When can you "try" steak?
valhughes replied to Disco's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Right after my 4 week postop check she said I could eat whatever I felt comfortable with so I went straight to chilies and ordered a petite steak I only had like 3 bites but I would be cautious -

So I started my journey in January. I was sleeved on May 14th. I lost 50 pounds before surgery and 29 since surgery. More to go but I feel so much better. This pic was taken in 2009 and I don't know what I made but it was probably my heaviest ever.

Chewable vitamins make me sick

Thank you! Yes the one I take has iron in it also. I will ask if I can switch. -
I was sleeved May 14th and I've done really well but like others struggling with protein. But also every time I take a bariatric advantage chewable vitamin I get sick! I even take phenergren with it and I still throw it up. Does anyone else have this problem?? I go back for my 1st postop appt tomorrow. I will ask but didn't know if anyone else was given a substitute to try instead of the vitamins?

I started in January at 299 pounds I completed my 3 month Preop in April and when I was sleeved May 14th I weighed 250 pounds. I was size 24 in the beginning and I'm fitting in size 18/20 so I don't think it's unreasonable to have that as a goal. Best wishes and good luck!

I think anything sounds yummy! I've been hearing a lot about quiche. I will try to find a good recipe! Thank you!

Thank you for all the suggestions can't wait to get off liquids!
-
Thank you I will definitely use these! They sound yummy!

I was sleeved 5-14, I have one week left of liquids then I start puréed foods. The week I start is the same week we are going on vacation. Do I was wandering if anyone minded sharing recipes so I can prepare what to take? My email is valmhughes@icloud.com. Thanks everyone for all the support along my journey
