Any 12/21/15 sleevers: How are you doing?

[GibbsGirl 483]

I was released to soft foods today. Doctor was please with my progress, he also understood I am having to get my Protein away from The more milk type shakes. I was able to eat one egg, it was good but I did have a unnaturally full feeling. I tried yogurt this afternoon and it was a no go. I'm thinking milk type products are out for a while. I am worried about my protein and am buying Unjury (powder) tomorrow. A bit disappointed but it's a process right. So egg drop Soup and Water tonight. Whoo hooo!!!

Premier Protein is on sale now at costco. I got some yesterday and I like it a lot.

There was a coupon in Sunday's paper for $4 off 1 Premier Protein. I buy this at Walmart if that helps anyone out.

Any suggestion for a strong gas relief medication? Do you take it before or after the meals?

[Ronjohn 84]

Gasx strips is the only thing my surgeon approved.

So how is everyone doing. I got up to 6,000 steps today (this was a personal best since I got my fitbit) and I am excited for what the future holds. Eating chicken, fish, turkey, and a lot of Protein Drinks. It has been two weeks and two days since my surgery.

I've got one more week until soft foods. How's everyone on them already feeling? Is it uncomfortable? What's your limit? 1tbsp? 2tbsp serving sizes? Just curious!

[Ronjohn 84]

Couple ounces is pretty much my limit, or I feel pretty cruddy. The first time I had eggs they were heavenly, which is funny since I don't normally eat eggs. LOL

My biggest problem was gas not the food.

when did you first try eggs?

[Ronjohn 84]

I had eggs one week post op. They are part of my puree stage.

I have used Gas Ex Thin Strips before eating and they have been very helpful

Congrats keep up the good work! ...I have done more exercise this week too ...my highest number of steps this week was a little over 11,000 ...which I'm sure was out of the ordinary ...but my average is around 6,650 steps ... I have even braved the cold this week as I have taken time to walk around the parking lots of the hospital next door to my office building. I'm usually battling chronic fatigue but have felt like i have more energy since my surgery although I have had some days I have felt exhausted. Going to keep working at it!

40 since 12/13 and 23 since being sleeved on 12/23. My clothes actually fit.... ;p

Went out to dinner last night with my wife and had a bowl of cream Soup. It wasn't real large and I ate maybe 2/3rd. I think I ate too much and felt lousy for an hour... Be careful if u eat out. Measuring is hard to do...

Congrats on the weight loss! ... I haven't braved eating out yet ... I don't get to eat soft foods until next week ...on semi-solid foods this week

[mabarbee 2]

Just wondering if anyone else has had to wait until week 3 to eat pureed/semi-solid foods? I have to go to nutrition group Monday before being allowed to go on soft foods diet. Do you have any times where you feel a little hunger?
