And I want to eat regular foods already!

Still in soft foods...

I follow my doctors orders exactly...scared to do otherwise; but I see a whole lot of people already eating pizza; bread etc.

I'm not going back to my old ways but every now and then it'd be nice to fulfill my sweet tooth or craving with a small bite!

when are you released to eat regular food? 11 weeks - wow! My doctor had us on regular foods at start of 9 weeks.

There are a lot of us that followed our doctors orders! You are not alone, although it seems like it sometimes around here

140....I have also followed everything the DR said. My thinking is I have a small window to get all my weight off and then learn how to maintain it. Why would I waste time experimenting with how to get around my sleeve when I can use this time to learn how to live a healthy life with my sleeve and be at goal !!! Pizza, bread, pasta and carbs that fill my sleeve and gives me no room for protein are just not in my life anymore...I divorced them. They were bringing me DOWN and they had to go forever. I know we all have to do the things that work for us and I am not slamming those people who can work those things into their life but for me, I can't and don't know how to integrate those things into my life and still get to goal. 140 hang in there and let's keep our eye on the prize.....smaller, healthier and happier lives that are filled with the ability to do things, not defined by what we are going to eat next. OK I'm done...sorry if this was too long and soap boxish.

11 weeks is a long time!! Good for you sticking to your dr.s advice!! It will get you where you want to be!! I was cleared to eat regular healthy lean protein and food at 6 weeks! Dr's a always seeming to be different. Pizza and pastas will come in time

If you really feel you need to satisfy that pizza craving, go over to low carb friends for some recipes. I lost a lot of weight a few years back and I made lo carb pizza all the time:) Just use some common sense and stay as close to your DR guidelines as you can.

I have never really been a pizza person.... However, I do have a sweet tooth. This might sound gross at first... but it is good and helps with the sweet tooth. I mix almond butter or Peanut Butter with sugar free chocolate pudding. OMG it takes like reases peanut butter cups. So good. Even my nutritionist said she was going to try it. When adding either of the nut butters you are adding protien to your snack. Yum
