Welcome.

I tried avocado today. I smashed it up with some onions, tomato, lemon juice, salt and pepper. I am not supposed to have raw veggies or fruits unless very soft. I thought they were, but my sleeve fought back a little. I could feel it trying to come back up. I paired it with about 1.5 oz of tuna. It was good, but I will make sure I smash it a bit more and eat it sparingly.

Have you guys downloaded the BARITASTIC app? I downloaded it to my cell phone. It is free. They have a couple of convenient timers to use when you can drink before and after, Vitamin reminders, and they have been texting me some motivating messages.

so I put some effort into my dinner tonight this is a concoction I layered the bottom with sour cream and avocado and the meat mixture has white beans ground beef some canned tomatoes garlic salt pepper some cilantro etc. You can see the tiny ass container that I'm using and I'm still barely able to finish it but tonight I made myself finish it because I know I'm not eating enough it was good but I still got the Burpee feeling in my chest which is annoying I'm still probably going to fast I don't know. I feel OK I don't feel like it's going to come back up but I really need to work on getting more in me because I know I won't lose weight if I'm starving

How many calories have you been taking in? and are you meeting your Protein goal?

Your dinner sounds and looked yummy.

I had a cup of coffee today. Black no sugar or cream. It was kind of like I am getting back to somewhat normal.

Oh the turkey pepperoni was fantastic!

Soft vegetables are not agreeing with sleevie. I get really bad cramping. I cooked them real good and soft but puked them up. You having any trouble with veggies?

Mini cupcakes at work. Not fair

My sleeve has tried soft, steamed broccoli and a little bit of yellow squash/zucchini I cooked in the slow cooker with a pork roast. The sleeve tolerated it. The amounts were very small. I have had some raw veggies and my sleeve is not tolerating them as well.

Sorry it is not agreeing. What did you try?

Work is a daily gauntlet of delectable goodies. I think it's a universal given! So far I've stayed strong! ????

Steamed carrots, not trying that again for a while. Co workers watching

@@retrieverguy I think I tried some carrots too with the zucchini. Yes, I would try and limit them for now.

Have you been going to work or is this your first day back?

i would take a cup cake and have a bite or two if i was closer to goal lol.

im going back to Protein shakes for a little while. it's the easiest thing to count and i don't feel well most of the time so it doesn't bother me not to eat food right now.

dinner sat fine. i had cinnamon tea later on last night and that was nice. i always feel icky in the morning but that's due to my inherent stomach issues that i had before surgery. so i chew my dreaded Vitamins and Calcium. then take a pepcid. then wait for things to settle. today im having a Protein shake for Breakfast and i'll have yogurt later cuz i think it actually helps with digestion.

in other news im wearing someone i haven't worn in a while so i'll use that as my motivation to continue and not be upset that i don't feel well cuz i really don't care that much truth be told. least i'm losing.

i haven't tried veggies. nor do i miss veggies lol. i will start using cauliflower soon to make some of the lowcarb stuff i used to make (fried "rice" and "pizza") but haven't tried it yet.

have a great day everyone. xo

I have switched to decaf and it is not the same. But I keep trying to like it, but find tea, even decaf, tastes better.
