Something about these posts just really makes me feel good about my choice. We're all wondering if we'll be able to eat real food.

Well...thats real food...real GOOD food.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks & you’re welcome! I try to eat good lean Protein with fruits and veggies. I post a lot of my meals on Instagram. You can see them at,”my_tiny_healthy_plate”. There are so many more ideas for meals out there. This don’t have to be boring. EVER!

That looks great! Do you eat everything on the plate?

I am 6 weeks out and I can only handle 2 or 3 bites of food and even with that I usually end up bringing it back up. The only things I've found that stay down is 1 scrambled egg or a few apple slices that I take about a half hour and really tiny bites to get down. I also suck on jelly Beans throughout the day. That's pretty much it. I know I'm not getting the nutrition that I need. I have a doctors appt. next week so I will talk to him about it. Did you have trouble keeping food down in the beginning?

I can eat a half a cup of food just fine. I can drink almost a 16oz bottle of Water in a few gulps. I’ve had a couple of times where I almost puked from eating to fast but been eating & drinking with no problems.

My surgeon said be careful about gulping and guzzling Water as it can stretch the stomach. He said hot dog eating contest contestants use guzzling/gulping water to purposely stretch their stomachs so they can fit more in. He also said that people unconsciously try to make their stomachs like before surgery because they think that's the normal/healthy stomach. We need to be aware what we might be doing that can sabotage our weight loss.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
