Well the creamy shrimp bisque was delish! I actually bought a bunch of other ones on amazon that are used. Wayyyyyy cheaper!

Tonight I was making shrimp soup and once it was all done, before pureeing mine I tossed a shrimp in my mouth, chewed it and spit it out. I just wanted the feeling. Lol. I did it w mozzarella cheese too.am I going crazy? 9 days post op.

When do you move up? I'm full liquids with a little purée thrown in till Friday. Then full on purée. I bought Lipton noodle soup and drink that broth. It has a different flavor and the noodles sink so no worries there. Jello? My husband made some the other day for his son that has evaporated milk in it to make it creamy. I didn't have any but they thought it was good.

I bought the cookbook 'eating well after weight loss surgery' by Levine and Bonypo- Saray. It looks fantastic. Making my first meal tonight.

Lol I had a feeling you would! My husband told me I feel like a different person. Loving this!

Lol I have gotten on everyday! Some days I was a bit higher than the previous day. But all in all it's been a downward slope. I would have asked them to buy a scale. I just had to know lol.

Thanks! I haven't started working out yet. But I do walk....a lot. Maybe I'll try some of those higher calorie protein drinks. Good idea, thanks!

OMg, I'm shocked! But on the other hand, when your only ingesting a few hundred calories a day it's inevitable, right? How do some of you get in 1000 or more?

Thanks, just ordered one.

Thanks,! I walk all the time now too

Am 8 days post op and just wondering when the rest of you were able to start circuit training? I have no desire to do anything other than walk now, but I am just wondering.

I woke up this am and found my self at 252. After my shower around noon I was 247. Lol try weighing at a different time.

I've had a twinge under my left boob all day.

Oh wow....I can still feel it 1/2 hr later. This sucks. Maybe I'll just wait to get hungry to eat. I'm trying to do 3 meals and 2 snacks.

I take a few baby spoons of liquid food ( pears in the blender with the pear juice today) and it feels like I'm done. Is it possible to get that squeezing after just that?

My TJs is really reasonably priced. I love everything there!!

It's on my list of full liquid foods. Hmmm..... Maybe I'll have that for lunch today.

Do any of you have a medical alert bracelet? I think I read somewhere that this is important after bariatric surgery. Thoughts?

I am having a heck of a time trying to get food in. 1 wk post op yesterday and cant seem to take in much. The protein shakes give me incredible diarrhea, so I've been trying yogurt. The issue, I can only get maybe 2 oz in before I get horrible chest pain. I wish protein came in a pill!

I agree 100% about enjoying the flavor then being done. That is what is bothering me today

Sorry I know it's a sleeve... But since mine is so new and swollen I've been calling it my little food pouch

I was just curious what everyone does....

I'm a week out today too! Funny how far you can come in such a short time. As for the scars, I had 4 csections so these are just more to add.

Whew....thanks guys. I was really worried!

I just woke up and consumed, while not thinking about it, 22 oz of water in a relatively short time (20-30 min). No food yet though. Now I'm paranoid! Did I stretch my pouch? On the other side, wow I can't believe that at 1 wk post op I could drink so much so fast! Last week it took me half the afternoon for that!
