    I just had a re-sleeve, hernia repair, and gallbladder removal last month. You and I had our initial sleeves done pretty close to each other. The hernia gave me acid reflux but it was controlled...

    A possible suggestion to your host is to having a tasting portion on your plate with the rest of the plate being decorated with flowers and garnishes. That way host still gets to show some skillz...

    Re: Revision on sleeve

    Try looking at getting a re-sleeve. Not all surgeons will do it, though. If you have more questions for me, just ask and I’ll try to answer as best as I can

    Re: Pureed recipe

    I would do poached eggs first. Scrambled can be hit and miss at this stage.

    Tinman, I was thinking of him the other day! He was a crazy mofo. Lol Good to know he's doing well.

    As for purée, that's where I am right now, but I'm kind of like tinman. I will eat soft foods...

    Re: Eggs...not so good

    Scrambled can be touch and go. Cook them too firm, and they can totally be hard to digest.

    Re: Eggs...not so good

    It could be how they were cooked, too. You and I have the same surgery date. I haven’t tried eggs yet, but when I do, I’ll probably poach them

    Re: Hair loss

    Hair loss is common after major trauma. There really isn’t anything you can do at this point to stop it. It has to run its course. However, what you can do is start taking Biotin 10,000 mcg to...

    Re: Thanksgiving

    Re: EmilyD's Journey thru my sleeve

    Welcome.

    Try to look at it in a different way. There was no reversal option with your knees, instead you got them replaced. With the sleeve, it's like your stomach will be entering a time...

    Re: What does "full" feel like to you?

    The first time around, when I ate, it was a like a “tap” feeling at my sternum. This time, I don't have that but I just lose interest.
