That's awesome, I'll try it!!! Thank you

I'm 11 weeks / 3 months post op and I can say that at this point I've tried everything I've craved. I do track every bite. I don't dare to try bread, pasta, tortillas or rice. I just feel it will be very heavy for me and I'd rather pass. I'm not a alcohol drinker so that's no biggy for me. I feel very normal with family and friends just takes me longer to eat a tiny plate/bites (I've adapted very well to my sleeve) loving the results.

I'm on the same boat .... 9 week post op today Surgery weight 230 Today the scale says 199 or 200 but I'm trying to not focus on that I'm just gonna wait for my 3 month check up .... Hopefully the numbers are down by then :/ Erika.....

I had my surgery 4/25 and asked the same question to my doctor and his team. He said I could keep my acrylic/gel set on. Erika.....
