I'll join, in in a stall as well and have been struggling with eating well. Pre-surgery weight 304 Surgery date 8/15/12 Today's weight 255.7 lbs I would love to be 240 by Thanksgiving so that is 15.7 lbs

So I'm close to my 2 month anniversary which is 10/15 n today I ate a smart ones ravioli florentine n was able to finish it. It is. 8.5 oz n this is the time I have ever finished anything, I feel good but nervous (scared to be able to eat too much). Does anyone know if weight watchers n lean cuisine are good for sleevers? Is it bad that I ate it all??? Helpppppp please Christina

Thanks for your advice ladies (:

Thanks guys, as for sweets, I've cheated here n there, nothing too crazy ! I know if I force myself away from everything, I would go nuts!!!! Looks like no more weight watchers, it will be better once I can eat fruit n veggies (4 more months)!!!!

It has 12 grams of protein n 18 grams of carbs, ive been trying to get as much protein as possible, it's a struggle!!!!!! I found granola bars wit 21 grams n I do grilled chicken, tuna, n a lot of cheese. Any other suggestions? I feel stuck b/c the surgeon won't allow veggies or fruit for six months ):

I'n seven weeks out n tried it a few weeks ago, it went right through me, I'm too scared to try again ):

I get a single hiccup as well. I'm six weeks out n couldn't figure out my signal which in turn made me deathly sick by eating too much or too fast, now I know as soon as I hiccup, I'm finished!!!

Exactly what happens to me ):

So my journey has been up n down, I've gotten sick quite often. Some days food is fine, other days it's like death. I don't eat fried food or real sugar, surgeon now put me in medimucil saying I need fiber, but it tastes horrible. I also picked up smoking (only stopped briefly prior to surgery) n my surgeon is hitting the fan. I have to quit again on top of everything else I have eliminated): is anyone else going through this?? I have lost 36 pounds since 8/15 but it is not worth being miserable!!!

I'm 5 weeks out n my head has not caught up with my stomach, I don't eat bad but I sometimes eat fast or something disagrees. Be careful because when u overdue it, it really becomes a mess

@ andychris, my boyfriend just reminded me that I have digestive advantage probiotic gummies that says it helps with abdominal n digestive issues, is this similar? Thanks Lady K n good luck on Thursday, u will do amazing (:

I get slimies, vomit, n other crap at the same time!!!! Not a happy camper lately

He also said I could be lactose intolerant but sugar free ice cream, Greek yogurt, n cheese work for me. I can't drink milk, it tastes horrible to me n I use to love it, so who knows..... Dez at 5 weeks, what r u eating n how much??

I mostly eat dairy ie; Greek yogurt, cheese, beans, rice cakes, n grilled chicken. In five weeks I have yet to have a normal stool. Not good, it means u are lacking fiber, so today is day one of that. I take all my vitamins and I have the Cotsco shakes Dez, I will try them. Thanks!!!!

Thanks Dez, I wasn't sure if Metamucil had capsules! Protein shakes have made me sick the last two times I had them, I was good in the beginning, now I'm like I a maze. I don't think my head has caught up with my stomach yet! There's a lot of trials and tribulations I'm going through. I can't change it now n I def don't live on regrets soooo it will get better, I'm sure

I failed horribly, I actually gained weight pre op, I made it through surgery with no complication, I'm 3 1/2 weeks out m down 30lbs! Get focused and try your best (:

Thanks Louise so I'll wait a couple more weeks

How long post Op do I wait before I can have coffee again? I really miss it...

Congrats coffeebean, great job!!!

Luvbug are u drinking regular coffee?? Thanks for all your comments it's just something I really miss, hopefully it won't taste the same so I won't crave it anymore!!

What about the caffeine, I'm 17 days out, is caffeine bad?

I had no drain, my surgeon said he doesn't put it in unless it's an emergency, every surgeon is different

I'm in on this, thanks sounds sooo good, I'm two weeks out tomorrow and dying to try food lol

Just had my surgery on the 15th, at first I couldn't even hardly swallow sips of water and now all of a sudden almost a whole protein shake goes down. I also was able to eat a whole yogurt, some soup, and decaf tea is my new best friend. My question is, am I drinking too much? Is it odd that I can eat a whole yogurt?? Just want to make sure I'm not hurting my self, any feedback would be great!!!!!

I had surgery on the 15th, I stayed an extra day in the hospital because I couldn't get the fluids down enough. I discovered hot tea is my savior, this morning I woke up with both of my hands and arms asleep, my left arm is still acting up, surgeon said I probably slept weird to protect my belly, odd... Anyone have more choices for fluids?
