Hi friends!!!
So I had a revision from band to sleeve September 1st. I've read so many comments on here about people throwing up when trying certain foods, and eating something and immediately getting sick. I haven't thrown up once. (Not complaining). I haven't felt sick. But I feel like I can eat so much food! For lunch this week I was having 2 oz. of tunafish and a piece of cheddar cheese. I feel full and gthen then an hour later I'm hungry again. Wasn't that supposed to go away? Should I try eating more tuna? I feel like I can easily hit 1000 calories. Any ideas? Help!!

HW: 282

You look great! I'm hoping to be under 200 by New Year's Eve

Look for other bodily cues as well. My nose starts to run when I'm done. It's so weird but a good signal.

I am 2 weeks today think i amm going ok

I've never gotten sick off of anything, thankfully. My NUT's calorie range for me is 600-800 calories a day and I'm 22 days out. I too am a LB to sleeve patient and I think that I remember reading somewhere that we have a harder time being able to tell when we're full and can eat more if we let it get away from us.

Your stomach will let you know! Well at least for me it has! My throat gets knotted up,as if I had food stuck, and I feel the food siting right on my stomach this happens with just a few spoons of whatever I'm eating. I wait about 15-20min to continue my meal! Is not a pretty fun feeling feeling full and having to throw up

I was told not to go lower than 1k cals with working out.....so I don't think I will be going any less.
I am already trying to up my Protein, and working on it, thanks.

Do you have the option of seeing a therapist? Talking to a professional really helped me start to get over my food addiction. Then I read a book called Never Binge Again, and that made all sorts of light bulbs go off for me.
I think we all worry that we are going to fail, so now is the time for us to fix our mindsets, so our sleeves can help us more!

I totally feel you. I am a daily weight checker type of person and I was down and then up and down again - it is nerve wracking, we are going to drive ourselves nuts. I am obsessively looking up pureed food. I think when I go back to work it will help me get my mind off my food crush. Breaking up is hard to do, right?

That is so inspiring. I am a 24 right now and 2 weeks post op. Any favorite foods or tips?

Kristen117 , you Enlightened me on something, I didn't know the staples came out, I thought they would be in forever, the new norm...staples in the belly for life. But its good to know this.

Good luck!!! I'm sure it will be a breeze!! Let us know if you need anything!

I got half my staples out yesterday!!! Woot!!! And was cleared to start eating cottage cheese. I've never really been a cc eater - any suggestions since I can't have it with fruit or anything?

Glad you guys are doing well!! And good luck to those coming up!!! I'm 13 days out and loving it!!!

I have my surgery tomorrow! I'm in the tooele area lol.

Well I tried soft scrambled eggs... Those came right back up
Then I tried some soft cooked peas and carrots and gave me heartburn from hell....
Soooo..... I bought a creamy Peanut Butter Protein bar( the kind with no chunks of nuts or anything crunchy in it) and, as long as I chew it slowly, it has been the best way to get my protein in.

You are so welcome. Let the tears be happy tears! You have made a decision to be a better person, and as long as you keep doing what you're doing, you will see the progress, I promise! My surgery was a revision from band to sleeve. I lost just over 100 lb with my band, and I remember going through exactly what you are experiencing. Now I am doing it again after some medical issues with the band. Huge bummer, but now we can do it together!

Dont feel down about this. It could be anything from a little Water retention(cycle), you had more sodium than normal yesterday, to a bowel movement! Gross, I know, but our bodies are adjusting and trying to keep up with our minds. We want the scale to go down each day, and it wont. Its just trying to catch up! You got this! And your doing everything you're supposed to! Keep it up!

I was sleeved yesterday. It was a breeze! Very little pain. I'm a little hungry, but mostly just thirsty. I had my X-ray today to make sure there were no leaks, and now I am allowed a tiny amount of Water each hour. Tomorrow I get some Clear Liquids, and should head home at noon.
feel free to ask qustions!

Hey there! Yes!! I don't know what I would do with out my sugar free popsicles! How is everything going for you? Well I hope.
