Another one here! I'm from Melbourne. 6 weeks post sleeve and feeling FABULOUS!

Not sure if you have these in the US, but I enjoy having Vita Weat lunch Slices for lunch, especially when at work. http://www2.woolworthsonline.com.au/Content/ProductImages/big/705171.jpg Last week I had one of these with avocado, tuna and tomato. Any other suggestions on what I could top these with?

We get those here too from an importer...but look at the price! http://www.usafoods.com.au/Wheat-Thins?search=p3525+cookies

I've been out twice for dinner since being sleeved and it's been OK. On Saturday night I went to an Indian restaurant and just ordered an entree serve of chicken (would've been 2 thighs) and managed to only eat one thigh with about a tablespoon of lemon rice. I went out again for dinner on Monday night and again ordered just an entree of lemon pepper calamari. I only managed maybe 3 calamari rings, 2 chips and 2 slices of cucumber from the salad. I haven't yet attempted ordering off the kids menu, but from what they offered, it was crappy fried food anyway. I'm going out again in a few weeks to an Italian restaurant which mainly deal with pizza...any suggestions appreciated as to what I can have. I was thinking thin crust vegetarian if they have it.

I was taking one blocker daily up until last Friday (Nexium). I asked my surgeon if I was to continue this one the current script ran out and he said no. I work for my GP and there's a stash of samples, so I might grab a box as some days I do feel a bit refluxy. Re the 5-7 meals, I was under the impression that I was only allowed 3 meals a day. Best I do a bit more research I think

Thanks. My meals vary and may include: B: Porridge or 1/2 a muffin with avocado and scrambled eggs/poached egg or 1 slice of toast with Peanut Butter. MT: Small non fat latte L: A cracker of some sort with avocado/cream cheese, tuna, tomato. D: Either grilled chicken or fish, sweet potato, vegies.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated. I thought I had previously posted in this forum. Obviously not. I did sign up in March though, that's probably as far as I've gotten. I still have a loooooooooooong way to go. I'm 6 weeks post op today and still learning how to cope with the new stomach. Doing well otherwise.
