Checkin in on my fellow 17th'ers!! How's everyone doing? I been feeling pretty good. I can drink 52 ozs of fluid pretty easy now... My goal today is the big 64. I am so ready to get to pureed foods!!!!!!! One lady posted some great pureed recipes and I am anxious to try them. Im down 21 pds!

It is marked as a private group so you will need to friend one of the members so they can invite you. You can friend me at: http://www.facebook.com/MrJonathan & I'll invite ya.

I have tried clicking on your link and from my cell phone, I cannot make it work but I would really love to be on the Octo sleevers Facebook page. Can you help me with this?? Thanks!!

I was sleeved 10/18 and have lost 10 lbs post op. I'm totally struggling with making wise food choices on a consistent basis throughout the day. Today I decided to lay my main food choices out on the kitchen counter to keep a visual reminder - I think that should be a strong reminder to keep on track.

I really enjoy reading all of your experiences and encouragement to each other!

Hope you all have a very successful day!

I was exactly one week out on election day. I feel awful that I want to eat some of my same old crap! With my doc, of course I am still on clears until Nov 7 but I was crazy hungry one day, or so I thought, and decided to skip to the soft food stage and have a boiled egg. Huge mistake!! One tiny bite and my body rejected that!! I do not know how I kept from throwing up my shoes!! Anyway, all of that to say, this is a daily struggle for me, at least. I am seeing now that every bite has a consequence. How profound! If I'd figured that out 20 years ago, I'd never have gotten here!! Keep on keeping on and we shall be huge success stories, I can hear it now!!

Jealous! When were you sleeved? What are you looking forward to eating in this next phase that you haven't had yet?

Sleeved the 17th.... I just eat alot of tilapia. Eating too fast or too much hurts!!!! It takes me about 35 mins to eat 21/2 ozs of fish (1/2 a filet). I like seafood and so im sticking with it. Its soft and chews up well and goes down smooth! Plus high in Protein!

I'm still exhausted. Even on my good days' date=' if i do something like go shopping for a couple hours, i'm pooped the rest of the day! I think it's still a little surgery aftermath and also hard because we aren't really having food yet, so we just don't feel our old selves. This is my first week back to work and it's killing me already! And i have a desk job![/quote']

Glad to know I'm not the only one... altho I must admit I am feeling much better 2day and each day ... I hope it is the same for u ....
