    Softer foods like cooked veggies and softer fruits like berries do fine, but you will find that raw foods are harder to eat, and you might have to blend them up if you intend to eat them raw. You can...

    Re: How do you know your goal weight?

    YOU have to find your own goal weight. Nobody can tell you how much to weigh. It depends on your height, muscle mass, and how good you feel at a particular weight. As well as how you look. I think...

    I personally would not choose a surgeon who has only done 9 gastric sleeves. My surgeon had done at least 700. The sleeve can have negative outcomes directly related to the knowledge and skill of...

    Well, Yes,It could. And I would not be completely honest. What difference does it make? You can't eat enough of anything after gastric sleeve to NOT lose weight. Your stomach will be way too small....

    Re: Almost 3 weeks out...

    Don't do it! You must be 4 weeks out before you can have solids, and only after Doctor permission. I could not even tolerate Tuna on mushies. Meat is one of those things that's hard to eat. I think...
