  1. I was sleeved on 1/27/14. HW 307 (1 week prior to surgery) SW 298, CW 259. I love the Campbell's home style chicken chili. 1 container is 3 servings for me. Another go to is shredded chicken breast with 1/2 of a small avocado and lemon pepper. Cottage cheese. Refried Beans mixed with chicken broth and salsa is delicious. As I type I am trying my 1st Protein bar, Atkins dark chocolate decadence bar (10grams of protein, 1g of sugar, 150 cal, 4 net carbs). I am not a "sweets" person but once in a while it's a nice treat. I also love plain Greek yogurt with diced cucumbers, lemon juice, garlic and mint. I tried shrimp but couldn't eat more than one piece, it felt like it was stuck for about 20 minutes, stomach spins and lots of saliva and nausea....does that happen to anyone else? I really struggle with getting enough protein in. It is still hard for me to eat without some pain and discomfort, I know this will pass with time. I also get full very quickly. I have been taking miralax daily! This is a MUST for me due to severe constipation on a few occasions, I do not want to go down that road again!. I have always been a Water drinker so that is all I drink except when I need to force myself to drink a dreaded Protein shake. I am going to start exercising tomorrow on the elliptical. This week the weight loss has slowed down and I will be surprised if I lost a pound when I weigh in tomorrow. The scale has not moved but a few ounces. Any recipes would be greatly appreciated . I am so happy I had the surgery and am staying positive. Great job everyone!
  2. I am 5 weeks out after gastric sleeve surgery. I can honestly say, I was very afraid after surgery because I couldn't hold down anything. I was regretting my decision and realizing I couldn't take it back. But now.....I feel so much better! I have energy, can hold food down and am so excited for this journey. So my answer to you is Yes, the horrible feeling you have will pass. The first 3 weeks were tough but each day gets better
