Does anyone have problems eating salads? My dr recommended i try to eat a salad with shredded chicken and cheese on top. Granted everything is shredded and mince. I have noticed when I eat about 3 bites I have this full feeling in my throat.

Can we take ibuprofen after surgery? My dr said I could take capsule and crushed pills.

I knew my husband before the weight, but nothing could ever change my love for him. We are truly soul mates and I thank god for him!

Well this week started my 5th week. I have lost 40lbs!!! I can't believe it!! I'm starting to adventure out from to my soft food stage. But I find things really cause my chest to hurt, has anyone else had this symptom?

How many calories do you consume a day? And how far post op are you? Do you adjust your calories based on your exercise regiment? Thanks in advance!!

You may be having esophagus spasms...try relaxing and sipping hot coffee or tea. If bread did not dislodge it, then if very well be a spasm or stricture.

I'm looking for some tasting fish recipes. I love fish but I have never cooked it. I have googled some but they all have quiet a bit of butter in them. So do you guys have a sleeve friendly fish recipe???

Have you guys tried pickles? If so when post-op? I'm craving them!!

Ok, I NEVER cook fish so I need some recommendations for sides other than fish and chips.

Great recipe! I think I may tweak on it tomorrow and post my finished product

I need that recipe

I have eaten a pot sticker with no problems. But 1 was all I could eat.

Lettuce doesn't bother me as long as I eat the shredded kind.

Just tell him "you know what, I got this! Thank you for your useless input Now you can go eat a bagel!" I agree its better to be civil BUT Sometimes you have to put your big girl panties on and stand your ground!! ????

I may have some shirts that will fit you. I will go through my closets this week. Just send me your address in a message.

Breakfast: 1/4c smoked chicken breast Lunch: 1/4c smoked chicken with chiles sprinkled with cheese 1tsp of sour cream Dinner: 1/4c homemade Brunswick stew Snacks: one bite homemade donut 6 tiny pickles

I know how stressful it was to wait, but good things come to those who wait! My advice is get everything around your house like you want it! I did a spring cleaning on mine and organized everything for the ppl helping me while i was down an so glad I did my OCD about drove me crazy!! And I was also one of the rare cases that had complications and had to stay in the hospital for a week. Stick to buying samples your taste buds could change mine did.

Thanks! Great thread
