Two months out I had sushi. I get eel avocado cucumber with no rice, just nori. Or wrapped in cucumber. Felt fine. Edamame is also a great choice! Avoid rolls with fried elements. Sashimi would probably be strange, since you have to chew it very well..don't know if I'd enjoy chewing a slab of raw salmon down to a pulp.

Thanks for checking in! I'm doing pretty well. Almost 50 lbs down. Haven't seen his mom in almost two months, she never has really made an effort to spend time with me and after last time I stopped asking my bf to arrange it. Our relationship is rocky right now, a culmination of stuff. To sum it up, he participates in our relationship when it's convenient and is resistant to put the "real work" in. I'm very vocal and he knows what he needs to change, so we will see where it goes.

I was eating eggs 2 weeks post op. After liquids for a month (2 weeks pre, 2 weeks post), it tasted so delicious. I'm assuming you're on liquids right now (this is the toughest part of the whole journey, in my opinion). It is understandable that you are mourning the loss of more delicious foods. You're bored with what you're putting in your mouth right now. But trust me when you do get to start eating again, you're going to have a newfound appreciation for the simpler things. You're forced to savor your food - eat slowly & chew a lot. Because of that, food will taste differently - in a better way! And as you quickly fill up, you'll be satisfied enough. You'll be able to have a forkfull of twirled spaghetti or a couple of bites of a hamburger eventually. But balance is key. I'm almost 2 months out and haven't tried either. I'm sure they would taste good, but I am not seeking out foods like that right now - they're not the best choice for a reason.

My NUT suggested higher fat content dairy products - 2% milk, 2% milkfat greek yogurt, cottage cheese, etc., to help with reaching the calorie goal if you're struggling.

Sleeved 6/11... loving it. Liquids were hard. Feel like my taste buds have been reborn. Reading a lot of books, making mood boards... trying to gain as many tools & motivate myself as much as possible!

Wow...that's not a nice thing. I'm sorry, he just doesn't sound like he's ready for a serious commitment. Now that you know, act accordingly. In time, he will be replaced I'm sure. One day at a time. Today I love him. I am not really ready to move in or get married yet anyway, so maybe we will sync up in the future. We will see.

@@muzical1 he is a huge mommas boy, has dinner at her house 4x a week. I'm never invited. Would "stress her out too much". He says he defends me but I know he wouldn't cross her.

@@laguerr13 You are totally right... I am just coming to terms that if I choose to stay with & marry my boyfriend one day, his family is not going to be an additional support system. I've always imagined my future spouses family were going to be like a second family to me. I guess in time I will realize if I am going to accept & live with it, or not.

I was sleeved one month ago. I've been with my boyfriend for two years. Him and I are very different, and our families are very different. My family is very inclusive (Come on over for dinner! Invite him to Christmas! Bring him on vacation!), while his family rarely invites me to things, and shows little to no interest in getting to know me. This has been a problem in our relationship, but I really do love him. Ever since I told his mother in December that I was going through the motions to get WLS, I have received a barage of "How much have you lost", "You need to be careful", "So many people gain back the weight", "You have such a pretty face" and tons of other know-it-all comments. At first I brushed this off as motherly concern, but my boyfriend recently let me know that she has expressed in private that she is concerned I can't control myself and WILL gain back my weight. She wants my boyfriend to watch out for that. He defended me but trust me this woman is stubborn. This hurts so me much because I've only met this woman 4-5 times. I've tried to explain my journey, newfound motivation, and focus to her - but even after making this drastic lifestyle change to lose weight, I can't help but feel she is still judging me as a stereotypical obese person with no self control. I had surgery a month ago, what does this lady expect from me already? Sheesh. I am pretty open about my surgery to anyone who wants to know about it - I have nothing to hide... but crap like this is making me wish I told nobody. It is a double edged sword - because once people know, they are expecting change. Any advice? TL;DR: Boyfriends mom never liked me because I was too fat for her son, now post-op, she still is afraid I will be too fat for her son.

@@harley_quinn25 Long Island, you?

I am also 25 and from New York! I was sleeved 6/11. My liquid diet ended yesterday. You will have such a newfound appreciation for food when yours ends too. Good luck!

Surprisingly my pre op liquid diet was a lot easier than post op has been. It depends on your program but I was allowed any low fat Soup I could purée and push through a strainer. Black bean soup from Panera was my go-to. Post op the thought of eating that right now sickens me! I was also allowed seedless fruits and nut butters in my smoothie. banana Peanut Butter with chocolate whey was and still is my favorite.

Try some egg drop soup (puréed) - tastes like a scrambled egg. I found it very satisfying.

Took me forever. I actually started the pre op liquid diet before getting the OK from my insurance. A coordinator for the bariatric program at my hospital took my calls and kept me updated, even chased around some doctors.

You will not be able to get out of/get into a bed or chair without help the first few days.
