Just talked to my NUT, she's deferring the gum question back to my surgeon's office, so waiting for their answer. I typically only chew gum when I work out Yes I was very excited to try eggs today!!! It's the little things in life really

yes I experienced hunger post op, it baffled me to. My surgeon said, yes you will experience hunger. I ate light progressive chicken poy pie soup (strained of course) and added unflavored protein powder to it, it's a creamier broth so with the added protein it seemed to drive the hunger away, longer to, hope this helps, once all your post op incision pain is gone and you start dropping weight, you will be glad you did it

Glad your not "starving yourself thin" I was just excited to have finally graduated to pureeds and had a couple bites of mashed potatoes, wasn't looking for a lecture or even input, I was just excited Obviously, mashed potatoes will NOT be apart of my daily food intake, but I did enjoy the 2 bites I took, plus it was the first time I felt full since being sleeved, so it was my personal victory.....that's it

Scrambled egg 1/3cup and it was filling. I hated eggs pre-sleeve, but it tastes yummy today, probably because I haven't chewed anything in over 4 weeks When did you start chewing gum? Post-sleeve??

Stupid question, but why are some of you even trying to find your slider food?

Do you have a dietician you can call?? I'm 3 weeks out, just had 2bites of mashed potatoes today and was satisfied

I was told NO pop ever again, the carbonation WILL stretch the sleeve, why risk it?

What's a slider food?

Kitty chick I can COMPLETELY understand. I'm stressed out about eating all the time too! I move to pureeds tomorrow and I'm freaking out about the extra calories

Fullofit, could I have your chicken salad recipe? I love chicken salad??

Leo, My dietician said to be careful with beans bc they cause gas, did you find that to be the case?

When did you move to puréeds? Did you continue losing weight? I'm terrified I won't continue to lose weight?? What was your go to puréed recipe...... Help

Thx everyone

Sassy pants, Thank you for responding, I really appreciate it!! It helps me a lot. I tend to be too anal , so your post was a good reminder to relax

When can one have sex after surgery?

I'm right there with you, sleeved on 2-3, at first the weight was flying off, now the scale isn't moving, it's highly frustrating, totally get that! But we need to stick to getting in our protein and enough water..... That mean ole scale will start moving again, when our body stops throwing its tantrum

How did you do it? Did you workout? How often? What was your caloric intake while losing? I was sleeved on 2-3, I have 140 more pounds to lose. When I got home from the hospital, the weight seemed to fly off, I lost 40lbs like bam, I have no clue if this type of weight loss will continue or if I need to really work at it??? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Side note, I just started back to the gym, doing cardio for 50 mins, burning about 300 calories, I'm trying to keep my calories down to 600-635, I'm still on liquids and am staying on them for an additional 2 weeks, by my own decision. I don't want to screw up this awesome opportunity with the sleeve

Thx, I needed that! I'm still low in my protein, so working in that. So for example Un eating 620 calories but like today burned 582 calories exercising

I'm still on liquids and planning to stay on liquids for a total of 4 weeks. So I'm eating about 500-600 calories a day. I'm kinda freaking out to go to pureed, bc I'm afraid to increase my calories. Anyone else in this boat?,

Katt, thx

To eat about 4-6 sugar free popsicles post op?? My husband is worried bc they have a sugar substitute

Did you all advance to puréed in time? I'm planning to stay on liquids for 4 weeks vs 2 bc the weight is melting off, it's crazy. Did any of u stay on liquids longer?

Henshould I expect this crazy weight loss on liquids to end? I don't want it to end but I know it's going to

You look fabulous!!! Thanks for sharing. I'm 13 days post op, so this is very encouraging!!!!

I'm still on my 2 week liquids post op, I've decided to stay on liquids 2 weeks longer, so I will be on liquids for a total of 4 weeks post op. anyway, curious what others are eating while on liquids? I can tell you I'm living on the following concoction 1cup Greek yogurt, splash of skim milk, then mix together a scoop of unflavored protein powder with 1/2pack sugar free jello (dry ingredient--whatever flavor u like), 1packet of stevia. Mx yogurt, splash of milk, dry ingredients in blender and blend to yogurt constituency. Really yummy
