If you're going to eat plain unflavored Greek yogurt, which is the way to go when you're in the losing phase, you have to doctor it up. You can put sf strawberry preserves in it. There are way less carbs in the plain, than getting my favorite, the decllcious Chiboni Raspberry yougurt. You can add sf cheesecake pudding mix to it to the plain too. It's yummy that way. . Youi can add any syrup (I love coconut) Torrani or DaVinchi syrups to the pudding mixed with the plain yogurt.

When I was first starting out moving from the liquid diet to mushies and solids, I could just eyeball my portion of food that I knew I could eat comfortably. I cut up my meat or whatever I was eating, put it in a pile, and imagined if it could fit into a 1/2 cup. If I didn't do that, I couldn't guess how much I had eaten and I would eat more than I should have, and I was sorry and in pain.

This whole entire thread makes no sense at all. People use the quote feature so that they can refer back to what they are posting about.

I haven't eaten celery since it got stuck and made me really sick. I agree it's not well digested. I have eaten it chopped up very tiny/finely in chicken or tuna salads without problems. There is a thread about bezoars which is very interesting to read if you do a search.

I was told our bodies can't absorb more than 25 grams of protein at one time. Does he have a nutritionist or anyone to help him with any of this? It would seem after 4 months, he should be eating a wider variety and more food than what you describe.

Protein shots are made from collagen which I was told to stay away from. I was told it had to be whey with no collagen because collagen is bad protein.

I really like sandwich thins. These are for when you're farther out from surgery. Now they make mini sandwich thins. Not many carbs or calories and you can make an itty bitty sandwich. which is the perfect size for a sleeve tummy.

I have BC and it does not cover WLS at all. You're so lucky!

Thank you! I am not hungry and I love getting on the scale and seeing it move down every day. I am sure I won't be losing every day after awhile, but right now I feel like this is a miracle!!

I was just recently sleeved in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves. Everyone told me how great he was and they were not wrong. I didn't have any pain or vomiting. I felt pretty good after surgery and walked all around to move the gas. I went by myself and glad it was so easy . His driver picked me up and I did all my tests and went to a very nice hotel. Then after my hospital stay, he picked me up and took me back to San Diego. The whole experience was as simple as it could be. I am drinking clear fluids for 10 days before I can move on to thicker shakes and blended Soups. I've already lost 15 lbs and I am so excited!!
