I'm 3 weeks out & I craved a pickle & a cucumber and I started eating the pickle and ate the whole thing! Also, ate a cucumber and both did not upset my stomach at all... was able to eat all of the pickle... I've not been able to eat anything like that at all! I wasn't trying to eat the whole thing by the way... anyway, anyone else have foods that are okay like that? It scared me actually, I was thinking oh my word I ate this whole thing????

I'm 9 days out and I was wondering about the samething. I make a really great dish with, cucmbers, tomatoes, jalapeños, red onions and shrimp, with lime juice on top of the whole mixture and alittle bit of ketup for color. Well, this is a low-carb, low-fat dish. I was wondering if anyone else can eat ceviche still.

I'm 2 weeks out and just starting soft foods today according to my surgeons plans. Wow and you guys are on normal foods. I' m not suppose to until week 5&6. Citrus is a no no until after week 6 and I'm completely healed they don't want anything increasing acid levels and irritating the suture line. Guess every doctor plan is different, good luck and watch the spicy foods.

yeah I wasn't sure if I was supposed to eat a pickle or not but I did... I won't if I'm not supposed to but I was surprised that I could eat it... trust me not everything is like that... I've been only able to eat very little of anything else in my soft food stage....so when I ate the pickle I surprised.

3rd week I was only able to eat soft foods according to my diet plan set forth by my doctors office. If you don't know what you're supposed to eat, you might talk with your nut first,,eating the wrong thing can cause some damage. Be careful :)

I live in Panama and I started trying Ceviche about 3.5 weeks out. I had no problems but it was very citrusy. Now I have found a brand that I like and it is going down great! It's the custom here to eat it with saltine type crackers so I do miss those right now.

I am wondering why you are not following your doctor's diets? At 5 weeks I choked on a small piece of chicken. All I hear is that your foods this early out will stretch the sleeve. I went through too much for this. Please be careful.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out 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? 🤷‍♀️
