My surgery was August 1st. I was 297 prior to surgery and 283 the day of. I am nearly 2 months post op and have been living off of 1/2 cup of low fat refried black beans and Danon Greek yogurt. I do cook meals for my husband and I indulge myself to 1 spoonful of a taste and it satisfies me. My 2 month is 10/1 and I am looking forward to being able to eat real food instead of soft stuff.

Congrats Everyone!

Hi all! I am almost 2 months out (7 weeks- sleeved August 13th!) I am on two antiacids a day (PPI) for the acidity which on some days can be quite uncomfortable! I dropped 25 pounds in the 7 weeks but I started out a relatively low bmi (approx 36) I eat chicken (very soft), tuna, salmon. Tons of lentils and beans, low fat cheeses, fish, and quinoa. However I have stalled for the past week. Did anyone experience this? Am I eating too many carbs? (Quinoa, crackers, some fruit) please help!!!

I was sleeved on aug. 20. I'm down 35lbs. I go to the gym 4 times a week. I'm able to do 45 min of cardio. And full body circuit training machines. I feel great!! I can pretty much eat anything, still have issues with some fruits. Like grapes.. But for the most part I can get and keep down most foods. ( healthy choice options of coarse ) and when it comes to pasta or rice I eat maybe a half cup and I'm full. So my Tool the sleeve is working wonderfully. Breakfast- Cheerios with no fat milk, I like over the moon brand it taste like 2%. Or I'll make egg whites and cheese omelet with half a slice of wheat toast. 1/2 cup coffee sweetened with Splenda or tea with Splenda

Lunch: chicken caesar salad. About a cup of lettuce and 4 oz of chicken. Or a turkey and cheese with whole wheat wrap with sprouts and shredded carrots. Fat free ranch dressing

Dinner: fish, chicken, ground turkey basically any protein with rice or potato and a side veg. Last night was baked cod, rice pilaf, and green beans.

I have not got sick once, knock on wood. But I do feel when I'm full and stop before any discomfort. My NUT says I'm doing great and options are good as well as portion size. My response 4 weeks ago would of not been so happy I hated the liquid part and purée stages. But got thru it!!!!

Hope all my fellow August sleevers are doing well!!! And everyone else too!!!' :)
