You look great awesome job!!

Okay, you just knew the title of this one was going to bring some specatators. hahaha

Sleeved on 9-23 I have been on soft foods for a week now after my two week post-op appointment. I threw up for the first 3 days after going to soft foods I believe it was because I ate to fast. So far I loss 20lbs. I find myself dreading to eat sometimes due to what may happen. I'm hanging in there and trying to eat slow.

Way to go September Sleevers!!! Hey everyone! Just started soft foods 2 days ago. Is anyone else afraid to eat? I am so terrified of stretching out the pouch! I had 1 ounce of fish this evening and after 15 minutes I started hiccuping! That was my cue to stop! Good thing bc then I got some chest pains and a fullness in my belly! Think I only made it through half the ounce. That is so crazy! Some ppl talked about eating too fast...that is me too! I down loaded an app in my phone..eat slow...and it times my bites. Only problem is my food gets cold...probably why I ate fast before! Good luck to all! Love this site and all the advice!

Waneta35 hang in there. It gets better.

Hi Waneta35, I have several before and after pics on my profile page. I'm grateful for the surgery and I am celebrating the results thus far, but I do not wish to see them on this page. I never want to go back there and while for some seeing reminders of where they came from keeps them focused on moving forward....that does not work for me. so this is my celebration page where I focus on moving forward instead of looking back..... :lol:

Congrats on the new you, you should post a picture of your before and after

Almond joys was my go to candy, glad to hear it didn't taste that good.

I was sleeved on Tuesday September 23rd. Today was my first day back to work and I was so sleepy after I got off. My two week pre op appointment is on Wednesday and I can't wait to be released to soft foods. The pureed stage has been hard but I have learned to get in my Protein and Water if nothing else.

On a positive note..it didn't taste that great!

Congrats I remember my night before two weeks ago. Get some rest today and relax your mind tomorrow is the beginning of a new day!! Prayers sending your way

Got sleeved two days ago. Not in much pain but I have to remind myself to sip. If I drink to fast I get the burbs.

Foods need to be moist, for sure, epecially meat. I was still at around 1/2 cup total food volume through my third month post-op. At nine months out, I haven't even tried salad greens yet. Early on, Miss Tummy and I had a disagreement over whether or not I should eat cauliflower with cheese. Four miserable hours later, Miss Tummy won that argument and gave my cauliflower back to me,
You will have to reintroduce foods slowly and pay attention to what your new stomach is telling you. Don't think of this as having a smaller stomach....think of this as having a new stomach that you don't know what the hell it likes, and you are going to have to figure it out by trial and error. Be gentle, and keep portions small until you and your stomach come to an understanding. In this game, your stomach makes all of the rules. Don't give up the fight. You are in this to win it. You have no choice.

Crystalsleeve it's very hard to sip. I hate it. But if you drink too fast you will feel the after effects of drinking fast. We have to retrain ourselves to eat & drink. It's a challenge but you will be fine. Take it slow.

Yup that was the same feeling I would get, take a bite and wait, then take a bite and wait...once you start to get that feeling then stop and see if you have the same issue, even if you can only get a couple of bites in you might be full...another thing is make sure you are waiting a full 40 min after eating before taking a drink, that will make you sick every time if you don't wait.

My surgery was September 30. I am very proud of my outcome. Overall I feel hyped about my transformation. My body is slimming nicely. I am exercising daily. Mainly walking with and without arm weights.
