings will slowly go away. you are'nt gonna want to waste what little food you can eat on something unhealthy. Good luck:)

I am 6 1/2 weeks out and I have only had bread once. It was whole wheat toasted very good and I could only eat a1/2 of a 1/2 after eating my egg. You eat your Protein first, then a few bites of veggies if I'm lucky and then I'm full. So bread just doesn't fit. Instead I eat crackers with chili and tuna etc...

JP69 got a reaction from TES in black specks in pee February 22, 2013

I had kidney stones 1 week out after surgery. My urologist said I definitely had the stones in my kidneys, but the stress from surgery could have helped release one. I to had the black specs, followed by me passing a 6 mm stone! It could be some very tiny stones that are breaking up as they come down to the bladder. If they are be thankful your not in pain.

Crackers are on some peoples list I am still on soft foods, but I never pureed them. Yeck!my Dr said as long as you chew it to a soft consistency before you swallow you should be fine. I have been eating everything I posted earlier since the beginning of week three with no problems, other than I do tend to eat to fast. Also on my list is toast, toasted really well as to get all the moisture out. But then again mot everybody can tolerate exactly what other people eat.

How do you get enough calories in when I am full at 1/2 to half cup of food?
I was thinking of eating between my meals or every two hours a few bites. It's so hard to eat all your food then try and get your Water in. Especially when you have wait before and after each time you each time you eat!

HI JP,
I am in the same boat as you, can't take more than 1/2 otherwise it feels like food will come back up. And water/fluids is challenging coz I have to wait, otherwise it feels weird going down. I had surgery with Dr. Robert Li, and Dr. David Le saw me post op. How nice to see another KP patient. I had my surgery 1/16/13.

JP69 got a reaction from roxannez in First Roadtrip. What do u eat? February 17, 2013

I would have ordered all that kind of food too. But they quit serving Breakfast at 12, and they had none of your other items on the menu. Was gonna go for a tuna melt and just take off the bread, but they didn't even have that. At least I did have a few bites of really good clam chowder:)

Yes, my Nut told me to get this one and I love it. It tells you according to what stages you are in, or weeks out.

Just received my bill from Kaiser. $21000.00 and some change. I was lucky and didn't have to pay a dime.

They have no right to ask. Because of Heppa laws. Only if u chose to tell them.

JP69 got a reaction from roxannez in My new BFF! The toaster oven! February 5, 2013

My toaster oven has been awesome! It's great for us sleevers who can only eat 2oz of Protein.< /p>
It's perfect for that little piece of fish, chicken, scallops, turkey burger etc....
I am sure I can even cook the infamous ricotta bake:)
