I think you're right. I'm going to have to measure. I am so used to having big servings. That's how I got here. It's funny it didn't make me sick.

It was soupy.

Trying to eat slowly and really chew. I guess I need to cut back on the serving size and be careful.

Sorry, hit send too soon . My nut actually recommended chili, beans, etc. I was more concerned about the volume this early out. I'm terrified of getting back to eating the volume I was before surgery.

I was cleared for puréed foods at day 6. I made sure everything was very small and to really chew well. I was concerned about the volume c

I am 9 days out. I just ate 6.5 oz of homemade chili. Is that too much? I am full but not stuffed Definitely do not want to screw this up.

I was sleeved on 8/9. I lost 20 pounds on pre op diet and another 10 dusting my first week. I started at 410, so I have about 250 lbs to lose. Boy, that sounds daunting, but we can do this!

I am from Versailles, which is 15 minutes outside Lex. I work in Lex. I had my surgery at 8/9 at St Joe East and would luv to be your sleeve buddy. I am a big girl. Started pre op 5 weeks ago at 410. Now I weigh 381.

Bigbo, I'm so sorry. I know that had to make you about cry. Did they put you on a pre op diet? I lost 20 lbs in a month on the pre op diet. You can do it. We are here for you.

PH, I am 1 week out and felt the same way on day 3. T sobbed my eyes out. I promise the next few days will get better. Hang in there. Use this forum to get info/understanding. Remember, misery lives company

My biggest crave so far has been Doritos. I'm not a fan but the other day my hubby and I were watching tv and he was eating out of a LARGE bag. Smelled so good and I thought about them for hours. After he went to bed, I thought about licking the cheese off the Doritos...and putting them back in the bag I didn't, but it would have served him right

Tessues, your my hero! I'm going to look into the shredding vid.

Have you taken a shower yet? I felt like that until I did. Nausea?

I took a 16 oz water but ran out about an hour before we left.

I am 6 days out. I have moved to puréed food. I drank a protein drink this morning and went to a dr appt with husband. We were gone about 4 hrs. Starved when I got home. Had a bowl of powdered protein chicken soup. Hubby made chicken and dumplings. I gave had about 9 oz total today of the juice fom the dumplings. I've had 2 sf Popsicles and a sf hello. Just ate 2scrambled eggs. What the heck is wrong with me?

Wow! The difference is amazing!

You guys are all so encouraging. Would like to keep up with you guys and keep this forum going. I know there has to be a bunch of us out there. Strength in numbers

I'm thrilled to hear its doable. I started the pre op diet at 410. Today the scale said 384.5. I'm now on puréed food but feel like I could eat a cow. I would love to keep up with you guys over the months to see where we all are.

Wow, you guys are so impressive can I askhow much you weighed when you started and anything different or special you did?

Guess I wanted to talk to somebody to know its possible. How much have you lost so far? This much weight is undaunting.

Hi

Gave you found a protein drink you like? There's a nectar drink that has I believe 23 g protein in about 16 iOS. You mix it with water. It's thin like Crystal Light. I've been told to mix it with the cpCrystal Light but that makes it too sweet to me.

Would love to do that. How doi make one?

Elisa, you are absolutely right. Today is day 6 for me and I am drinking so much better. Thanks.

First, congrats on your 90 lb loss. That's awesome. I wonder if why you feel so bad s because you didn't follow the food stages. My dr says even if I follow the stages he sets out, sometimes folks have to step back to the previous stage a little longer. Have you talked to your dr?
