I had the sleeve done seven weeks ago. I remember my nutritionist and/or dr. said not to drink out of a straw. Does anyone remember how long we can't drink out of a straw? Is it three months?

I'm not necessarily wanting to try it. I was just curious.

I was sleeved on 4/29/13 and I was just wondering what would happen if I drank something with carbonation. Not necessarily pop. I know the dr and nutritionist said not to. I was just curious what would happen.

Sorry didn't mean to send that like 3 times

That's weird. I've been craving a Greek salad from Panera Bread for a while now. LOL... I'll be 5 weeks

That is so weird. I have been craving a Greek salad too, from Panera Bread. LOL... I have wanting one for a while now. I'll be 5 weeks.

Thank you all for insight. I know it won't be a big salad. lol... I would just like one with some chicken and veggies. I will wait a couple more weeks.

I am now 4 weeks out from sleeve. I want a big salad and was wondering how long I should wait before I eat lettuce? I would love nothing more than a nice chicken salad loaded with veggies. Also, how long did y'all wait to have raw veggies? Thanks for the feedback.

Thank you. I think I'll still wait until my doctor lets me go to regular diet. I just didn't know if it has to always be toasted.

I never really liked their ff ranch either. I will definitely have to try the tzaiki sauce. That sounds really good.

I'm almost three weeks out from the sleeve and I am on the bariatric soft part of the diet. I know that I can have bread as long it's toasted. Does anyone know: will I have to always toast the bread or is it only until you're so long out? Just curious.

I am about 13 days out, tomorrow is two weeks. Im still not really feeling hungry. Will I ever "feel" hungry or full again? I'm just not sure when I'm hungry and or when I'm full.

I'm 13 days out from surgery and my stomach still is bruised. Both from the heparin shots and on the incisions.

That's what I was thinking also. I have had some terrible gas. I've been burping like crazy. I called the dr and they told me to make sure I'm takin small bites, chewing really good, and takin my time to eat.

Thank you all for the input. I will check in with the dr.

It is the fork mashed. Basically any food that is soft enough to smashed with a fork.

I am 10 days out from surgery. After my week check up I was able to begin the mechanical diet. I have started having pain while I'm eating. After a few bites I get sharp pains in my upper belly and some pain in my left shoulder blade. This didn't start until I started this stage of the diet. Has anyone experienced these pains? Is it normal or should I call the dr?
