Just need some opinions....I had the band and bread, rice, pasta, tortillas, wraps or anything of the sort was an absolute NO because it would get stuck and be ugly.....is it the same with the sleeve....I'm not asking if I can eat a plate of spaghetti or anything but I made a chicken rice casserole for the family and was scared to death to have a small amount for fear that the rice would hurt me.....any advice would be appreciated

I posted here because I figured veterans can answer the question better than anyone....didn't try to break any forum rules

This is 3 weeks post op

You look amazing.....

My fitness pal

Don't beat yourself up....we are not perfect....tomorrow is a new day

Are you preop?

I'm 4 weeks post op and for breakfast I either eat an over hard egg and 1 morning star veggie sausage or kashi cereal with fat free skim milk....lunch is usually baby scallops or some type of fish or a morning star chicken patty (no room for sides) and dinner is pretty much the same as lunch....snacks I have the premier whole grain sea salt round crackers and put a little peanut butter on 3 crackers or a string cheese...if I have a good protein day I usually treat myself to a little bit of sugar free ice cream....or a pickle

Thank you that makes me feel better

I wasn't hungry until I actually started on real food....

I Thought the hunger hormone was removed but I swear I am hungry all the time....of course when I eat something is something very small and protein but what the heck....my belly just feels empty all the time....I'm 1 month post op

Forget it and move on.....don't dwell and focus on tomorrow

It is so funny you posted this because I just did this tonight....I made cheddar chicken and roasted Parmesan cauliflower and I tasted a small piece of chicken to see if its done and tasted the cauliflower and 1 little extra bite of the chicken and then that was it full capacity reached.....I had a long conversation with myself lol telling me I need to stop doing that....I'm 1 month out

Thanks everyone

I am down 28 lbs and that is all post surgery....thank you

It is great....im so happy with my decision

You look awesome

I know it's only 3 weeks but I'm very happy with my progress so I wanted to share

I promise that goes away and gets easier
