I squish my pills between 2 spoons. Next I take a tiny bit of my protein shake and pour it into the spoons with the crushed pills. I swallow it back and chase it with a swig of the shake. I tried adding it to stuff before too, I think it just gives you more bitter stuff to get down.

Tonight is my first meal. I made 1/2 egg with a 1/8 slice of cheese. It took me a half of an hour to take 2 tiny bites (with a baby fork), chew it to mush and swallow. Now I feel queasy. Is that what full feels like? My paperwork says a portion should be around 1/4 of a cup. I managed less than a tablespoon. Anyone else experience this?

None of what you listed is approved on my stage 3 list. That's why I ate 2 tablespoons of a baked potato. It its not for the sake of eating something. My NUT recommended it because Its mild and I needed something more than liquid so I could have a normal bm. How dare you cast judgement. Think before you type.

Hang in there. We are in the same timeline. They egg didn't work for me either but I did just finish a few bites of a baked potato and that went well.

Congtats! Welcome to the sleeved side! I knew you'd do great! I hope that nausea subsides for you.

I just moved into Stage 3 as well. I can't tolerate an egg yet I had a slice of avocado for supper. Mushes up real good.

Mushy Stage....Tonights supper...A slice of avocado with balsamic glaze. It was heaven.

Thanks, going to go for my protein shake instead tonight. Any suggestions for tomorrow? Cottage cheese is on my list.

Today is 2 weeks. I met with my Nut and she gave me the all clear. We discussed the egg and cheese and she said that was good. This is the 1st time I've ever had nausea.

Stunning! Its hard work, great job!

Well that's it folks. 2 weeks. I feel great, 19lbs down. I'm onto stage 3 as of today and will post a weekly check in. So excited to eat an egg tonight! Best of luck to everyone. Feel free to ask any questions, I will do my best to answer them.

My surgeon (who has a horrible bedside manner but amazing skills) said I had to wait 3 months and that I should not have sex with my husband for those 3 months plus a month additional while I wait for the birth control to kick in. That sounds insane to me.

Here is another question sjnce we are in the subject. Anyone have a libido boost. It seems all I want is sex lol Maybe its my cross addiction?

I feel your pain! Im going with the stomach bug route I think.

Day 13: I had another great day. No pain, no trouble with my fluids. I feel normal again! I catch myself forgetting I had it done. Tomorrow I should get the approval to move to phase 3. I am so excited to eat eggs and cottage cheese!!!! I decided to follow a Paleo way if eating for health reasons along with weight loss since I am able to get in enough protein without shakes. My husband also wants to try it. So good things all around. No regrets.

I see him on Thursday so I will have to ask him. We have already been intimate. Day 10 as well I believe haha must be a the turning point.

Will post more about day 13 later buuutttt I'm down 2 more....that's -19! (Sw 230, Cw 211)

Sending prayers for all the 16th sleevers tomorrow! Sleep well you will all do great!

We have the same date and the same loss!

I'm glad people are finding it helpful. Its also therapeutic. I recommend it. I'm also journaling it for myself.

Day 12: First day pain free! No incision pain or anything! I can bend, and even applied a little pressure that normally painful site and it didn't hurt at all! I feel great. No trouble with fluids. I feel normal again lol. Still no movement in the scale since day 7. Side note Glue on top incision is gone today. Healed nicely.

No worries, happened to me yesterday.

I think 3 weeks is just right! I tried to treat my time off like a vacation. I had my nails done, bought mini spa shampoo, and a new pair of PJ's. My husband thought I was nuts but hey, I say make the most out of it. The procedure itself was the easy part. I'd ask your doc form something for your anxiety the night before if you get real anxious. No reason for you to suffer. Sending my prayers your way! xx

Oh so you can eat mushies? You lucky ducky! Are you journaling everything?

Ladies in red, love it! You gals look amazing!
