Hello everyone, this is my first time on this site. Well have been reading but first time telling my story. I had my surgery on May 4th and so far so good. But I have noticed every commerical on TV is food. I do not have a hunger pain but I feel it is in my head and I want to eat everything and no full well I can not. I an on liquid diet until the 18th and so far I have done SF popsicles, SF Water ice, Tomato Soup, and of course Protein Shake. I am lookking for different ideas - anyone?

You know, I'm not much of a TV watcher but the time window when I do have it on is from 6 to 8 pm and the

almost non-stop food commercials amazed me. I know they are gunning for the dinner market but wow.

BTW, my program said no Tomato products until you move to full food due to the acid. I've read so many people

here who are eating tomato Soup so I went ahead and tried it yesterday. It seemed to have agreed with me just

fine yesterday but today, having it a second time, I think it did irritate me quiet a bit. Aside from little issues I've

not have too many big problems but tonight I feel like something is stuck in my throat so I'm backing off of the

tomato soup. It's too bad because it was wonderful. Made me feel like I was actually having real food. But I can

wait another couple of weeks to be safe.

I was sleeved on the 3rd and I had Cream of Mushroom Soup today and it was great. Also, have cream of chicken and golden mushroom Soups in the cupboard for the next few days. What about yogurt? Last week I was eating a lot of chicken broth and before surgery I had reserved some liquid from a previous batch of my beef stew and it was great to have post-op, just liquid, no pieces.

I was thinking about yougurt but what is good that does not have pieces and low in fat and no sugar?

I'm worried that I will feel light headed and weak after my surgery because of not eating enough calories. My body is so used to having a few thousand calories per day then all of a sudden I will only we consuming 500-700 a day. Does your body feel like it's going into shock, weak, light headed, dizzy, etc. Or because your tummy is so much smaller you don't feel that way. ??

You know after you get in your Protein in you will feel really good. Yesterday, the first thing I did when I got up was my Protein shake and I felt great. Today I got a shower first with no Protein Shake and I feel weak...so I learned my lesson :)

Hi - can you tell me where you add your ticker to show up each time? I created one but am not sure how to add it - thanks

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
