Is it possible to live on FF refried beans and blue crabs?



Recommended Posts

I am finding lots of foods my Sleevilla will tolerate but not many that sit there and make everything feel all peaceful and happily satisfied except Beans and crab. Is it humanly possible to just eat these two things? (Not really serious, but kind of.)

What foods make your sleeve happiest? I know my tolerance will grow, but I seem to be stuck in the soft food stage.

I seem very limited right now too. All of a sudden I'm starting to feel nauseous after eater most things. I know it is probably just a phase, but kinda stinks! I should be able to add new foods, but I'm afraid to!

I'm 4 months out and I seem to be on a yogurt and cheese routine. They go down the best for me.

i'm 3 days out..... lol so Water and anything cold (except a popsicle) doesn't sit well. Tea and broth (well actually I hated the broth so I just strained cambells chicken noodle)....that's the stuff. Right now though, honestly? I'm just hoping to be able to eat at all eventually!!!

Have you tried scallops, shrimp or grilled fish? These all go down wonderfully for me. They are a main staple in my diet. I also found sauteed spinach to go easily in the early days. If you have a Whole Foods around you they have some terrific Soups my favorite is the tortilla chicken. If you scoop it right you can get quite a bit of savory moist chicken. I find cheese stick and cubed cheese to be good along with deli meat. Hope this helps! :)

Oh, I do love quiche! I was making those on my soft foods and forgot all about them. Thanks for the reminder. I've not tried ham salad yet, that's a great idea. And what exactly is in spinach souffle? It looks so gross, but I do like spinach. If it has feta in it, even better!

I am so lucky that anything and everything goes down and feels fine. I have tried it all, even rice and Pasta but I also didn't get that much restriction (which I have mixed feelings about- happy I can still enjoy food and unhappy I can still enjoy food!)

Have you tried other types of beans- black Beans or black bean Soup is a fav of mine.

How does tuna fish salad work for you?

I made pan seared scallops for the first time last night and it was yum-tastic! The sautéed spinach kinda scares me, but Hope tol give it a try soon

My little tummy has yet to meet anything she hates. Fish, shrimp, lobster, crab, beef, yogurt, cheese, Beans, chicken, lentils...bring it all! I haven't tried bread, Pasta and sugar but feel pretty sure she'd gobble those up with delight if I let her.

Always did say I had the constitution of an ox....

I feel like everything I eat just sits in my throat for a few minutes then goes down. I'm still eating like only 2 to 3 bites of food then I'm full. I'm going in to my 7th week and hopefully I will start to be able to eat more and drink more so I can loose this weight.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
