I was sleeved in jan and be out to lunch and dinner several times, just have to find something on the menus that is on the healthy side, I was just doing soups in the beginning, last week went to Applebee's and ordered a 4oz steak off the children's menu My wife jokes with me telling me I'm a cheap date, lol.

I found a recipe to make califlower pizza on internet, so I decided to try it today, it came out great and I added all the ingredients to my fitness pal which came out to 280 cal, 18 grams carbs, 23 grams protein for the whole pie, I was only about to eat 1/4 of it. Next time I'm gonna try it with different topping like buffalo chick with low fat blue cheese. Here is the recipe: http://www.fitsugar.com/Low-Carb-Cauliflower-Crust-Pizza-Recipe-30739512.

I was denied, my insurance is prescription corp of America.

That's awesome, keep up the great work.

Congratulations.

Don't get discouraged, everybody loses weight different, I'm about 11 weeks out and according to my dr's plan I should be eating around 800 calories a day with 60-80 grams protein and at least 64oz of water. I also try to get some type of light exercise everyday either at the gym or around the house. I know my wife's weight goes up and down especially if it's around that time of the month for her.

I'm about 11weeks post op and feeling great, been out to eat a couple times but usually just got soup. Yesterday went to Applebee's with the family and my youngest was looking at the children's menu and said hey dad they have a 4oz steak that would be perfect for you and it comes with mozzarella sticks, which we could share if you want. we all started laughing then after thinking about it I was like that's actually a good idea so I went ahead and ordered it, you could choose from a bunch of different sides but since I knew the steak would be plenty so I got the mozzarella sticks for the boys. let me tell you that steak was the perfect size for me and the price was great, which was around $6, will defiantly be ordering this again.

Glad to hear everything is ok, your right about that little pillow, defiantly was a life saver.

Great job, keep up the good work.

I think dunkin donuts coffee one of he only things I was craving after surgery, I waited about a week before 1st cup

Just curious what kind of strength programs and routine you guys are using I'm about 5 weeks post op, for the last couple weeks I've been out walking, using the treadmill or usng the elliptical machine for about 30-40 mins a day, but looking to add some different types of training in to mix it up.

It's pretty simple I use the chicken in a can, light Helmans mayo and spicy brown mustard. The canned chicken breaks up realy fine so it was easy on the stomach.

I started riding again about a month post op.

I also forgot to add to the list of puréed foods tuna and chicken salad.

I started the puréed stage 10 days out, scrambled eggs, refried beans, yogurts, chili and soups. I'm a little over a month out and still dropping, making sure I get my proteins and water in

My dr told me that the dumping syndrome is more common with bypass patients, but you can get it with the sleeve especially early on during the liquid and purée stage. I'm very new at this, just about 4 weeks out and had been very lucky, the only time I felt sick was when I accidentally ate one bite to much and it felt like it came out faster then it when down, but my upper stomach / chest felt like a truck parked on it.

I'm just over 4 weeks out, dr said most recovery time is 3weeks but because of occupation as a cop he had me out for 4 weeks

I'm only 5 weeks and prior to surgery I felt the same way, but like the others I feel better everyday. When I'm out to dinner with the family I stick to broth based Soups or broiled fish for now.

Congrats and good luck.

Tried to do a fancy dinner tonight to change things up alittle 4oz flounder, couple broccoli florets and half of a small potatoe baked in the oven with lemon juice salt and pepper, according to my fitness pal this totaled 156 calories, 8 grams carbs, 6 grams fat and 18 grams protein. The only problem was being only 3 weeks post op once I finished the flounder I was done. I guess my eyes are bigger then my stomach, literally.

Since I've been off of work I became addicted to "diner, drive ins and dives" and chopped, doesn't really make me hungry I just find all the crazy ingredients interesting and try to incorporate them in some of the foods I can eat to spice things up a little bit.

Wow that's awesome, congratulations

That's so awesome how supportive you are, keep going with the encouragement and stay positive, as others have said stalls are common, I think the scale is only part of it, the other part is how you feel and how much better clothes fit. Losing 55lbs is nothing to sneeze at.
