When I purged my home I did not eat anything, I donated to neighbors and charity.

Sometimes we feel like "if only I get to that goal wt". Will you finally be happy once you get to goal.

I think it depends on the person. I - for one - know that I can NEVER have Doritos again! I have zero control over myself around Doritos. I CAN have a piece of pizza eventually (though I love the Cali’flour crusts so I’ll stick with those). I’m not addicted to pizza. Every person is different. And having something occasionally is probably ok as part of a healthy diet. It depends whether you can keep it “occasional” - which I would not be able to to with Doritos!

that's awesome and I tihnk the right attitude, you go girl and you are doing soooooooooooooo great happy new year

I need to do this in the he next couple of weeks

I was approved for soft, mushy food too! My NP told me that I can eat up until 1/2 cup (or 4oz) of "food." She told me to give myself 30 minutes to eat and if I couldn't eat it all within that time limit or felt fullness prior to the 30 minute mark, just stop.

I also like the variety of the Syntrax NEctar shakes. Love the lemonade. They sell a variety pack. I haven't seen them in stores, but I have bought it online. I also like unjury chocolate and premier chocolate. re: budget, just remember even if the powders seem expensive, you'll only be spending a couple dollars a meal, so it is still cheaper than most foods you'd eat before surgery. Good luck.

You are fine, you won't feel restriction with liquids but once you start on solid foods you will feel restriction. In the weeks to come you will notice that you will be able to drink a lot more water/liquids quicker than the sips.

Hi! I had my surgery August 17th. I lost 45lb since surgery. I am 25 years old. Just know that my numbers might look good, but I am mentally unhappy. I miss food. We all have our struggles. Perhaps I am depriving myself too much. Take it slow. You’ll be fine. Just listen to the sleeve

So you are almost 10-weeks post op and 22 pounds...that’s great! 2.2 pounds a week You’ll get there before you know it. I’m a man and it’s a fact men lose faster then woman (so says my loving bride of 37yrs, Barbara). I feel like I’m doing great losing 3lbs a week. Don’t feel bad, kick it up a notch and see what happens. I got stuck for almost 2 weeks, so added 5 more minutes of exercise and cut back calories from 750 to 650 and broke through the wall.
