Are you not allowed dressing on your plan? Mine says fat-free salad dressing is fine. I also make a good dressing with spicy brown mustard, stevia and water. It's runny but it tastes good, like honey mustard dressing.

OMG! I think I drooled a little!!

That looks so good! I'm dying for a salad!

I was sleeved on 11/29/18. I looked through the Food Phase 1, 2 & 3 guide the surgeon's office gave me but it says nothing about when we could start eating salads or raw veggies again. I remember the nutritionist saying all my veggies had to be steamed or cooked till soft, but for how long? I really want a salad with grilled chicken or shrimp.

I didn't lose anything the first week really. In fact, I came out of the hospital weighing 10 pounds heavier after 48 hours of IV fluids, Pepcid and protonix. It took several days to get rid of the excess fluid. I'm 2 weeks post op today and the scale is finally moving in the right direction. I've lost just over 8lbs since surgery

Thank you

This is one of CauliPower Pizza's. I'm 13 days post op. This is all I could eat

Gas pain. Heating pad, gas X and walk, walk, walk it off! Hope you feel better!

I've heard that everyone has a tale when they are full - from sneezing, hiccups, runny nose, etc. I get this awful tightness in my chest and then pain. Sometimes it takes my damn breath away it's so bad. Is it always going to be this way?I thought about keeping it a secret and did until about half way through the process until I really thought about it and decided I really didn't care what others opinions were on the matter because I am doing this for me, not for them. Now I have a Facebook page that I invite everyone too. Surprisingly enough everyone has been very supportive. I have no shame in what I am doing for myself, you shouldn't either!Congrats! Hope everything is well. Remember to walk, walk, walk!How long before surgery was your last bowel movement? Maybe you need a DulcolaxSounds like me after washing my 2 dogs. I'm 2 weeks post-op. I think you and I both over did it!Thanks Kathy!! I'm ready to get on to bigger and better things! This road has been rough!!
