Thanks everyone for chiming in.
Regarding the P3 packs, I have made my own "bistro box". Sliced apple, chopped chicken, a mini Brie cheese, and Nut Thin crackers. Sounds like a lot but it's probably 5 crackers with those items topped.
The low carb honey wheat wraps are going well I only use 1/2 at a time and barely finish that. Not sitting too heavy in stomach. I also used to make a little veggie pizza. Great idea. Quick and easy.
Hope everyone is well.

Hello
I'm 4 weeks pre op (surgery in less than 30 days) and my husband and I tried for children for 5 years. Hoping that once I'm healthy and losing the weight - that I too will be able to experience children. Anyone out there have their 1st child after the sleeve and how far out before getting pregnant? I know at least 1 year is recommended.

I've never been the best eater. And I get home so late some times that cooking is just not an option I buy frozen meals like lean cuisine or Atkins and stock them in the freezer. Even if I don't eat the entire tray of beef merlot, at least I know that it is a finite quantity that doesn't allow me to graze. If you only eat half a tray, just put .5 in in myfitnesspal (or wherever you track).

61 as of this morning. 28 preop so it feels slow to me. But still, 60 gone! Finally have some stamina back. Some days better than others!

I did and he is the best! Such a nice man

I am 4 weeks out & I stick to tuna salad with cottage cheese for lunch & a shake for Breakfast. I tend to do scrambler eggs & Beans for dinner & the only carbs I've had that didn't give me trouble was whole wheat crackers & polenta. I don't have either often but when I crave a crunch, soft wheat crackers are as far as I will go right now. bread & tortillas still scare me
Good luck!

Hi all! I am 6 weeks out and down 39 lbs. i haven't had any real bread, Pasta or rice, but I was craving something with a little more substance so I bought Wasa light. It's a multigrain crackerbread. One cracker, which is a nice size, is about 22 calories. I add a laughing cow wedge and a slice of boar's head turkey and I am full for less than 100 calories...delicious. Sometimes I replace the turkey which perdue chicken cuts diced really small and add avocado. Very satisfying!

Walmart had it. It was what my dr suggested I use and it was tasty. Even my picky family enjoyed it.

I love all these ideas!!! Eight weeks today for me. I've looked for the Protein Snacks, but still haven't seen them in my grocery. I keep baggies of almonds as my go to snack, 16 to be exact. Our offices had BBQ today. I took the standard serving and divided into 5 servings for me. My worst eating to date has been to enjoy a bit of Birthday cake. It was nice that I was satisfied with a tiny bit then dispose of the rest. food has been a new experience for me but sweets may still be my downfall.
Keep those ideas coming!!

When I pack a lunch I usually do a few slices of lunch meat and a cheese stick. I'm only 6 weeks out so not very adventuresome yet.

I'm a'scared of the carb right now. My first day on solid foods, my boss bought in pizza to Celebrate (at my request). I had one slice and it sat like a brick. I wanted to take a nap. And it was delicious. But I find I do much better without the white flour stuff. Peanut Butter and nuts are trigger foods for me, so those are no good. But I pack cans of tuna and sardines, Protein powder (stevia sweetened), and occasionally some beef Jerky. Hard boiled eggs are always on hand in the fridge. And I do have baked Beans from time to time.
A new love is blending plain greek yogurt and pineapple with a little coconut extract and freezing that in popsicle molds.
Be well…

I live in North Attleboro. Sleeved on 3.18.14 by Dr. Glascow at Norwood hospital. Doing really good.

8 pounds away from Easter Goal. It might be unhealthy to lose that much by Sunday. But I'm pushing for it!

I'm 6 wks out now & absolutely thrilled with my progress. Absolutely no food issues & now on full diet. I walk a 5k each day and do gym 3x a day.
I feel it's time for me to move on with my life now. Good luck to all the March Sleevers! I only have time for my blog postings but I will check in here every 3 or 4 months if I have time.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL ON YOUR JOURNEYS!

Awesome CrazeyJaney! Same here 1 month anniversary. 30 pounds pre op and 22 post op. Today I go to another appointment and change over to solid foods. I hope eating my Proteins instead of drinking or slurping them will help the energy levels and some more weight loss.

Day of surg: 297 3/13/14
One month post op: 275
I'm just glad the stall seems to be lifting.

Hey there March Sleevers! Just checking in. Today is my month anniversary. Feeling good. Stall has moved on. I hit 50 pounds lost today! Very exciting. That stall sucked! I measured myself tonight and I've lost 22 inches all over. Biggest loss was in boobs (go figure) and they are pathetic now. Wow! Had no idea they would droop that much so quickly! Ugh. Anyway, just wanted to encourage everyone to measure. I think I would not have been such a nutcase about the stall had I measured sooner. Sure has been an interesting month! Hope all of you are doing ok.

I'm 5 weeks PO today and feeling really great. sleeping on my stomach yeah. Walking do much more and further. I'm still exhausted by 8:00 at night but I've been keeping active all day at least. I'm down 28 lbs since surgery and still on mostly soft foods. I go back to the dr Thursday.

Hey! I've been catching up on work and haven't been on here in a week or so. I took find I have stalls. Also sleeved on 3/18. Some days I wake up and nothing has changed on the scale. Then other days I wake up and another two pounds is gone. Solid foods start Tuesday. I'm so nervous.
