Breakfast question
Nope never. Sleeved 1-19. You could probably tolerate oatmeal and cream of wheat much better. I always have a protein shake for breakfast followed by a mid morning yogurt if I get hungry. Pancakes ansD waffles will sit on your tummy like a lead brick!

Do I have to give up Coffee? If so, how? Suggestions please!
I'm 6 weeks post op and just tried Chike coffee protein powder last week. Blend it with ice and ff milk. Just like a frappé oh my goodness! 20 grams of protein. It does have caffeine though. My sleeve Is totally ok with it! I have 1 every other day for my morning protein. I love it!

Chike coffee protein - yum!
I ordered mine from Chike.com. You can also get sample packs up try first. It's very good. But does have caffeine.

Chike coffee protein - yum!
Ok so I've stayed away from coffee even though my surgeon allows it. Just didn't taste the same as pre-surgery. Ordered the Chike coffee after a recommendation and made an iced coffee this morning and oh my goodness -yummy ????. I've been using Unjury and Jay Robb protein powder. This is very yummy too!

What's everyone eating one month out ?
I was 4 weeks out on Monday the 16th. Because I was lucky enough to not have any nausea or vomitting post-op, my surgeon moved me to soft/mushy foods 2 weeks out. This week I can try "normal foods." However, I'm kind of staying the same. I usually ave 1-2 Protein shakes a day depending on my protein intake. eggs still don't go down too well. I can do tuna, shredded pork, chicken, shrimp. I do lots of cottage cheese, yogurt, cheese sticks, babybell cheese, etc. Shredded lunch meat. I've only tried soft cooked vegetables like carrots and green Beans in soup/stew. Oyster crackers in soup do Ok, just for adding a little salt. Applesauce and soft fruits in their own juice. Blueberries are Ok. I do SF popsicles occasionally and have had 1 SF healthy choice fudge pop. That's about it. I can do cream of wheat and oatmeal, however they make me crave so I think it's too many carbs for me to have.

I don't want to eat!
It will get better. I'm 2 weeks post op and it's much easier now than the first 10 days.

New to the site and 9 days post-op of the sleeve and looking for encouragement:)
@@soubifan700 I had my surgery on Monday. Was disappointed when I came home and found out I cannot tolerate dairy. I suggest getting your protein shakes in with Almond milk or lactose free milk. I also purchased Unjury unflavored protein which you can mix with anything. Broth, tea, gatorade, water, etc. That may help you get your protein in. Feel Better!

January Sleevers ❄️
I was sleeved on Monday. I'm on full liquids for 4 weeks. When I was making my shakes with milk I was having terrible pains the second I swallowed the smallest sip. Did not have that problem with plain water. Switched to almond milk and the pain and spasms have subsided. I think I may have issues with lactose. Been getting in about 55 oz of fluid counting my fluids from the shakes. About 60 g of protein.
