I'm 9 weeks post op (yea). 

I've never realized before my surgery how much life centered around food. From TV commercials to get togethers. My dad and I always did lunch or supper together. That stopped for a while, but had started again since

Today is a good day. I had my upper GI done and it came out clean. No sign of anymore pollups, cancerous or non cancerous. 

On the other side of this, when I was getting ready for a shower, I took a good long look at myself nude. I now have a p

I found these great fruit smoothie recipes using vanilla protein powder. I'm thinking these would be perfect in the mornings since I have a hard time eating in the mornings.

My friend told me to get Isolate Whey Protein Powder. I'm just not sur

I had my first post op yesterday. It went very well. I've officially lost 32 lbs. This is encouraging to me. :)

My doctor said he doesn't use 'ounces', but prefers cups instead. And there is where my questions come in. He said I'm to eat no mor

I keep reading about protein powders and how they are tasteless and can be used in anything. Where can I find these powders? Also, where can I find recipes to make my own protein shakes? Thanks

I have some questions about meals.

How many ounces is normal to eat 4 weeks post op? How do you get your protein, starch and veggies in one meal? Do you cook your own foods? What kind of seasonings do you use? How do you take a few ounces and m

Back on track - NOW - This past week has been really bad for me and I have not done well with food. But as of now, I am back on track. My supper was at 6pm. I ate 2 ounces of meat and cheese. Then over ...

I feel like I am screwing up all the time after my surgery. I've been eating to the point of pain more often than I should. I'm afraid that I messed up my sleeve and stretched it out. I am a month post op and can eat up to 6 ounces depending on the foo

My first test - Fail - Well, my crazy week didn't go very well food wise. As much as I did try, I ended up going back to my old habits of not eating and when I did, I ate too much and the foods were junk...

Talk about crazy tastes! - Before my surgery, during the seven hoops, I was told by my nut, doctor, and the psych that my tastes would change. I didn't believe them. But, darn if it isn't true! A big one is ...

Does anyone else find it hard to take a compliment? How do you handle it?

I've had people comment about my weight loss and that I'm looking good/doing good. I never know what to say and feel like they are just being nice. I also feel embarrasse

It's been almost a month since my surgery. The 13th will be my month mark. It was a rocky start, but I learned a lot from you all, my medical team and trial and error.

Now, something new is about to happen. Next week, I will be away from home f

Going well - Things are going well. I'm on stage 3, chopped foods. I'm doing between 2 and 4 ounces per meal and no snacks for the most part. I have a bed time snack. Usually, when snack times ...

This may sound strange, but I'm worried that I may have lifted too much while doing things around the house yesterday. I'm 2 week post op. This morning I woke up sore and with a stomach ache.  Not a bad one though. 

It's just that I've been fee

My surgery was on 4/13/2015. Things went well, but a couple of days later, a small complication came up and I went back into the hospital. When I left the hospital, I was moved to stage 2 foods. This is where I'm confused. In stage 1, everything was 1

Hi,

I just had the sleeve done a little over a week ago. It's all so new and strange. I'm working on water drinking and trying to figure out when I'm hungry.

Do you eat at scheduled times or when hungry? 

Thanks

When all is said and done... - It's all over now. The surgery is done and it's been over a week. It was a rough start with some complications and I ended up in the hospital for a few days. As of today, I'm doin...
