Thicvick, you'll do fine! I'm not going to lie and say its easy because it isn't! But I will say you will do fine! I'm at day 3. I got up, dressed and headed out with hubby. I even made the bed! After his appointment, we're gonna run by Target and Redbox and it's back to bed for me. You have to take it easy!

After getting sick time after time, I now realize that I can't eat chicken! Can't imagine my life without chicken but that's the way it's gonna be! But, I am down 22lbs post-op and 40lbs overall!!!

Ok....it may not be the chicken....it's probably my swollen tummy. I'll give it a couple weeks then try the chicken again.

You were sleeved day before me. It will be a while yet before I can eat chicken. So I'd say wait a few weeks and try again.

My advice to you is to stay away from the chicken for now. Let your sleeve heal, it needs time. I know all surgeons have different rules but mine said not to start chicken or meat until the 5th week post op. Before that it was liquids, soft foods, mushy foods, stuff like that. That being said, even at 5 weeks out, chicken was hard. I'm 2.5 years out now and chicken still fills me up quickly.

I would suggest waiting a while and when you are ready for solids then start with softer Proteins like tilapia or tuna. Chicken and steak are very dense and are hard on the sleeve. It could be a few months before you are comfortable with them.

I sincerely appreciate the advice. The meal plan for this stage from my NUT includes soft, juicy meats (chicken salad, egg salad, juicy lean meats, moist fish, etc.). I don't know how things are going to go from meal to meal. Last night, I had baked Swai and it went down fine. I had the exact same fish for lunch and it wasn't so good. It's all definitely a learning experience!

Yup, welcome to the life of a sleever. There are still days that I can eat one thing and the next day it makes me feel gross.

All diet plans are so different. Just remember to give yourself time. If it doesn't feel right, don't eat it again for a while. Eventually, you really will be able to eat most things again. I know it seems like forever from now but it will happen.

Lainey so glad all went well and your coming along just fine. Are you on YouTube or planning to document your journey in a similar fashion? My 21 year old daughter is being sleeved in March as well my poor hubby will be pulling his hair out caring for us both lol but she's planning to do the YouTube thing. I love watching everyone else's progress but not sure about doing one myself.

Hi Curvy! I think I'm gonna keep journaling here! There's a bit of comfort amongst a like-minded community. YT would be too much of an audience for me.

Post op day 5 and I am doing great.. Im still on my full liquid diet so today I made a Lima bean & corn Soup took the broth of that and stored it away for me later. It was really good. I am 13lb down pre op and 4lb post op.. I cant wait to get these staples out they are a little irritating.

Girl I was a slave to the scale and it controlled if I would have a good day or would I be depressed seeing a higher number.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
