Drink Propel. No calories, no carbs, and the grape flavor is yummy! Much better for you than Vitamin Water. -
I had a few different kinds of lettuce in my salad, plus chicken, and it just HURT. I was brave and went to Subway yesterday for a flatbread sandwich and had just spinach and green pepper for the veggies and had not one issue with it. Maybe I tried the salad too soon??? NUT said it was OK to have so I thought I'd be OK :-(
-
Did anyone have severe pain in their pouch after having lettuce? I tried it twice and I thought my pouch was going to turn itself inside out. I didn't feel sick or anything and didn't have any "bathroom issues"....just lots of pain for about an hour after I ate the salad.

Looking for those who had sleeve in August 2015

I'm 33 pounds down as of today and can start on soft foods! YES!!! -
Saw my NUT today and she said I can have raw veggies in 2 weeks...YES!!!! I start regular soft foods today...this was the best day ever!!!! And I'm down 33 pounds :-)
-
I would eat my protein first which would probably be chicken on top of my salad.
-
I hope that doesn't happen to me Jamie...I prefer the crunch of raw veggies over mushy cooked ones. I think that's part of the reason I'm craving a salad...I want some CRUNCH.
-
I LOVE kale salads! At this point any salad will do. My husband has been obsessed with finding just the right kind of dressing for me, nutritionally speaking. I love French dressing but I know it won't be the best option.
-
I was afraid it was going to be awhile. I'm just craving an Olive Garden salad soooo bad right now. It's ridiculous! Of all things to crave....
-
I'm a month out and all I want is a salad. I see my NUT on Thursday but I'm so obsessed with this I can't wait until then to ask.....at what point can we start having raw veggies????

August 20th here. I've lost 30 pounds since my pre-surgery diet and I've been stuck at the same weight for a week now. That scale is just not budging! Hopefully this plateau will break soon. I'm on "mush" until Thursday when I see my NUT and hopefully she will clear me for real food. -

I'm on puree for another week. Hopefully that's it because if I don't get to chew something pretty soon I'm going to lose it!!!!

It took me about a week after surgery to start seeing results. I was retaining all the fluid the hospital put in my. That's since gone and I'm happy with what I'm seeing on the scale. Be patient, you'll see results soon too :-) -
Nausea, food aversion, protein nausea, weakness pls help
EmyLou78 replied to carmenalivet's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Try taking some Benadryl for the nausea before getting an Rx for something. It's not widely used as an anti nausea medication but it does work for me! -
