There’s a copycat Olive Garden Alfredo recipe that I have with broccoli and it’s to die for!! Olive Garden is also my fav ?? zuppa Toscana is also easy to make at home!!

My surgery was in July, but My favorite NSV so far is: Went to universal and fit on every ride easily. Last time I went I couldn’t do two of the rides!

So cute!!

It is slowly going away for me now! Almost gone :)

I can stand in the shower longer and totally thought my non slip mat (it looks like river rocks kinda) was crappy because it always punched my feet and hurt. I just randomly realized today that it doesn’t hurt nor pinch anymore! So it was my weight making that happen not the mat!

This made me cry happy tears! I’m so happy for you! I can’t wait to be there

I’m so jealous! I was having extreme cravings as soon as I woke up lol. The first week was torture. They are getting better though lol

Okay I just did, and Yep, worked like a dream. I can’t believe I’m 37 and learning how to sip water ???

Yes exactly!!!! That sounds exactly like it! I’m always putting my hand to my chest when I’m eating too! Even tho I don’t think the pain is there, it’s lower…. But yes I do be burping a lot more and the discomfort is there right before a burp too.

I’m not sure I have that! But I’m having a really hard time figuring out when I’m hungry! I never feel hungry just cravings I think.

Okay so you’re right. But I think I am just incapable of taking that little of a sip without air. So that little sip always has air in it, which mean discomfort, or it’s a bit too big so discomfort. BUT a you are also right because since I posted this to now the discomfort is a tad better so safe to assume that with time, it will be even better. Thanks for helping me

I thought I am but let me try even smaller! I’m not quite at the chewing yet because everything is puréed but if I miss a piece yes I’m very careful to chew well! I’m pretty sure I’ve tried smallest drinks I can, but I get more air when I do tiny drinks. I feel like it hurts more so I take small not tiny drinks. (This is so hard to explain haha) I’ll do even smaller bites today and let you know! Thank you for taking the time to respond! sarah

I’m so sorry if this has already been asked and answered. I’m new here. Since day one, liquid, or purée (not on solids yet) no matter how fast or slow, how big the drink or bite is… there is a little bit of discomfort with every swallow. Not in my throat but lower, like between throat and stomach? Or maybe it is stomach, hard to tell. It’s like if I swallowed a giant pill and a bunch of air. (pre op). It’s not bad and this whole time I just assumed it was normal, didn’t even talk to my doc about it, because I didn’t think of it, but now I’m like wait… is this normal? Is this forever? Once in awhile it’s a little bit painful and I have a burp, so I assume that’s gas. But what about the just minor discomfort feeling down there? It lasts one or two seconds, Does everyone have that? for reverence I had the sleeve and I’ve kept everything down. I’m on week three and haven’t thrown anything up or had any real pain, just this minor discomfort. thanks! Sarah

My first stall was week one I was still on clear liquid only!!! and the scale didn’t move for 4 days!! and I lose weight FAST at the beginning no matter what I try. I was like, what the heck? That scale is such a jerk!

Another thing that helped me through week one was sonic ice (you can buy the bags, or if you don’t have sonic whatever place by you that has ice chips) and Powerade zero blue (or whatever your favorite sugar free drink is) I did all ice then a splash of that and ate the ice and it felt like a snow cone lol
