I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and my surgeon said that I could occasionally take NSAIDS with the sleeve, but not with bypass. That was one of the reasons I opted for the sleeve. I am just over 6 months out and have taken a motrin once.

I hope you like it! My son ate all of the leftovers so there went my lunch plans. It will definitely be one we make again.

I can’t figure out how to post a picture, but we had Roasted Cauliflower and Lentil Tacos with CreamyChipotle Sauce from cookieandkate.com. They were really good! Thank you everyone for sharing your great meals!!

I have Rheumatoid Arthritis as well as Sjogren's and now Osteoarthritis in my spine and knees. I had surgery in August and my joints feel so much better! My knees were giving out on me before surgery and I was worried about having to recover from knee replacement surgery at my pre-surgery weight. My knees do not give out on my any more. I hope that you experience greatly improved symptoms!

I had gastric sleeve in August. I have not had a lot of fruit, but have had strawberries and fruit in a green smoothie. I have also had a small piece of fresh pineapple and pomegranate seeds. I have not had problems with any of them.

I ate a lot of refried beans. I also would pour some of the liquid out of lentil soup and put my immersion blender in it to eat the thickened lentils and vegetables. I ate greek yogurt and tofu. I think I was allowed to eat string cheese at that point as well. I was allowed to have eggs then, but only had them a few times at that stage.

You are welcome!

You are welcome!

Omaj That sounds yummy! I love Chili, soup, stew weather! I will have to try this.

Newme17 your Chana saag recipe looks delicious!!

I really like the website veganricha.com for vegan recipes and many of them are Indian food. She has 2 cookbooks. The first is vegan Indian food. Her flavors are great and many are simple. I also like cookieandkate.com for vegetarian and vegan recipes and isachandra.com for vegan recipes.

I could not tolerate dairy based protein after surgery so I used Vega.

I had planned to go back to work at 6 days post op, but I was so tired and was just not ready. I did work half time at 9 days and was back to work full days at 2 weeks. My job is pretty active.

I could only tolerate vegan protein shakes.

I told my dentist I was having the surgery and asked if there was anything I should do differently to protect my teeth after surgery. She had me switch to an electric toothbrush and use fluoride at bedtime.
