@@athomas125 that's awesome!

Ok I'm going to be honest and am totally expecting the shame spiral in a minute, but I'm having a grilled cheese for lunch. I'm 10 days post op, not even supposed to be on solids yet, although I've been handling yogurt, hummus and ricotta just fine, and I had a falafel ball last night which I handled really well. So.... totally breaking the rules.

Rmspencer, Eat it if you must must maybe just 3 bites and chew chew chew. Maybe just eating the cheese will satisfy your urge.

Yup, I agree with Peek. We will all have those moments. Just be careful. and chew chew chew. I've seen posts in the complications section where they are 5 to 8 weeks out and get a leak. Just chew and be safe !!!

rmspencer, are you confessing because you want us to talk you out of it, or? I was concerned for you when I read this. I think it is normal for us to want to test the boundaries, but there is always a price to pay. You've told us the truth about you grilled cheese sandwich, perhaps you can follow-up with how it went for you?

grilled cheese was my favorite food in the world. 5 guys, bars, home, work, it's all i ate sometimes. i'm avoiding it like the plague now. one thing you might want to try for your cheese fix is some nice cheese at the supermarket and some whtle weat crackers. slice a few pieces and then wait. your new small stomach should be full without the dangers of a grilled cheese. good luck :)

Thanks guys! I ate half/am eating half and without the crust and chewing/eating very slowly and it's going fine. I've really missed chewing.

RM, my physician said incisional pain is normal for about a month. I hope your grilled cheese went down ok!

Update on the grilled cheese: I only had 5 small bites (this is probably a quarter of a sandwich). I ate it very slowly, chewed at least 20 times before it mushed and basically just went down. I feel guilty about it now and know it was a bad decision. I'm having a little discomfort, but no more than at the beginning when I drank too fast and to gauge how much liquid my new stomach could take.

I'm disappointed in myself for giving into the craving, but at the same time glad because while the first bite was amazing, by the end I wasn't even enjoying it at all.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
