Shrimp happends to be one of my favorite foods. How is shrimp with the sleeve? Does it give anybody any particular problem or is it a pretty easy food to eat?

Great job!!! :-D

You can already tell a difference! ! Right on girl :-D

Yes I ate thin sliced Turkey and a thin slice of mild Chedder yesterday. Yummmmmmmy

I'm two weeks out too, but I went on a clear liquid diet a week before surgery so this officially makes three weeks.

Yep, I do believe that I'm officially in the dreaded 3 WEEK STALL!!! I've been the same weight since Friday. Thank God for this wonderful site, because if I didn't know about the 3 week stall, I would be totally freaking out. I'm cool, it's all part of the process...but. .. WHEN IS IT GOING TO END?????? :-D

Yeah, I wonder how long it's supposed to last.

I think I'm in a stall. It was going down nicely but its stopped for the past few days. HW-276 SW-268 CW-250 -18 lbs since surgery

I'm transitioning onto purees this weekend. I had a soft boiled egg. Then for fun, I made the ricotta bake. That was a wonderful lunch. I could only eat about 2-3 ounces. I'm still trying to get the 80g of protein in. (Not fond of shakes) but on the other hand, liquids are much easier. I drink a lot of low calorie gatorade. (G2) I'm going to the market tomorrow (Sunday) to get some things like baby food,hummus and things to puree. This is such an exciting adventure that we are all on!! Good luck for anyone who needs to return back to work Monday.

Are you having any symptoms? Sorry to hear about this. I hope they go back to normal soon.

I'll be on the scrambled egg train on the 22nd too. Can't wait! !

I can't wait for purees next week! ! I'm getting tired of full liquids.

Whew, great news. Take care of yourself and get some rest. I'm going back to work Monday too.

That must feel so great to hear that.

Hi Lambshop, I hope you're feeling better. Please let us know how you are, ( if you are able.) Healing thoughts going out to you.

Hope it's not serious. Feel better and please let us know how you're doing.

On the inside. I'm terrified of a leak.

Bring a mini food processor with you. You'll be able to puree some food that you bring back to the hotel. Congratulations and have a beautiful time! !

Wow, you're really lucky. The barium swallow test is just nasty. Thank goodness it was just a few sips.

Hi Lambshop!! July 8 here too!!( there are a whole bunch of us July 8ths) Low calorie gatorade is helping me with hydrating. Every day gets better.

What are you all doing to recuperate? If you are returning back to work, when? I'm at home for two weeks watching a bunch of movies, walking around and trying to get the liquid and protein in. And I'll be back to work on July 22nd.

Hello july 8ers!!! Sounds like everyone is emerging and slowly getting better day by day. This is a whole new beginning for all of us. I'm 12 lbs down since starting my pre-op diet!! Hope everyone has a real smooth recovery.

I'm going home soon. Everything went well. Difficult to get fluids in and walking is very slow. Just so happy to be sleeved! !!

It's finally here! !! Good luck everyone. May we all have successful surgerys with no complications and be back home soon, safe and sound ♥
