Im in Portland

I love the gothic look.

I am in Oregon too. I had my sleeve done at Good Samaritan Hospital. The care there was excellent.

who cares about your husband at this point!

Tilapia comes from China and it is garbage. They feed tilapia feces and hormones. They feed it human ****. I would never eat tilapia.

I am at 5 weeks post op and have lost only 12 pounds. I am on antidepressents and maybe that makes me not lose very fast.

At this point I just have a regular scale. Today is my 5th week post op. I still have only lost 12 pounds. I feel like starving myself. Here I went through the rigors of major surgery to lose only 12 pounds. Oh what fun.

Its spelled D I V O R C E

Maybe I should have had bypass surgery instead of the sleeve.

I have only lost 10 pounds in 5 weeks. I was concerned about it but I just accept it as it is...a slow process.

Yes I agree. i cooked it in butter with garlic and lemon. It tasted ok. But I agree with you that I ate it too fast or my stomach was not ready to receive it.

I wonder if the meat was bad.

I threw up today after eating the cod. I have no idea why I threw it up. Was the fish bad? Can it damage the staple line when we throw up?

Has anyone eaten fresh cod or salmon during the 5th and 6th weeks post op? I just bought some fresh cod and salmon at the grocery store today. They are packed with protein. Any thoughts?

I was May 9, 2018. Anyone try super firm tofu? It really upset my stomach. Anyone had that experience with tofu?

Should I have lost more weight by now? What have others lost at this stage post op?

Maybe its time to start thinking about a divorce.

Today is my 3 week mark and it feels so good.

Justs wondering because I tried to eat refried bean and it hurt so bad in the center of my chest. Hope I dont have a leak.

I feel the same as you. I can't wait til I can eat eggs and cheese in a few days. It will be heavenly. I am having hunger pangs. I have been eating tomato soup and chicken broth. I have been dreaming about hamburgers and pizza. I know I can't eat them at this point but it is nice to fantasize.

I am finding that I feel hungy all the time. I keep thinking about food. My mind is hungry for food and my body is not. I keep telling myself "nothing tastes like thin feels"

I am 9 days post op and I want to eat so bad!! I keep dreaming of a nice hamburger. I just want to chew on something also. I hope I can have eggs in weeks 3 and 4. I bought 3 dozen eggs.

What is the reason that you can't have caffeine after gastric sleeve surgery?

It is called BODY FORTRESS, WHEY PROTEIN.

I use a protein chocolate powder called Body Fortress, Whey Protein. It has 60 grams of of protein per scoop.
