I started to vomit again, and I'm 8 weeks out. I've been eating small portions and all Protein. It was so bad I had to take off from work today. After my surgery , I was vomiting until 5 weeks out. Then no problems. Just very frustrating ...

Today I made fantastic chicken on the grill but not sure of calorie count. I mixed 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I brushed it on the chicken and let it cook. It was so moist and tasty. I was so upset I couldn't eat more than 3 bites bc it was that good.

Yes, it's happening to me. Never had acne in my life ... Even as a teenager. Very frustrating

I hit ONE-derland today !!! I'm exciting and love rockin the sleeve

I'm 6 weeks out and just started getting hives. This is the second day in a row. This never happened before. Anyone else experience this?

I went to the dr. Yesterday for my 6 week check up. I lost 30 lbs since the day of surgery. Major stall last week Anyway, I was talking to the receptionist. She told me I looked great. My skin was clear hair looked nice etc. Joking around I said " oh I thought I would have lost more ." And she said " because you are so small, it will take you two years to lose your weight. " Two years??? Is that what everyone experiences? I'm by no means small. I started at 231.

I had the same problem. I switched shakes. Was using the Premier Shakes. They seemed too heavy. I switched to Lean shake from GNC. Big difference. Good luck !

I'm going through the same lost 35 in 6 weeks. It's frustrating but your body is adjusting.

Back to ice pops and jello. Can't keep anything down and hard time at work. 5 weeks Tuesday.

I'm a teacher, and returned to work Tuesday which was a half day and yesterday was a half day. Today was the first day full day. I felt that I had a difficult time today. I did pack my food for the day but when I sat down to eat , I couldn't eat much and felt sick. As I was circulating , I thought I would pass out. So I would sit. I even went to my go to drink- Gatorade, and that made me feel worse. I could hardly drink or eat today and exhausted. I'm only a month out from surgery. Hope it gets better from here...

Do sleevers have to worry about Slider foods ? Having survey on August 7th and very new to this.

Since the surgery, I noticed what my biggest problem was/ is with food... I eat too fast. I noticed I tend to do it more around my kids. I have my sister as support and today she was keeping an eye on me and was saying, "slow down , chew". Even though I didn't eat a big amount , the fast eating is what is causing me discomfort. I'm just happy I'm more aware now.

I think I need to start eating alone for the next few weeks. Just concentrate on slowing down and chewing.

Is coffee ever allowed ??? I haven't read anything about it. My dr. gave me limited information.

Thank you for sharing !!!

Looking for recipe ideas for Puree Stage

Thank you for all the great replies!!!

I'm eleven days post - op and having all of these insane cravings. Especially , for foods I can't have at this stage or maybe ever .like chorizo with sour cream. I'm still in the liquid stage and know this is more a head game. What do I do to stop it?

I get full really quick... But think because I feel sick.
