I agree, I used a straw early on because I could control the amount. Hang in there, I was really frustrated until about week 8, it's been better since.

Don't rush the food! I'm 6 weeks out and struggling. It's portion control. It was easier when I was on liquids only

Fabulous! Keep up the good work

I'm 6 weeks post sleeve. Really struggling with portions. I eat eat just about everything now but more than about 1/3 c comes back up. My brain says it tastes good but its tough to stop at such a small portion when 6 weeks ago I had big appetite.

Open Prilosec capsule and dump granules into small taste of apple sauce. I tear all my pills that way. Also the feeling you are having is likely esophageal spasms. Prilosec may help but also levsin. Good luck. Take it from me, do not rush the food issue. Full liquids was easier than soft.

It's okay to have expectations but try not to compare your progress to others. Work your program and trust

My first stall broke today. 17 days not 1 oz difference. Today down 2#. So hard but I know my water intake is not good.

That is terrific! Keep up the good work. I cannot imagine being that far down when you are only 4 weeks ahead of me.

After 17 days the scale finally moved. My patience were being challenged

I was super anxious about the day but I really took care of myself. Did not eat too much but practiced with a couple new foods and it went ok. Only regret, did not get my walk in, was in the kitchen all day.

I need to heed my own advice and get off the scale. I know I'm eating less and getting more exercise. Have to trust the process.

I have had a terrible pain in the left side of my abdomen. Was told they suture in muscle. Somedays are terrible. Sounds like most others gave not had it

Thanks for the note. I seriously think after all my years if dieting and failing, this would not work for me. You gave done fabulous! Congrats.

I stall at week 2 and not 1 oz lost since then. Trying to keep my chin up but enough is enough.

Hot tea health end me too. Small sips of protein. You are doing better with liquids than I did. At 2 weeks I was only doing 8-12oz a day.

Shocking that these insurance companies would rather pay for diabetes and all the complications that go with it.

I'm frustrated as I've been at a stall for 1.5 weeks. I know in my head it will start up again but I think it's PTSD from all my years of dieting. I know I not drinking enough water but it does not sit well.

48 and looking forward to feeling better. Sleeve oct 30 down 25#. Was in a stall for 1 week but never worried. Walking several days a week, clothes are feeling loose. This weight dud not come on over night, us not coming off over night.

Could you put cream cheese on very thin slices of turkey and roll. Good protein, would just have to chew well.

Tomatoes sounds very rough 3 weeks out. Oatmeal and Greek yogurt is a stretch. I ate 1/2 slice of frozen pizza though today. Chewed well. Boy did it taste good. Basically no meat yet although I'm supposed to be able to start thin sliced lunch meat this week

RJ's how far out are you? Thanks for the brighter outlook.

The full/bloated feeling for me starts after just a few bites. I too wonder if meals will ever not cause anxiety. Some days I simply do not want to eat because very little us eaten without some "icky" gut feeling.

I'm 3.5 weeks out and just experimenting with soft food. Yogurt is good and oatmeal. Also tried mashed and sweat potatoe. For me it's the portion. 1/4-1/3 c. That's it. My mind says more because it miss the taste.

We went to universal and there were several rides I could not do at 260#. I was embarrassed needless to say. Part of my decision to sleeve on Oct 30.

Totally not cool! This whole thing is such an adventure.
