What do you eat and how much usually?

More importantly when was your surgery?

I had mine December 29th and spent the next month being happy with eating half a chicken strip or half a small...

I don't know if this already posted, so I'm posting again just in case.

I found out pretty quickly that when i ate too much my stomach would tell me its full with a slight tummy ache. I hear that...

All, I've lost enough now that I can ride an upright mountain bike around the neighborhood for exercise instead of a recumbent at the gym. Weird thing....real bikes use totally different muscles...

Man that's awesome....The NSV's (non scale victories) are the ones I enjoy the most. I had my kindergartner's open house last night. I walked all over the school and had zero knee pain. I was about...

So I've lost 45 lbs in 2 months. THe first month I dropped 25 very quickly. I'm assuming that the remained of the wight loss will not be as quick. I feel like if I could lose 5-8 lbs per month then...

My sleeve surgery was Dec.29 and I'm 44 lbs down, so all is well in that area. But pretty much everything I eat makes my stomach ache a little. Other than liquids, anything that I eat will hurt for...

Wow....very cool. Life is good amigo. Keep it up!

Oh I know all comments come from a place of love....that's why I post here! I welcome all comments. :-)

I agree. Protein first, then cooked veggies.

I did with the specific and one time purpose of testing the size of my stomach. i don't think any good diet plan will include mac n cheese! :-)

I do...

So, I was dying to know what it took to make me feel my new Full. My wife made some mac n cheese for our kids, and I jumped at the chance to perform a little test. I have (what I believe to be) a...

Ooooh yes. Going from clear liquids to some strawberry flavored oatmeal was so good, it almost made me feel a bit frisky. :rolleyes:

So, i just started the 15 day phase two thing with soft foods. It is a tad different than fluids. Fluids, it appears, I can drink pretty quickly. I had a 6oz yoplait light and i found myself needing...

Cool thanks! Please forgive my ignorance on this because I'm new to this forum. But when we add those photos, does it also add them to a sticky thread on that page? It seems like it would be easier...

how're you doing now a month and a half later?

I thought with the title of this sub-forum, there would already be one. Can we start one? I find it inspirational for us soon-to-be or newly sleeved amigos. :-)

I'm not sure exactly how long it takes, but not long. I have been taking it easy so that I could figure out what my new "full" feels like. I just went to McDonalds to get a large unsweet tea (which...

--That is unbelievable!


--Do not let this occupy space in your brain. And then be thankful you've been shown who you can't trust or doesn't deserve your friendship.

Day 1 back from hospital. I felt only some discomfort from the gassy bloated feeling that everyone has. My throat is a tad sore from where they intubated me, and I have some diarrhea. But I feel...

I am 3 days post op and asked the same questions to my dr. He said you can walk all you want right now. maybe not a mountain trail or anything, but start walking around the block now. He said wait...

Man that sucks. There are some seriously disconnected and uncaring people out there. Unfortunately, they are sometimes in our own families. One thing I learned long ago from a mentor was this...

The nurse said that my dr always sends people home with a drain tube. It gets taken out on my next visit in three days. Not sure why he always does this, but its not a big deal.

I do have an anti nausea patch behind my ear...

THis is pretty minor, but I noticed that my close up vision is worse now than it was two days ago pre-surgery. Noticeably so. Anyone else experienced this?

I just woke up and less gas pain. But honestly, the worst pain I feel is where they intubated me. My throat is killing me from the scraping of the intubation tube or something down my throat. I...

All, I just got home from having my sleeve done. everything went great! The only pain I have is that dang gas. Its pretty uncomfortable, but I wouldn't call it painful. I am however extremely...
