Hi! Im looking for a partner. I had my surgery done on the 24th

I think it would be great to share our lows and our highs. Share our journey together. So, if you're a female, (nothing againist you men) its just women I can talk with

Please send me a message. Thank you!

Misty

I've moved up to the puréed stage today 10 days out ... currently looking for all types of recipes ... had an egg salad today which consists of one hard boiled egg and lite mayo (seasoned to my liking) and I thought I loved egg salad... well after surgery eggs are horrible i couldn't even get 3 bites in before I was full

I had my sleeve surgery Jan 17. I'm eating puréed food now, but i can eat way more that it seems other people on the forums are eating. Kinda concerns me. I have 1/2 cup (4 oz) containers and i can easily eat that much without feeling much restriction. Seems like everyone else eats 2 bites and is full. What's up with that?

I think everyone is different. I was never on just puree'd food. About 3 days after I got home it was roasted chicken, or pot roast, in broth.

I started around 3oz and now I'm up to four. No REAL solid food, but soft seems to work for now. Down 20 lbs since surgery on 1-23-17.

I had mine 1/11 I am on soft food now. chicken with gravy fish etc. same thing happens to Me. I tried to ear chicken with sweet potato but didn't follow the rules and my stomach killed. Protein first then move to veggie or starch. It's a new lifestyle and I have to get used to it. I admit I still get head hungry and I get sad when I can't eat pizza with the rest of my family. But I remember that that food my body doesn't need. I'm losing weight I'm getting as much liquids and protein in that I can but I know that my body is still healing and that I am told over time it will get a lot easier. Be patient

When I'm able, I found this recipe for pizza with cauliflower crust. It actually didn't look too bad. I figured it couldn't hurt to try!

@@Misty Barnhart I've been having that same problem with feeling like I have to burp but nothing comes out. Then I have a pain in my chest that makes me afraid to take another drink. I guess I'm taking in too much air as I'm swallowing so I have been trying to alter how I drink/swallow but still having difficulties.

I have my 2 week post op follow up appointment on Monday, what should I expect?

I've used it for awhile and never paid for the premium. You can still track all the food you eat and exercise so I didn't see the point.

I think the bubbles are kinda funny. I am now a week post op and I feel really good. I was hoping for the weird taste/smell issue, but so far I am doing well. Makes me wonder if I will lose much weight.

I have started tracking on My Fitness Pal, just to get into the habit of doing it. Has anybody paid for premium MFP? I'm not sure it's worth an extra $12 monthly. My biggest issue now is my head hunger. I am looking to get into some kind of therapy that wont break the bank, because I can tell now, I have a real problem that needs to be sorted out during this honey moon phase.

I never used the premium. I did however find specialized therapy very helpful. I spent 8 mos in an Intensive Outpatient Program for eating disorders that included supported eating and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. These two were extremely helpful, and I intend to return for a few months to learn to deal with head hunger post surgery.

I made a cauliflower crust pizza about 3 months ago and it was quite tasty. It held together well enough to bring to work the next day for lunch too.

I had my surgery on the 24th of January !

Hi Misty,

I had my sleeve done on 1/24/17 and so far so good. I've lost 10 lbs already! I don't have any regrets, yet I find myself crying more than usual.

There is a great private Facebook page for people sleeved in January 2017. There are currently 110 members and it is a super supportive group of people who can and do ask anything. If you would like to join, send me the email you use on Facebook and I can add you.

How do I add friends on this site? I'm interested, but can't figure out how. Also, how do I add that little running figure to my signature line?
