I would agree about getting a vegetti. I LOVE mine. Best $15 I've spent ever. As far as only being three weeks out and eating Pasta, I'd say nope. Probably not the best choice. I'm not sure about other's but we were given a binder with very specific instructions in it. At three weeks we were still only supposed to be eating softer foods and adding in more Protein options. I'm having to personally scale back to liquids for now because for some reason at five weeks out my body has decided that it doesn't want food and is rejecting it, so I called the surgeon and he said do liquids for a week and try again.
I wish you all the best with your WL journey but be wise. Pasta is high carb. Can't be good long term for weight loss...

Checked out Planet. Decided to go with them. They had a wide assortment of people. I had been driving by checking the parking lot and today was the busiest I had ever seen it. Took the tour and all the machines were available. Some of the downsides is there are some winners. One woman was just camped on the leg press playing with her phone. They had all the machines that LA had. Weight is weight. I'll pay less for the weight.

I'm a PF member and I actually love it. No one there ever looks at me crazy or anything. People are there doing their own thing. I like that they have a 30 minute circuit. Makes it easier to get a quick effective work out in. I do wish they had classes like 24 hour BUT for $20 a month I can't ask for much... especially compared to the prices at 24 hour fitness. The gym I use had hydro massages so after I work out I can get an awesome 7 minute Water bed massage... Overall, it works for what you want it to work for. You'll see people of all sizes and fitness levels there.

This isn't a diet where you can "cheat" this is a lifestyle. You have to stick to it. All those little bites and breaks are going to slow your weight loss and eventually you will discouraged. The whole point of the food steps is so you learn how to eat again properly.
If you must have Pasta, get a veghetti and make zucchini Pasta

I was wondering if there were any September sleever's here. I was sleeved on 09/17.
About me 35, two kids (boys) 18 & 11. HW 266. SW 200. CW 187. I'm on FB @ Sarah Malissa Young.

I called my doctors office and spoke with his assistant who advised me to cut it back to my post op liquid diet for a week and see if that helps. He also said to get some mylanta to coat my sleeve and see if that helps at all.

Yeah, you're right and that's what I was thinking so I was just gonna go back to soft/pureed foods and try that for a while and see how I tolerate that but I'll give my doctor a call just to see what they say.

....but doesn't have the nerve to post on their own behalf. Just want to thank everyone who posts. I love reading all the topics and learning about wls and feeling like I have (albeit imaginary) weight loss friends!!! Maybe one day I will get the nerve to actually post something relevant. Or to comment on someone's post! There are a few of you I really connect to. Thank you for your authenticity.
I don't have much of a support system as far as my weight loss goes. I'm a pretty private person who happens to have a high profile job in a gossipy industry. So I tend to keep quiet about the ongoings of my personal life. That's where lurking these forums comes in. And I totally feel a lot better about all of the worries and concerns I have on a daily basis. I come home and look up whatever is bothering me and almost always there is a wonderful post, quelling my fears with the suggestions and knowledge of others who are far ahead of me in their weight loss journey.
Thanks everyone! You are all awesome❤️
