HI All June 21st here! Good luck to all of you---June is right around the corner !

Hi there I am lactose intolerant and am concerned I won't have a lot of options for the pureed stage. Anyone have any suggestions/recipes? Thanks!

Good luck on your journey!

Thanks for sharing- congrats- that's quite the achievement. I think you're right- abstinence is key.

Thank you for your share- I think what you're describing is exactly what I'm worried about. It sounds like the only way is to abstain completely. Your story will inspire and teach me. How did the resleeve go?

Thank you for sharing. Your commitment inspired me to stay away from all the Easter candy and desserts yesterday. One day at a time....

Thank you for this information. It's what makes me the most concerned over this surgery. I'm hoping those first 6-12 months will give me the grace period I need to form new habits and break the cycle. (And of course trying even now pre-surgery) If you have any information as to what coping skills/things ppl do to help get over cravings and abstain successfully-please pass along Have a great weekend!

We can! Good luck!

Thanks for responding. Yes I think you're right- I'm hoping the first 6-12 months post surgery where we shouldn't have too many cravings will give me the room i need to form new habits. Good luck!!

Hi All Did anyone who has had the sleeve struggle with sugar addiction before surgery? (Chocolate, ice cream, candy etc) If so- how did you manage post surgery? Did your cravings come back? Were you successful with the sleeve? I ask because I'm reading more things recently that the sleeve is good for folks who have trouble with portion control but not so much for those who have a sweet tooth. Any experiences would help. Also- I am aware that it's important to try and work on eating behaviors/emotional eating pre surgery and after- I'm just curious on the experience people have had. Does the sugar cravings/desire ever go away after time? Anyone successful kicking sweets for food post surgery? Thanks!

Thanks all! Great info! Thanks!

Thanks!

Why children's ? Can we not take regular?

What are ppis?

Can everyone share what they felt was important to have in their toolbox immediately post surgery other than food? Examples: 1-2oz plastic cups to eat out of, baby spoons, antacid, listerine melts etc I am building my arsenal lol
