    Re: Deviled Eggs during pureed food stage

    My list of pureed foods included scrambled eggs but not hard boiled eggs. Hard boiled eggs were given as a specific example of soft foods.

    Re: Just out of hospital. Post-op diet.

    Try sugar free popsicles. They count as a clear liquid, and the smaller ones are about 3 fluid ounces.

    Re: 17 Days Post Surgery - UGH

    The first couple of weeks I felt very blah all the time. I had a HELL of a time getting my fluids in (I ended up back at the hospital overnight for dehydration). I felt like my stomach was ALWAYS...
  6. Re: Lots of questions - Sleeve surgery on December 2, 2013

    Another way of looking at it... did you ever go out to eat with one of those super skinny friends who would order off the appetizer menu and not be able to finish. And you would look at her and...
  7. Re: Lots of questions - Sleeve surgery on December 2, 2013

    The sleeve will change your relationship with food. No doubt about it. That said, I remember how scary it was when my dietician showed me the amount of food that I would be expected to eat after...

    Re: 50 days!?! How did that happen??

    I had the same problems with food funerals. The key for me was, I did go out to eat a little bit more than I usually do. And when I was there, my husband and I would discuss how we could eat here...
  11. Re: Liquids start tomorrow and I am FREAKING OUT!!!

    My surgeon required a 5 day clear liquid diet. I lost like 8 pounds in those 5 days and he said my liver looked perfect. Don't worry about failing, you will get there and be on the sleeved side soon.
  12. Re: Does the sleeve really reduce your hunger sensations? also does it make you sick to eat sugar like the bypass does?

    I am about a month out and haven't felt hunger once in the entire time. So yes, I would say it reduces hunger.

    I have managed loofa ice cream and small amounts of high sugar apple cider with no...
  13. Re: Need to lose 11 pounds BEFORE surgery, but stalled... HELP!?!?

    I was sleeved just a few days ago and I would say that the worst part was waking up from the general anesthesia. The pain will be bad and the pain meds I was given that first day just didn't cut it....

    I was told to stop any kind of hormonal birth control pill at least 2 WEEKS before the surgery and not to begin taking them for at least 1 month after. Their reasoning is that hormonal birth control...

    Re: What can I tell those at my job?

    Just say you are having surgery on your stomach to fix some health issues. It's not a lie and the way you won't have to explain your strange eating habits when you head back to work.
