Joann454:
I am 9 weeks out from the sleeve and I too can eat anything!!! I also can take relatively large sips of liquid. I wondered id I wad alone. I guess everyone is different. I almost wish I was the oppisite though.

Right? I kind of do too. It scares me. But I'm really good about never over eating and staying on plan. I'm so glad I'm not alone. :)

My surgeon actually recommended chicken wings to me. Breast is actually tough meat where wings are softer and fattier. These are easier for the stomach. I think you will find some things will turn your stomach eventually




My NUT did too but probably not with the spicy garlic parm sauce lol. It was yummy tho.

Well I won't weigh in on the chicken wings because I didn't like them before and I don't like them now (I also don't like macaroni and cheese, my kids think I'm from an alien planet).

But yeah if you have the sleeve there's no reason you won't be able to tolerate anything. I have a few things, but most stuff is just fine! Early out its different but by about six months most of us can tolerate anything.




I don't think we can be friends. I don't trust anyone who doesn't like Mac & Cheese!
But seriously, this makes me feel better. Although I'm only five weeks out. I'm ok now. Just had me a little nervous.

So I got the green light to incorporate new foods into my diet. I ate three chicken wings and they were so good. Tossed in spicy garlic and parm. Delish.
My concern is I seem to tolerate anything I eat. I can't eat a lot but have this cast Iron stomach.
Is this unusual? How it's supposed to be? I also don't have to chew chew chew. I can take nearly normal bites with no issues and I can gulp Water easily. It seems weird to me when I'm reading on here and everyone appears to have tender stomachs.


Take it as a blessing

Just because you can tolerate it doesn't make it a good idea. Chewing food is to help with satiety. And gulping Water will flush your pouch and could make you feel hungry. My stomach is not tender at all so I try and follow the eating 'rules' so I won't be hungry all the time.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
