If you consider eating Indian food normal that is

So if you're worrying you won't be able to eat or enjoy your food or be normal? Here's what I made for lunch today. Brown rice for the kids, ground beef curry, cucumber/tomato/Greek yogurt salad, palak paneer (spinach. with a homemade cheese). Apart from the rice, all good for us sleevers to eat.

I sometimes see people thinking they won't enjoy food, or that they can only have baked chicken and steamed vegetables. SO not true. I make Indian, Thai, Ethiopian, Greek etc all the time.

What is true however, is that my two kids (23 and 13) and my husband and I all ate--and we finished about a fourth of the food you see here

Feel free to post pics of what you're enjoying today that is sleeve friendly.

Dinner...

Bacon Wrapped chicken Bites with Bacon Wrapped Green Beans and Sweet Chili Sauce

When did you start eating bacon? My husband made some the other day and I wanted it so bad!

Last night lol sat good in tummy too I'm 5 months out.

We went to a Mexican restaurant yesterday. lunch was beef fajitas, barracho Beans, guacamole and salad instead of rice.

I ate most of the fajitas, some guacamole about half of the beans and 2 small bites of the salad.

How far out are you and when did you first attempt beef?

I LOVE palak paneer! I make a "healthy" version with tofu instead of paneer--lower in fat.

My husband is from Pakistan so we cook South Asian food a lot. I've been worried about being able to eat Indian/Pakistani food after being sleeved. I suppose if I stay away from the rice and the naan bread I should be OK.

Thanks for posting!

I am able to eat a little brown rice. I use chicken broth to make it.

I am almost 14 months out but I've been able to eat beef since I was allowed solids. My sleeve hasn't had a problem with anything except sugar and fat the entire time.

I started eating beef around 6-7 weeks out after I was cleared for solids. Never had an issue with beef, except when I eat too much by accident haha. chicken gives me a lot more trouble.

I found ground beef easy from soft foods onward. Thin sliced stirfry beef was always fine on solids and steak by 3 months or so. I could probably have gone faster.

By the way someone asked about bacon. I had it in the soft food phase because I could chew it well.

I'm having 2 little appetizers of manchego cheese wrapped in Serrano ham(maybe not the lowest fat but 9grams protein), a few raspberries and a few smoke almonds!

I have those same little bowls from target! It makes serving my meals so much easier. When I use regular size plates / bowls I over serve myself.

I saw them on clearance a few weeks ago and snatched them up for that exact reason plus the fox was perfect! My kids love that song(if you can call it a song lol)

I started on ground beef when I was allowed solids. Bout 8-9 weeks. Mostly everything sits well with my sleeve.....fortunate or unfortunately

Prime rib (fat trimmed), mashed potatoes and a bit of broccoli (some veggies are still hard to eat depending on the day). I'm nearly three months out
