Well I started this in September of 2012 at 475lbs. I got sleeved on 1/28 and I was at 450lbs. As of 2/28 I was at 405lbs!! For the most part this is going great. I am staying in-between 500-700 calories a day. I almost always get all my protein and fluids everyday, but today I made my first mistake. I am only supposed to start solid food on 3/11, but I was making diner for my family and I figured what would a few days early hurt if I chew real well. So I got my self a small plate out the cupboard and put a little mashed potatoes on it and a 2oz piece of very lightly breaded chicken I made homemade. Well I won't be doing that again any time soon. I spent the next 20min being violently ill. I don't know if I ate too fast or if I ate too much, or I just wasn't ready for the food. Either way I am not doing that again!!

Lesson learned!! You may have not been ready yet..

I've never thrown up but I think part of that is when I started foods I started with one thing at a time and took a bite and waited to see how it treated me. So maybe trying that when you start.

Oh and a lot of people have trouble with chicken!

I never did.. But I boil mine then shred it.

your doing great by the way!

great job on your success so far!! Keep it up :-) I had an incident very similar to yours about 5 weeks out. I had some really tender pot roast- tasted so good but I was sliming for an hour afterword. I know exactly how you feel! Next time you try it take is slow and easy. it might be fine in a month or so. I can tolerate everything now (and have since the 3 month mark) thus the name Sleeve of Steel!

I was sleeved on 1/21! I have lost 36 pounds so far. I am 4'11" and started out at 215. I have another 10 days before I can try chicken. Hoping I can tolerate it since my family eats it all the time. I dread throwing up. I was sick the first day right after my surgery and luckily have not been sick since. I am so sorry you were sick????

Great job on your weight loss. I'm only 4 days post op and I can have chicken if its blenderized with gravy or mayo to soften it up. Been too afraid to try it this early out though.
