Hello all,

I wanted to make a separate thread for all of the September sleevers to post updates and share tips. Of course any and everybody is welcome!

I am 13 days post op and feeling great. Still on liquids, so my diet is mostly Water and Protein shakes. I'm not feeling hungry at all, and "head hunger" only lasted a few days. Tonight was the first night I have seen my close friends since surgery and everyone was betting on how much I've lost. It made me feel good and gave me a spring in my step. I haven't weighed myself and I'm waiting to see how much I've lost since surgery for my first post op visit on Monday. I can't wait to see who was closest.

The only downside is I've developed a cold. It's irritating but I'm managing. All of the coughing has me a little concerned that I will pop a staple or something. I spoke to my surgeons PA and she was not concerned about that occurring. I'm on the upswing and expect the cold to be out of my system in a day or so.

How is everyone else doing? I hope everyone is healing and resting.

It really sucks that some of your guys can eat potatoes...i truly envy you...being on a very low carb diet, i can't have any pasta, rice, potatoes (white or sweet), or anything like that...????????????????

I eat mashed potatoescurrently in tiny amounts, but I won't much longer. I'll go to no rice/pasta/bread/potatoes as well. You aren't alone haha.

How was the salad? I love salad but was cautioned on raw veggies until 2 months post.

I only ate the chicken, and part of a tomato. Wife ate the rest. But saved me some chicken to bring to work for lunch. I'm still amazed in how a small portion fills me up. Tonight we had shrimp Alfredo, ate some shrimp. Didn't eat the spaghetti.. this Thursday will be 4 weeks post op. I'm cleared by my doctor for three small meals a day with plenty of liquids in between.. of course 30 mins before and 30 mins after each meal.

I was cleared too- im around 36 days- my problem is food is just not speaking to me- but I keep trying. Doctor said it's sense of smell but that it will gradually get better each day. He told me an average of 4-6 months and I'll get most of it back- hope so:-) good luck!

Reading us September sleevers, it's really cool how we have all evolved . Most of us are cleared for all foods, Kind of cool thinking back on our pre-op diet... Etc.

I get tickled easily so forgive me. ^^

I'm cleared as well but terrified of making the wrong choice now!

I was cleared too. I find the challenge to be knowing when I feel full. I do feel it but I might be eating to fast because it hits me all at once instead of warning me. Then I feel like a knot right above my stomach. Does anyone else feel this?

9/27 surgery. Still trying to learn my stomach. Not sure when I am full. Turned a corner yesterday. First day I felt good.
