Thanks! You give me hope! You’re right. I can have foods with modifications. Just have to be creative. Haven’t had any type of pasta since surgery. Might try some tonight. Small portion.

That was my “thing”...eating while watching tv.

Yes. Me too. Now that I think about it......wow

Thank you so much for your thoughtful reply.

Hi all. Six weeks post op from the sleeve and feeling. Depressed today. Was supposed to have dinner with family last night but it’s tonight. Italian restaurant. I’m still adjusting to this new way of life-not being able to eat whatever I want. I know where it got me-it’s just such a big adjustment. I feel sad and almost in mourning today. For my old life. Trying to shake it. Anyone else been there done that?

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who was addicted to my 600 lb life. No longer watch that. I no longer obsess about what I’m going to eat for the next meal.

I hear you. I am six weeks post op and have stalled. Up 1.4 lbs from Sunday. Shouldn’t be weighing myself so much but I’ve been weighing every day. Sunday is usually my “weigh day”. Try to refocus and start over. You know what to do.

Congratulations! You look fantastic!

Love scallops. Thanks.

Oh crab is ok. Thank you. Thanks for the replies. Ill check with my team to be sure. Thanks.

Hi. It’s purée transitioning into soft. Thanks. So no shrimp?

Hi all. I have a challenge this evening. Family in from Europe-we will be eating at Red Lobster. Any meal suggestions?

Five weeks out still having trouble with nausea and constipation with the vitamins. Just had to put the iron on hold for a few weeks per my doctor because of the constipation. I take celebrate chewable calcium Chews and twin lab capsule multivitamin. The twinlab keeps coming back up. I tried celebrate but I was vomiting that you too.

I was very nervous and felt like running out of the hospital when I was getting prepped. They gave me something for anxiety when I was on my way back to the or and I was fine. You will do great. Try to relax and deep breathe.

They have a patch they put on me for nausea and I received other iv meds as well. I too get very sick after surgeries. I was fine. As far as not losing weight, it’s a commitment and I hear from successful sleevers that as long as you stick with the program it works. Plenty of success stories on these boards.

The pain is ok. I was on just Tylenol a couple Days home. As I’m healing I get twinges of pain in my incision sites. You may be just fine with one week off.

I took a full two weeks off and I wish I could have taken more time. Five weeks out and I am laying down as we speak on my break (I work from home-desk job). The exhaustion is he biggest thing for me.

That’s fantastic. Hoping once I’m able to walk more successfully I’ll be able to start running again. Good for you!

I definitely see the change....congrats! You look wonderful! Keep up the good work!

How’s it going? I’m five weeks post op and still feel the same way you did in this post. Constantly putting something in my stomach. Too much.

Good luck to you and welcome.

I can’t see that being possible. I took two full weeks off from work and wish I had taken more. Five weeks out I still feel the need for a nap Due to the exhaustion.

I do too! Night time is miserable.

Your anesthesiologist should speak with you before the surgery. Talk about your concerns. He or she should alleviate your fears. You will do fine. Relax.

Congrats! Wishing you a smooth and easy recovery.
