I felt that way too! It will get better!

I felt that way too! It will get better!

I believe it! I havent thrown up once...thank goodness! I would rather eat a little less than risk getting sick. I think that the key is chew, chew, chew and eating slow. I put my fork down in between bites.

Lol! I was too but I was hungry and eager to get back to somewhat normal. Keep in mind that I eat very very small amounts. I get a variety but I also make sure that any food that I eat is shredded or minced and I chew chew chew!!!! So while its not pureed it is soft by the time it goes down. I have lost 19 pounds and feel good. Just wish I could hold more so that im not hungry so often but as I heal that will come. Im not rushing that! When Im full....Im full! :-)

Can I get added go the facebook grp? My email is jlinnea2003@yahoo.com

Im post op 9/16. Im eating all regular foods bit I do drink two protein shakes a day. I have not eaten any red meat. I have kept my diet to fish, shredded or minced chicken and turkey. I have headaches but I did before my surgery. Im headed to the neurologist for some relief hopefully. The main thing is that I dont eat anything unless it contains protein.

I wish my husband and I were doing rhia together. Its hard to share w someone that hasnt been sleeved.

Are any of u all on myfitnesspal.com?

I made homemade turkey meatballs for dinner tonight. Yum Yum! We had whole wheat pasta and sauce w them. Of course, I ate about 1/2 of my meatball and abt 1/2 ounce of pasta. It was so tasty though. My husband was reluctant bc I used ground turkey but ended up being surprisingly pleased! :-)

How is everyone doing? Im so eager to hear your stories and see if I am doing ok...:-)

Yes u do! :-)

U will! :-)

Awesome!

I didnt have to loose any weight...in fact I was told not to loose any bc I wouldnt qualify but i did gain wait during my 6 mo supervised visits w my pcp. No biggie.

The psych I saw said that if ur doing stuff right 80% of the time then ur on track. U cant deprive urself bc that will make u go crazy when u do get something.

Its a powder that my dietitian recommended. It is 100% protein. No carbs, no sugar....and unflavored so u can add it to anything. Cold or hot. Google it....the prices r good on amazon and u to an get just one can to try.

They r.....i basically still eat soft foods....shredded chicken, guacamole, soft cooked veggies..although I did pick up some nuts today. My dietitian said that I must have healed quickly and that its not a bad thing. I have not once got sick and have tolerated everything as normal. I still have cottage cheese protein shakes, pickles without the skin...I have lost 19 pounds and had my surgery 9/16! I walk almost every morning.

I ordered the Beneprotein today to increase my protein. I am planning on adding it to some of the foods that I would like to have or try but dont contain any protein or very little.

Oh good! Idk....they said soft foods after my one week post op so I tried different stuff each day and then checked with my dietitian and approved. Im a hungry girl tho. I eat my protein and my shakes and snack so Im eating 6 very small meals a day 40-60g of protein at this time.

Are u able to download the app myfitnesspal.com? U can follow friends on there and see everything they record. Its cool. If not let me know and I will post them on here. Just have to figure it out. My username is jessicajfinch on myfitnesspal

But i dont eat the skin on the pickles lol

Im 2 weeks post op and i eat pickles, shredded chicken, bananas, pineapple, whole grain items....

I am 2 weeks post op and im eating regular foods again. I sent my dietitian a copy of my menu and she was pleased. She said that she was going to use them as sample menus in class. If u wanna see them, let me know. Ive had to find my way.
