Im planning to have my sleeve done by Dr. Peter Kwon at Tristate Bariatrics. Has anyone else here had him as a surgeon?

Hey I'm good. Feels good to have the staples out. Still surviving with my shakes. How about you?

I am doing good also the shakes are not agreeing with me. I have been doing a lot of reading of different diet to see what other doctor's diets are. I have not tried anything except for some broth.

I tried some Fage yogurt today. 2 ounces. Had no problem & felt full. Our doc is very strict compared to others who are in the same stage as we are.

I am glad to know I am not alone, in wanting something to eat. I picked up some protein shots which help a lot 2sips and I get my protein in 21 grams. The whole shot is 42. I did try some sugar free jello and I did feel full.I think I am gonna try some yogurt.

I've been doing the sugar free jello since the first week out. Let me know how you make out

It went down ok. I am staring to get hungry. Even with the protein. I had some yogurt today that filled me up. I can't wait to eat. Have you tried soup at all?

No. No soup for me. Not really a fan. I'm ready to advance to purée. Think I will try some hummus. Are we suppose to go another week on liquids? Torture!!

I have strained soup but today I did have egg salad and everything went ok. I feel ready too to start mushy food I am getting hungry between protein. We due have 1 more week I figured but Thursday I would try some chicken.

Omg there's no way I can last another week. Think I will try some egg salad. Ugh this is the pits

I am just afraid to hurt myself inside. I just find it hard to only have shake.

Me too. Nervous. I will try small amounts. I think we have to do purée then mushy

It has to be the consistency of chicken salad soft food. Joe never did puree he just chew really well.

Did he lose a lot of weight? What was his time frame? Worried because I'm going to Miami this summer and have had issues being uncomfortable on those damn planes

I don't know anyone else who's had this surgery. All my friends had lapband & had them removed. No other procedures. They all gained a ridiculous amount of weight back.

He is doing great he was sleeved by Dr kwon on October 1st. He has lost around 60-70 pounds already. He went in wearing a size 48 and just bought a size 40 pants.
