I'm on soft solids now. I've noticed dairy is just not digesting well. Anyone else? What irritates your sleeve.... I can't digest yogurt or cheese. I found a small slice of turkey goes down ok. I'm trying egg salad today. Just boiled egg with light mayo.. Hoping that goes down ok. Trying a small teaspoon at a time ... One step forward and one step back seems like..

I'm almost three mod out and can't eat any bread..... It hurts, even toasted.

I am one month out and still on the puree diet. So far nothing has made me sick, but I have noticed that certain foods like eggs, tuna, and oatmeal sometimes will make my stomach feel full and heavy only half way through. I am not sure if that is my stomach's way of saying that it is full or not. I am still working on knowing when I am full and have had enough.

How much can you eat with the sleeve ? Like could you eat a whole banana or just a piece ?

Where did you all hear about this Ricotta Bake?

I get sleeved this Wednesday. I don't drink caffeine regularly but am curious to know why we can't drink it after the sleeve.

It is on eggfaces blog on the internet. She had gastric bypass and she loves to cook. She has lots of recipes on her blog. I liked ricotta bake myself. Its like lasagna without the pasta. It tasted good, didn't bother my sleeve and was a good source of protein.

Right after the sleeve its difficult to stay hydrated. Caffeine dehydrates by making you lose fluid. My team is ok with caffeine like 1 cup of coffee a day once you have no problem staying hydrated. The only thing my team bans forever is carbonated beverages.

Aliyah14, everyone is different. Initially, you cant tolerate much. Now I can eat about 3 oz pureed depending on what it is. Trial and error

8 months out and sugar and simple carbs so none of that for me. Which is all good.

I'm over 3 months and most days I can eat an entire banana but not that same amount of protein. That's why it's so important to eat protein first. I can fit carbs very easily. Not a good thing!

I thought the no coffee thing was from the acidity. I'm 3 weeks out and I'm going slow. I feel good with soups. Maybe at 4 weeks I'll try different textures. Clam chowder went down fine but I took out the clams it was still awesome though.

I am going on 8 mos and just about everything still irritates my sleeve but I never had a strong tummy.

Even water does it. It takes a while for that sleeve to heal...remember it is a partial amputation.

I have a half a cup of coffee a day, doesn't bother me and my NUT is fine with it.

Fish. I've tried salmon and cod and shrimp. Yuck yuck and yuck. No problems with tuna though. Weird.

So far nothing
