Today is my husband's birthday and we decided to go eat at a seafood restaurant in our town. I told the waitress that I recently had weight loss surgery and I can only eat a tiny bit. She suggested ordering off the kids menu and that she would ask the chef to boil 4 shrimp for me. I was stoked that she was so accomodating. Well the shrimp came and I found them to be a bit to chewy. BTW this was the first time to eat meat Protein so doing it in a restaurant was nerve wracking! Anyway, I decided I would try some of my husbands baked flounder. I was able to eat about an ounce and a few bites of baked potato (swiped off my daughters plate ). I was so happy everything went down great. I definately feel like I got fuller faster. I can usually eat 2 oz of refried Beans without difficulty, so I was a bit surprised to only eat a tiny bit of fish. However, I have some yummy leftovers that is going to make a wonderful bedtime snack

Just wanted to share......this is a huge deal for me and I am so happy!

Wonderful

That's awesome! I am so glad you are feeling better.

Yay! I find steamed/baked fish goes down comfortably. Sometimes boiled shrimp works, but it works best cold with remoulade or cocktail sauce (aka "food lube"). I still can only eat 2 moderate-sized shrimp at a time. I'm so glad things went well for you!

You will find things go down different at different times. Like 2 days ago I could only eat maybe an ounce of steak, but tonight I put down 2 oz of talapia, an ear of corn and some green beans!

Great news! Glad to hear things are going so well for you after such a rocky start! YAYYY!

Oh, I'm so glad you were able to celebrate with your husband and enjoy your meal too! Congrats. Congrats on your first meat protein too.

It's really good to hear that you're doing so well.

What a great success for you after all the trouble you had in the beginning!!!!! :clap2: :high5: Great job and keep working that sleeve!!!

Thank you all so very much!!! 2 weeks ago I would of never thought I'd be able to go to a restaurant! I was doing good to get in 4 oz of protein shake. Even though I did have a rough time at first I am so thankful for the sleeve! Especially now that I am down 35lbs in 5 weeks!! WOOHOO!

So happy for you girl you deserve it after everything you've been through!

Thank you!! I had some crab legs today and was so happy. Each day does get better! How is your recovery going? I hope well

So happy for you girl you deserve it after everything you've been through!
