Congrats to all of your amazing losses you are all bariatric veterans. When i say full/satisfied I meant the same thing. Not on a PPI.

looking great! I'm a sleeve. Being able to tolerate and eat anything is a double-edged sword for me. It’s great that I don’t have dumping syndrome but, my surgery restriction is less years out. I can gain in a heartbeat and its slow to come off. We all work this differently. I wish you the best in the months and years to come. Jennifer

I am 10 days into my sleeve and this morning I have noticed my stomach starting to rumble which stopped after I finished my protein shake. Whats weird is how my brain is processing it and the best way to describe it is confused. I am eager to move to full liquid to see what my sleeve will handle with semi solids like yogurt. Is this normal at all? I have not deviated from the clear liquid at all yet. I havent felt that tingling or full sensation since day two when I first began to sip liquids. I can handle 8oz of liquid so far no problem but havent attempted to go beyond that. I have my first follow up on Thursday.

I haven’t met the surgeon yet. Getting ahead of myself I guess. I’ll meet him in 3 weeks which seems like forever since I’ve wanted this done over 20 years ago. My insurance covers it finally!!

Do they have a nutritionist on staff?

Today I had my 7th weeks follow up, all went great, I can now eat everything in portion size, this journey is no joke Someone told me that I took the easy way out but they don't know the struggle in this journey. Peace and blessings to you all Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

💜 Congratulations so far 💜 Who told you that???

I ended up switching my Effexor extended release capsules for the tablets. And I take them 3 times a day. Kinda a pain, but it works. Can't take extended release after surgery. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

@sher0929 hi newbie don't fret your pretty little head!! the weight will start to come down soon i hid the scale from myself for a long time (prob was that i always remembered where I put it!!🤣 take care, good things will start happening "God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It" good luck kathy

I got one just prior to surgery, so a few weeks ago. My first meal with it was salmon, I did the same thing you did: cooked it with the Sous Vide then pan fried it very quickly. It was wonderful. I was a vegetarian for 20 years, so I am not great at cooking meat. This has kept me from overcooking it. I’m in the purée stage right now, and getting ready to bring in some soft foods. So I’m doing some food prep today for it. I’ll be cooking more salmon, some brown chicken meat, and egg Sous Vide (omg, melt in your mouth delicious!). The meats should be soft enough to make some nice spreads with so that I can tolerate it next week. I’m planning on freezing most of the meats to pull from as needed. Food prep is key for me to stay on track. My little Sous Vide gadget has taken it to the next level, which I’m thrilled with.
