All I can say is do it and don't look back I had the opportunity.. 5 years ago... and chickened out... 4 days prior to surgery.. I can't imagine how those years would have been different... best of success.... you got this

Just frozen safeway meatballs.. there pre cooked.. just defrost overnight... I travel a bunch... might take em in my checked luggage

I consistently eat 800... have lots of energy... are you tracking your food.. my fitness pal... very important... just think of the amt of food you used to eat

I found something great,,,, Turkey meatballs,,,, 2 frozen,,, They thaw in the am,,, 97 calories,,,, Good protein,,, Easy to take,,, 2.5 mos pre op,,,, Down over 50 lbs,,, Working out feeling great,,, Tons more energy

I love that app. I'm mitchsnv. Sleeved a bit over a month ago,,, Think I've finally gotten thru the liquid blahs,,, Getting much more active,,,, Swimming is the best !!

I'm 4 weeks post op,,, Still cream soups,,, Even tuna fish. Fills me up way too quick

I also had many food dreams,,, Not so much now,,,

Is it just me or do you go thru a lot of antacid products,,,??? A few friends many years post op. Say it's common,,, Is it?? I'm almost a month post op

Totally get it,,,, Surprised how ,,, I thought normal eaters,,, Shovel it in !!! Lol

What are the 1st solid things you all tried,,,,, I'm not super hating purée soups and food,,,,, But hope I can eat a salad eventually. Any foods to completely avoid???

Best of luck,,,, It's definitely a change,,,, And a tool. I'm almost at 3 weeks post op,,,, And love love this forum,,, Knock on wood,,, Have read some really complex,,,, Complications,,,, Not me ,,, Other than a little gas,,,, Constipation and some mental cravings,,,,, Surgery was really the easiest part,,,, I scour Pinterest for recipies and yes and no's to certain food,,,, Don't think I've been to as many grocery stores speciality and regular,,,, In my 18 yr. vegas living,,,, Good luck

Gas x is my savior. With a little sip of water,,,,, Any one try milk of magnesium. ???

Laparoscopic,,,, Way easier,,,, Less opening,,,,, Surgery was by far the easiest part,,,, Portion size is my mysteries,,,, Soups and creamy soups go down easy,,,, A lot,,,, I fried hummas tuna,,, Gefilite fish,,,, Avocado,,,, Very very little portions,,,,, Gas X is your friend,,,, Fyi. Burp,,,, Oh want some creame spinach and yummy tuna fish

Premiere protein ,,,,,Costco and sams club. And Von's stores,,,, There by far the easiest,,,,

That's awesome,,,, I'm down 30. Can't wait to reach 200's. I'm starting to get that this is a tool,,,,, A DAMM good one but still a tool!!

Guess I'm ok,,, Had a egg and some tuna fish today,,,, Was so so yummy!!! Haven't been measuring my food but eating till full,,, Only full once !!

Just do it,,, I chickened out several years a go,,,, Just did it 2 weeks,,, Surgery is the easy part,,

But mostly food protein not getting enought. Just feeling tired,,,, Know I shouldn't take Tylenol pm or lunesta. During the day,,,, But I've always escaped towards sleep,,,, Luckily no alcohol. I need a kick in the ass for out side and gym activities

Struggled with clear liquid,,, Now on full liquid and meal shakes,,,, Think I've finally got the right ammt of protein,,, Lost 26 lbs. And up under 300. Looking fwd to more changes and surprises !! Thanks to this forum,,,,

Oh. Wheeee. Hoooo. Lost 24 lbs!!!

Thks,,, Doc confirmed same thing,, Watch my bp. Plus stay hydrated!!

Finally had a protein shake today with almond milk,,, Pretty good. But so tired today,, Actually felt dizzy this eve,, Any experiences ?? Suggestions??

I had sleeve. 19 also,,, How ya doing,,, Best thing I could finally have is. Cream portobello soup,,, Still trying to get the protein right,,, Still tired,,,,

Yes sip,,, Sip.

I had mine nov 19. Wasn't really scared. But 4+ years ago,,, I chickened out,,, Not this time,, Just fishing my 1st week,,, Hungry. Looking for my semi purée phase !!!
