Congradz! Yes I'm always shrinking and excited for that. Craving food like steak <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> you having any strange cravings? I know im far far away from having that with all the food stages. I bet our tummies feel tight or something because of swelling? I really just feel sore type pains now

I was sleeved on 7/30 and am also craving meat of any kind. I want to devour a steak or chicken breast! Well, that and Mac and cheese, oh no!

The funny thing is there are things that "sound good" but I am not dying to get them. Before surgery however I wanted to jump through the tv screen anytime a commercial came on for food

I am going to admitthat I have experimented with softfoods already. I am on a 2 week liquid and was dying. I was intaking 90 oz of Fluid (no joke - oncluding the shakes and soup) and 60 grams of Protein and was having hunger. I had a movie date with my nephews and they wanted Chinese. The lady did not charge me. I ate broth, a small piece of crab, a small puece of chicken, and a quarter of a small chicken meatball. And I felt Full. Satisfied full. No pains, no discomfort. Just blessed relief! Lol. And it was not enough to keep a baby alive! Lol. I chewed everything into a pulp and everything was super soft. I have been reading this forum and some people sleeved only days before us are on soft foods already. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

PS: hummus and mac n cheese would e amazing!

It was nice to chew. And was nice to have something other than sweet.

Did every one on here get sleeved on 7/31?? And your eating regular food? ?? I am still on liquids and some puréed food.

I was sleeved 7/30. Week 1 Clear Liquids, week 2 - 3 full liquids, week 4 puréed and week 5 soft foods. To be honest though I am considering bumping up puréed to week 3 and softs to week 4. I feel like a rebel but am struggling on liquids. It appears surgeons are so different. I'm not wanting to fight the system, just want to feel normal.

[Esmeralda75 26]

Are you feeling hungry?? I don't feel hungry at all hut when I smell food I want to have some, I have taken a bit of something chewed it and spit it put just to stop my craving and it works for me. I am on puréed and mushy stuff this week I am a day after you.

Liquids here

[Patti K 98]

My hospital's program is over-cautious (their own words) so two weeks post-op is liquids. I have been on liquids for a time before surgery too so I think that caused my need to experiment. Plus, I would bot recommed it if you are not etting plenty of fluids and Protein as is.
