So as a mom of two girls, we tend to have pizza once a week for dinner. The girls love to snack on popcorn too. And to boot, this week was a bake sale at school where I had to make brownies. Just out of c curiosity, at what point will I be able to have a bite of any of those items? I am 3 weeks post-op and doing a liquid diet so I guess I am still daydreaming about regular food

I guess i thought that pasta, bread and grains were a no-no after being sleeved. I love Quinoa! And so healthy. I eill chk my local Trader Joes. Thank you!!!

Thank you for all of the information! This post is a keeper =) Tons of great comments!!!

I'm about 5 weeks out and have fallen into temptation! I too can eat nearly a whole slice no crust in about twenty min. I feel horrible bc I know it's not in the diet plan but I feel so dam deprived and it didn't hurt to eat it

@Catracks - where did you find the quinoa Pasta? I love the grain and usually cook it in my rice cooker but I'm afraid I won't be able to have it anymore once I'm sleeved in mid-June. I also wanted to ask anyone' date=' once sleeved I understand that I will need to chew my food extremely well. Will it be that way forever? Thanks![/quote']

I am three mths out and if I don't chew thoroughly, things get stuck and I slime. Sleevie saying "slow down and chew!!" so yes, it's a forever thing. And your sleeve will remind you if you aren't doing a good job. Lol

My doctor cleared me to eat anything after two weeks. My sleeve is pretty good and so far I haven't gotten sick. Despite the clearance, I didn't eat just anything. I was listening to my body and only ate what felt good in my tummy. Lentils, yogurt, eggs feel pretty good (I am 4 weeks out). I have made myself a healthy version of a pizza, but after the first couple of bites I'm not sick, but also I don't feel as good as with other foods. I love popcorn, and as I took my daughter to see the Whimpy Kid movie, I thought I would try one. I ended up not doing so. It was just not appetizing. I listened yo my body, not force anything you know? Maybe some day.
