I did remember to ask about the peanut butter and he told me to go for it!! I did however have to wait until I was on solid foods to try bread and Ob! Good luck!

I just know that you are going to do wonderful!!! I had my surgery April 8th and I do not regret it one bit! It was hard the first few weeks but then things start to fall back into routine and get better! Especially since you will be around your children! One of my brother in laws passed away a day after my surgery. It overwhelmed me. I was of no help to my family during this horrible time in our life. I was unable to go to viewing nor the funeral so its been a very hard struggle. i knew my family had to be with my sister in law during this time but being home alone with no one here made my first week at home just plain old miserable- I still haven't really allowed myself to just acknowledge what happened and cry. I can only imagine what you are going thru. You are doing what's best for your health and your children- the same reasons I decided to have my surgery. I look foward to making friends with you and perhaps keeping in touch- we will get past the tough beginning together!

I meant to ask my doctor but forgot this very same question. However, I tried a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread not toasted- and it went down wonderfully!! I had my surgery April 8th so a little over a month ago hope this helps!

Awesome!! You are going to do great!!

I was actually pretty surprise to see that most of the people on here had to do a liquid diet before surgery.. I wonder why doctor are different with the pre-op instructions...

I had my surgery April 8th so a little over a month ago and I have had bread; both white and whole grain. The white bread wasn't bad but it was a little uncomfortable after it hit my stomach.. The wheat was wonderful! I missed my peanut butter and jelly sandwiches!!

Awesome!!!! You are an inspiration to us all!!!

All of your updates are an inspiration to those of us that just started out! Thank you so very much for all of your updates!!! I had my surgery April 8 and have only lose 25 lbs so I have been felling a little discouraged! However you guys have turned that around for me! Thanks again!!

I had my surgery April 8 exactly a month ago. This is my first week back at work and I have absolutely no energy! I am beyond drained.. To a certain extent I think it's normal

I had my surgery April 8th and I take Tylenol for pain! No problems! Also NyQuil sleep aid and no problems either!

I am wondering do we have to crush every pill we need to take? How about a small allergy pill? It's smaller than an m&m- do I still need to crush it?

Thank you for your responses guys! You guys are awesome! I will give this small pill a try!! Lol- we shall see!

I'm a month out of surgery and its a generic allergy pill- you think that I'll be okay if I swallow whole?!

Any idea how the recipe might be?

This is pretty awesome!!

I had my surgery April 8- so a little over 3 weeks ago. I had weight loss the first two weeks of 21lbs... After that no weight loss!! It's been a little over a week and no additional weight loss!!! Any advice and/or help? I have no clue what I am doing wrong!!

I did want to ask I was given a list of vitamins and such to purchase and it looks like a total of 6 a day. How important is this really? My doctor said I would need to take these the rest of my life but is it really necessary?

Thank you guys for all your replies!! I have not measured myself so I have no idea if I'm losing any inches I was just worried about not losing any weight!!! Lol now I know I shouldn't worry since it seems pretty common among others that have had the sleeve.

Thank you guys so much for the info! It's good to know I am not the only one that has gone thru this!! I appreciate you guys! I won't worry so much about it then!!

I had my surgery April 8. So 3 weeks ago. About how much food should I be eating? I'm scared to try new food because I still don't really know how it feels when i should stop eating. I don't know what the feeling of full feels like. Any help would be truly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much! I'm a little nervous about all this; I'm so glad I found this forum!

I see. I do like refried beans; I'll be eating more protein as well.

Thank you so much for all the wonderful info. I'm not drinking nearly as much water as I should but I'm going to try harder! How about rice? Were you able to eat rice at this stage?

How often? And how many times a day should I be eating?

I am on soft foods right now.
