I was sleeved 4/22. No problem eating the chicken and shredded lettuce. I have done fine for weeks with shredded wilted lettuce on tacos and sandwiches. I eat the inside not the shell or bread. I was not tempted to eat the taco salad shell. I did have one bite and that was enough. I ate all the chicken that was in the salad and about 1/4 of the lettuce that was in it.

I was a total regular pop addict. I have not had any since surgery I really just stick to only water because right now everything else tastes so off that nothing tastes good.

NSAIDS after Gastric Sleeve Surgery ?
devonmae replied to Taralea71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Even though there are signs all over my surgeons office for no nsaids my surgeon said that is more for the roux en y that I can take them. I have taken them sparingly and I do notice that I used to need 800 mg of motrin for a headache and now I only take 200-400 mg. -

I am drinking my water I had to get iv fluids at 4 weeks for dehydration and it got better for a couple days but now I'm right back there.

devonmae replied to AutismMom's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
I had my phone the tv and a puzzle book. My dad visited me each night and while he was there were would take a walk every hour. My husband also visited me with the kids.
