I had three surgeries with Doctor veninga.. I reccomend him without a doubt

Can anyone else eat bread? Pasta? Anything? I can eat almost a whole hamburger...no joke..I can eat things like a breakfast burrito. Maybe it's because I was a Lapband patient before, and I haven't been able to consume many things in seven years...I'm in disbelief though. Feel like I did not have surgery and as if I took a step backwards or something. I know this is mind over matter or whatever but I cant express how I feel like I'm going backwards.

I had surgery July 31

Im 9 Weeks out and just recently have started to sleep on my side..it takes time

My worst pain was on the left. It's normal and goes away but after Weeks!

You are not alone! Im a revision too and am so tired of people asking me how much I have lost. (not that much) I dont count anyhow..and im not perfect..but yes I can relate to the slow loss:) I still have 45 pounds to loose =/

He was my surgeon

So I go for followups at my doctors office and im loosing about a pound a week. We are given a calorie equation and if the foods you eat arent under a certain amount they are considered "bad foods" I have calculated all sorts of nuts and they calculate as "unhealthy" I guess due to fat content? Does anyone else eat nuts? What kinds? This.is fairly sad to me since nuts have been a staple for me...and keep me full a little till I can reach actual food

So for the first time since surgery..I had some chicken nuggets. Got a 4 piece from McDonalds. How many nuggets can you eat like this? Silly question ..I know

I want to know if anyone eats the frozen fruit bars they sell at the grocery store. That say "real fruit, no sugar added" This weekend I purchased a box and they make me way to happy. Anyone else eat these?!?

Im going to ask the doctor this week...ill try and remember to post back

No just regular frozen fruit bars at Kroger. 25 calories each but they worry me some...I can two quickly. The sugar free popsicles, I get tired of eating...quick. Maybe that's the issue, I'm afraid of enjoying and that it may be a trigger food. I've had lots of stress in my life the past two Weeks and I think I'm using food as comfort.

Im sorry that happened. It doesn't sound fun. Hopefully everything is going well for you now. I think we all have struggles with this. You aren't alone

That's scary! I was just curious because I am also a revision patient!

How does a sleeve twist if its part of your connected stomache?

Thank you

Im six Weeks out..I haven't had good experience eating out..at all! And I've only tried a few things..its easier to just.cook

Hi there!! I'm 5 Weeks out tommorw...it's got rough patches this surgery..learning your body all over again and what to expect..but really first two Weeks are the hardest..im still learning..good luck!

Anyone started regular food ? I was supposed to start today, but dont even feel like it or a bit excited..anyone gone through this?

I would get muscle milk light..I dont like them now that I'm sleeved but they were a good change on the liquid diet before surgery
