When is it safe to have a salad? I am two months post op and am craving salad.

I work at Starbucks part time. My drink of choice on a hot day is an iced tall skinny Mocha (sf mocha syrup, nonfat milk) with sugar free caramel. It is delicious hot or iced ...

I look at how well everyone is doing and I am getting super depressed. I have only lost 50 lbs in three months. I started at 281 and it seems people that were bigger (like myself) lose faster. I am doin everything right, and I just don't understand why I'm not losing more weight. What it I don't ever get down to goal weight. Any suggestions on what you think I should do? I can't have protein shakes (my NUT and surgeon determined they have something in them that Makes me sick). Any thoughts would help!

I guess I do just need to stop comparing myself to others. Thanks guys. Sometimes I just need a kick in the pants.

I was sleeved January 14th and I have been perfect! I hadnt cheated or had the urge to eat anything I wasn't supposed to. Then this weekend arrived I have had potato chips, Cheetos and a cupcake. I have lost 55 pounds And I feel like I am going to gain it all back! Granted it has only been a couple times, but this is what got me here in the first place. Any crispy foods out there that we can eat? I hate pork skins just to out that our there.

There are somedays (like today) that the thought if eating makes me super nauceous. It isn't like this everyday, but the thought of food makes me sick. Even if I am a bit hungry I just can't make myself eat. Anyone else have an issue like this?

That's me too! The mornings after I take my Vitamins the last thing I want to do us eat. I tried taking them at night but ALWAYS forgot!!!!

I am three months out. I talked to my NUT about it and she told me to push through. The weird thing is that there is no discomfort. The thought of food somedays just makes me want to vomit.

Thanks for the kudos and congrats on your approval. I had the lap band and got converted a couple of months later with the sleeve. The band eroded my esophagus and tore my stomach lining :-/. This has not been wonderful either, but the further out I get the better it gets. I landed in the hospital three times after surgery. Just know that this is a ton harder than the lap band, speaking honestly. But at this point I think I am getting close to saying I don't regret it. Definitely keep in touch!!

My name is Megan and I was sleeved 1/14. I am down 55#s from the date of surgery. There have been health issues along the way and for a while I regretted it. Three months out and I am feeling much better. I went through Dr. Cooper at Crouse.

All if your suggestions sound great!

Thanks guys! Sometimes I just need to hear it will all be ok. I feel like my friends and family truly don't see the struggle, and if they do they feel as though I did this to myself.

Are u from Upstate NY? I am a Wegmans fan.

When is too soon to eat a salad? I am two months out and am craving lettuce.

It's so weird to hear the varying opinions of our numerous NUtritionists. My NUT said I could have coffee as long as I use an artificial sweetener and non fat milk as cream.

This sounds so much better than the crust made with cream of tartar.

I made the pizza that someone posted on here. It was made with egg whites, cream of tartar, cream cheese and unflavored whey protein. It came out a little dry....any suggestions?

Made these and the whole family loved them!!! Even me

When I made this it tasted great but it was a mushy consistency.

I made this and the crust wasn't stiff enough to pick up.

I made this tonight and it looks delicious. However it was really dry. Is there anything else I can do to make it more moist? Did I cook it too long?

My doctor said I could have wheat thins at five weeks. I did and they went down fine

I out tuna fish on top of wheat thins, with pieces of American cheese and pop them in the microwave for twenty seconds. They are like mini tuna melts

I believe I am in the midst of a stall. I was sleeved on 1/14, have lost 35lbs but I can't seem to get past that number. I am eating well, absolutely not cheating and nothing is happening. I am so nervous that I won't lose anymore weight. Please give me some advice

I keep going in and out of the hospital because I had a stricture. I am cleared to start working out on Monday . I am signing up at my local gym. I weigh myself all the time . Bad habit I know. I really am trying to not focus on the weight so much, but I feel like I am just not going to lose anymore weight. I only lost fifty pounds when I had the lap band and I feel like it is going to be like that again.
