I was sleeved April 4, 2014. I have lost 57 pounds since my pre-op diet. I am really getting nervous that I am going to stretch out my sleeve and fail miserably. I find myself cheating, here and there. I get so mad and disappointed in myself! It's a slippery path downward... And I am going down! I am struggling to accept my new relationship with food. I find myself eating just because I haven't eaten and not because I am hungry. I don't want to fail at this...

Thanks! I can't really see it.

Let me know what u think about the t25. I have seen it advertised so many times and I am really considering getting it! Good Luck!

Has anyone tried Hormel "rev" pre-made Wraps with 19 grams of protein?

I didn't follow my post op diet very well. I stayed on fluids for the first week, after that I Slowly began adding foods. I would try a few bites of grits, refried beans, eggs and chicken. I would chew it and chew it until it was pretty much liquid. I listened to my sleeve, if I felt uncomfortable then I would know that my sleeve wasn't ready for that food. I am also obsessed with chewing ice! It helps me a lot when I want ice cream or have mental hunger. Keep up ur good work!

I went back to work 8 days post op!

That's a good IDEa! Thanks!

Hey guys! I just wanted to know how many of you guys "cheated" after your sleeve and what it was.

How much weight have u lost?

That's the thing, when I have eaten chicken I have chewed it until it's pretty much a purée. I listen to my stomach, the moment I feel full, I stop. I haven't vomited or had any issues really, other than feeling sick to my stomach drinking protein shakes.

Does anyone know if eating regular food at 20 days post op will mess up ur sleeve? I mean foods like baked chicken, green peas. I am able to eat these things but stop as soon as I feel full, and it's only a small amount.

Prayers for your daughter!

So your not on a liquid diet for 3 weeks before going to purée foods?
