I I'm only 9 days or so out and curious when some of you talk about your sleeve not liking certain things exactly what happens. Like celery or broccoli seems to be a problems for some so what would happen when you have this?

Anytime I eat something my sleeve doesn't like, I get cramping. I would advise as you introduce foods slowly, only do a small bite & see how it goes. Once I got out of liquid stage, I found it hard to do some of the soft stuff at first ( couldn't even eat just one whole scrambled egg for a while) but it got better. Couldn't tolerate Peanut Butter. Everyone is different....so be patient & listen to your body :-)

I can eat pretty much anything I want but in small portions. I can eat one fried egg and two pieces of bacon and feel stuffed! Also, a few small bites of chicken or other meat fills me up!

If I eat too fast or too much, I'm sick!

So by getting sick do you mean vomit, pain, or bathroom stuff? I hope the few bites you his mention are my future. I'm on day 9 and the purée phase is leaving me quite hungry

No food, and I mean nothing, has bothered Timmy, my tiny tummy. That being said, I have bothered Timmy. If I eat too fast or don't chew enough, it feels like a lump in my throat, and it is seriously uncomfortable. Only time helps it pass. It's a mistake that none of us wants to make on a regular basis!

Broccoli is hard to chew mushy enough, and it takes up too much room and keeps me from eating my Protein. Lack of Protein is my trigger for hunger , not fullness. That's the real reason I avoid certain foods. For example , if I have a green salad at lunch, I am ready to gnaw on my knuckles within an hour and a half. If I add egg or chicken to it, I'm good until my next meal.

We are all different , and you will find what's works and doesn't work for you. Enjoy the ride!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
