That is my struggle! Slowing down and making a meal stretch! I will be keeping an eye on this thread!

I am 6 weeks post op and had about 1/4 cup of popcorn last week. Some was cheese, caramel, and chocolate peanut butter drizzled popcorn. I had no issues. That being said, everyone is different and you should keep that in mind. I chewed really well, too, by the way!

I am not super chatty but maybe we can help each other.

Don't rush! I went back to work 2 weeks post op. Low energy but adjusted nutrients and made sure I had my vitamins! Glad to hear your surgery went well! Good luck!

I really like protein on the go! Especially if it is not full of sugar and carbs! Thanks for the tip!

Wow! Down 37 in 4 weeks!? I must really be doing something wrong! I had my procedure 7/24 and am down only 8 lbs! Great job! Very excited for you!

What is you sort of puréed the steak? Maybe easier to digest!

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time! I had dry heaves in the hospital and was given something for nausea. That helped a lot. I had some pretty decent pain from a deep stitch that I had. I imagine you have told a dr or nurse about your pain and nausea. I have no advice but am sending you positive vibes and best wishes! Hang in there!

I think we all have to retrain the brain especially when it comes to our emotions! So sorry to hear of your losses. I hope things are better for you now. I don't know if journaling would combat comfort eating but it might be worth a try! It is suggested to exercise when feeling low but I have never done that! Hope you are well!

My surgeon suggested BariatricFusion protein shakes. There are several flavors including a variety pack, which is helpful. I found the chicken soup flavor to be WAY to salty and could not handle that! I love the Cappuccino flavor! Loaded with essential vitamins and minerals! Good luck!

My boyfriend found a 32 oz cup with a lid. I have that cup with me always! 2 of those a day is the goal! I did experience some dehydration even with the water. I added Powerade Zero to the water for added minerals, etc... it helped! Good luck and I hope things are better now!

Hoping to find some people from the Buffalo/ Niagara Falls, NY are that has had a sleeve gastrectomy. Anybody?

Any Western New Yorkers out there? How are you all doing? I had my procedure on 7/24 and am doing pretty good, I think!

It is so interesting how different we all are! I am still losing weight but think I should be losing faster. I did start my strength training with exercise bands today. I really need to increase my waking, too!
