Rather than posting the clothes on Ebay I thought I would try this first. I have clothes size 22 that are career/casual wear. I will be happy to send pictures of each item and if interested you can make me an offer for all or just a few. I need to earn money for new clothes. You can email me at Jkrause1@ptd.net

I am just over three months out and eating is still a chore...I never really thought I would have to force myself to eat, but that is what I have to do. I really have not desire to eat anything and when I do, nothing tastes good. Does anyone else have this problem...does it pass with in time?

I am about 6 weeks and still find it extremely difficult to eat food. It's not that it doesn't go down ok, but I have no desire to eat and nothing really tastes good. Never in my life did I think food wouldn't taste good...lol. Just curious if this is a phase or does your taste buds really change and you don't enjoy things that use to. I am really struggling to get in my protein...I can only get about 40 grams in right now.

I just bought that yesterday at Wal-Mart - just curious why creation would be damaging?

What is a good protein powder shake from gnc? something that tastes good.

I have to ask, what is a slime incident? I had my surgery on 3/28 am also just trying to eat. I have a few more days until I am allowed to try Wheat Thin crackers. I am really hoping they sit well with me so that I can put cheese or hummus on them for protein. I am still struggling with the required amount of protein.

Way to go, congratulations!!!!!!!!!!

Jrey002 - How much protein are you getting? I am jealous you can drink so much water..I am really struggling to get about 48 0z down and am at about 45 grams of protein...the majority being from a Protein Shake. I am dying to try string cheese, but not sure I am allowed at this point. How far along are you?

I am also about 3 1/2 weeks out and have lost 18 lbs...sounds like you are doing fine. Just curious what are you eating in a day? I am having a hard time getting in my protein and water and really don't like the taste of many foods.

This is probably a dumb question, but I am paranoid about doing something wrong that will cause a leak. How long does it normally take your stomach to heal so that you do not have to worry about leaks any longer?

I was sleeved on 3/28 and have lost 15 lbs for the first 2 weeks and then 3 lbs this past week for a total of 18lbs. Everyone says its good to loose slow so I am just trying to be patient. I have also been having a problem getting my Protein in, but everyday I try my best. I am dying to try junk food, but am too paranoid to hurt my sleeve that can potentially lead to complications. You are doing great, you will not fail. Email me any time you like and we can always compare notes. I have also gone through a bout of depression wondering whether I made the biggest mistake of my life...but I keep telling myself that I did this to become healthy and we will both get there.

Just curious to see if anyone has tried this frozen Greek Yogurt and whether or is ok for sleevers?

I have been wondering this too, thanks for all the posts.

I am just three weeks out and I am also having the same problem...I am lucky if I can get 45 grams...and I am really trying. I believe they want us to have around 60 -70 grams at this point.

I am in the same boat as you. Had my surgery on March 28th and have been stalled since the 2 week mark. From what I have read it is very normal and we just have to keep with the program.

I lost 15 lbs in my first two weeks, but have not lost anything in the last 5 days. Is this normal?

I am three weeks out and have noticed that I have a tremendous amount of gas in my stomach, especially after I eat. Is this normal? Can I take gas x or anything for it? Any sugguestions?

Does anyone have suggestions for mushy/soft food ideas for the grill?

I am very tempted to eat a spoonful of Mashed Potatoes today, but want to know if this will hurt my sleeve. I am following up with the doctor in 2 days ( 11 days Post Op) and until then I was told to just be on Full Liquids. I am very hungry and the protein shakes don't sit well with me at all. I am really struggling to get at least 40 grams protein and water in. Would it hurt to just have one bite????

Do the Jellos taste good? Is there one flavor better than another?

I understand completely....I am on day 10 and will be cooking the dinner tomorrow for Easter and watching the kids eat their candy....All I want at this point is a fork full of mashed potatoes or something...I can't wait to eat any food besides liquids. I am done 13 lbs so far.

Does anyone know how many calories I should be consuming 2nd week post op or should I just worry about Protein count?
