Starting Weight-420
Current Weight-297
Total-123 lbs

Spent 26 days in hospital with leak, actually gained while in so feel like I lost a whole month.

Loss is not what I wanted, but getting there. I'm not very obedient....drink a lot of kool aid, but I just cant drink plain Water.< br>

Back when I was banded, when finding the sweet spot, I did .1 adjustments to get it right.
Kept weight of for several years before my body just rejected band. Sleeved on 10/7/16, and wowser, its a different world.

its food that your able to eat a bigger portion of then what you'd expect you could, almost as if your not getting full off of it like your suppose to its basically like having no restrictions, for a lot of people that food is chips, popcorn, Cookies, etc, they are mostly high carb and high calorie and like ice cream which turns into a liquid or say a chip that if you smash turns into super tiny little pieces, so its stuff that isn't gonna take up as much room as say if you ate a piece of meat so your able to eat more of them cause more is gonna fit even though its not good for you to do so cause they aren't good foods for you

Most of them are too filling and too high in calories for a bari patient.
you can just put some shredded cheese in a non stick skillet on low heat, watch it, let it get crispy and put toppings on it. Just make sure you use a pizza sauce with no sugar added.
Also I am going to tell you, right now, pizza toppings whatever, will trigger restriction because you are still healing. Once you are fully healed, they might become sliders. Pizza toppings offer no restriction for me whatsoever. I could eat the toppings off a whole large pizza if I wanted. So just be careful reintroducing pizza if it is one of your weaknesses. I don't really like pizza so it is not an issue for me, but when I realized it didn't trigger restriction in me I got very scared.
You could also just use this recipe

and add some meat to it.

Little sarcasam.... :-) Just wanted you to embrace your success, and realize we are all unique.
I completely understand what you mean. I was on the Band site saying the same stuff..went back to work 5 days post op. Was able to eat and tolerate foods weeks ahead.
Keep rocking, man!

It was a "tiny" leak according to surgeon. Let it heal itself. Thinks I did i throwing up the day before I came in. Had upper GI and its sealed, but nausea is still rough. Better now, but a ways to go.

Try g2. 45 call in 20oz so cute it with Water. It was the only thing that worked for me right after. Now I do infused Water, all types of loose tea, and Vitamin water 0. Sent from my SM-T550 using the BariatricPal App

Have you tried just soaking fruit in your Water? With a piece of fresh ginger for nausea? Like a gallon pitcher, filled with Water, then chilled with sliced strawberries and oranges and a 2in piece of peeled fresh ginger sliced? Ginger is a natural nausea remedy, and maybe you need flavor without the sugary taste. Hint Water also has this taste

If it makes you feel better, no. I am Day 8 and struggling through. Still having gas pains (I walk...a lot), having a really hard time with liquids as sf drinks make me sick to my stomach, but still get my 60 grams of Protein daily. Still have abdominal pain, but getting through. Everybody is different though, so just roll with what you got. 10 years ago I had the band, and I had an AMAZINGLY easy recovery and did great.
Good luck on your journey!

hey, I got sleeved on 10/11 and I walked around the hospital without pain meds or the IV pole attached to me. I have/had no gas pains whatsoever the other patients were shocked and the nurses were like how are u so happy and not in pain. I tolerated my foods. I'm doing well at home and my incisions are healing fine. Thank God!!! I see my doctor this week. So listen theres nothing to be paranoid. Not everyones body is the same!

5 days out and struggling hard with getting liquids, wife finally talked me into having one.
