I'm pre-sleeve, so I can't tell you from experience for the reason why after you've been sleeved. I know for me, I've never been a red meat eater. It's strange. I don't like steak or hamburgers. I FEEL like its hard on my stomach, that it is hard for my stomach to break it down or something. Just HEAVY, if that makes any sense. I tend to like seafood (lighter) and chicken (but can't be dry).

So eat all that yummy seafood! Packed full of protein! There are a ton of recipes for shrimp ... And it's easy to travel to and from work with without much prepping.

Hope the helps. :)

Your body will naturally crave the things it feels it needs. Seafood being soft easily digest able Proteins make an ideal source for both Protein and Omega3 fatty acids. Fish is great for you.

I am lucky to be in Louisiana. Enjoyed a few boiled shrimp this weekend. Craving oysters but not sure how my stomach will handle on the half shell; may need to get the charbroiled. So far the only red meat I've had has been very thinly sliced and a few bites are good enough. chicken is the pits though - just too dense & dry to get down. Got a case of slime from a bite & ew....

There are so many ways to have seafood - you will find something to satisfy you.

I love raw oysters. My band is relatively loose. I only have problems with Pasta, bread, and if I try to eat when I’m starving. My experience with raw oysters is it depends on the size of the oyster and how tight your band is. I did 6 small oysters with absolutely no problem. Slid right down

Bacon is really fatty and I have found that any fatty meat does not go well. Also, chicken is OUT, no matter how it is cooked. I've had really good luck with seafood and steak of all things. My entire palette changed though, everything tastes different. Especially after having to chew it so much! I tried flame grilled oysters the other day for the first time and they went really well. It's been a lot of trial and error, some things are starting to taste/go down better as I get further out so I figure I will work on the chicken in another few months. Just keep trying things, even foods you didn't like before, you might be surprised.

I’m 3 weeks out and wants to kno can I have fried okra

I wouldn't try anything fried. I am 9 months out and stay away from fried foods. They are not good for you.

That isn’t going to be easy on your new stomach at all. I’d recommend you invest in an air fryer, it will help curb the fried food cravings. Especially if you find a nice almond flour/keto breading recipe.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
