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 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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
