I would be interested in your size 18 if they are available.

We all loved them but I think you have to puree the shrimp and veggies so they stay together since chopping wasn't fine enough but we ate them and loved them even the company didn't care that they didn't stay together they called it crab scramble. We will definitely will make again.

my husband it making these right now but we don't have a food processor so will it work with out pulsing the shrimp and veggies?

I choose the sleeve also due to the malabsorption and dumping plus felt this was less evasive. I have lost 65lbs. since 6/19. I feel good and haven't had any problems with the sleeve. I do think it is a personal choice in which one you do. My doctor told me each on is a tool and you have to work it for it to work for you. Good luck on your decision. I did search the web for information and asked question on here and people I know that have both. It is really your decision on what one you think is best for you. Good luck!

I think we can all relate to this. I cried to my husband that I thought I made a mistake and wished I hadn't had it done but I knew that I needed it to be healthier. After about a week things seemed so much better. I never looked so forward to have an egg in my life. I am almost 2 months out and do really good and feel fine. Still struggle with drinking slow enough so I went to eating ice chips but it all gets better with time. Its just nice to know that others felt the same way. Good luck and I think you will be glad you did it.

I work in a grocery store where I sometimes have to check out groceries and since I would sometimes have to lift things I was out for 3 weeks. I was fine other than one incision site that was sore for a few more days. I think having time to heal and adjust is good if you are able to be off. Good luck.

I was sleeved on June 26 and had two weeks that I didn't even lose anything. I have really upped the protein. I really have a hard time getting in my water. You are doing great. If your like me I would like to have woken up from the surgery a size 4. lol Keep up the good work.

I was sleeved June 26th and I had a pickle on July 20th it was just two small pieces that didn't have seeds not sure when we are to have them. I was wanting one also and I am not to have seeds that's why I chose the ones with no seed. Probably should ask your nut or doc to be safe. I didn't have any problem with the ones I ate. Keep up the good work.

Sweets were a big thing to me before surgery but I was 4 weeks out on my birthday I decided I would have a piece of birthday cookie cake. To my great surprise I didn't even like it. I didn't think it tasted good at all. Haven't craved chocolate or sweets since surgery. Good luck I think this has been easier than I thought and sure wish I would have done it years ago.

I know my husband was scared he would hurt me so he was stand offish at first but everything was fine. I agree you need to talk and find out whats wrong. Good luck with this and your new you.

I haI IiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiI I I had leg cramps last week. Wasn't sure if it was I stand at work or the bike riding but I have started having a banana in my protein shake or eat part of one and I haven't had a problem since. Not sure if that is what helped but other than that I haven't changed anything else. Good luck!

Thanks so much for posting this. I can't wait to get my samples. Thanks for sharing. Good luck you will do great.

Ok I was sleeved on June 26th and I am trying to find recipes that are high in protein that I can make to eat. I am tired of eggs, tuna, canned chicken, and cottage cheese. Seems all the recipes I find have some kind of bread or rice or other things that my doctor says I can't have. I found some pancake recipes that I thought would be a nice change but the dr. office said that they thought that would be to much like bread ugh. What are some things other than protein shakes do others eat. I think today I am just very frustrated and want something that is good to eat...I did look on Emily bites but muffins would also be a no no I guess in my drs. eyes. Thanks for letting me vent and any suggestions would be appreciated.

I also get the hiccups a lot. I asked at the doctors and they said no one had every said anything about hiccups. I had my surgery on June 26th and they have gotten better so I don't know if it is a result of cold or warm foods or eating to fast. But I wondered also it others on here had this issue. Its something I can live with it just cracks my family up.

I was sleeved on June 26th. So far since preop I have lost about 33lbs. I usually get up eat scrambled egg or cottage cheese then I ride my stationary bike for 15 mins. Then drink water till lunch which I will have tuna or chicken salad on two saltines and go swim for a little bit and for dinner have salamon, cottage cheese or some baked beans if I haven't gotten all my protein I will have a protein shake but most of the time I have been able to get the amount of protein my doctor wants me to have and then ride my bike again for 15 mins. My doctor had me walking right after surgery for exercise I was to walk 3 10 min. walks a day but I find I enjoy the bike better. The more you move the better you feel. I do have a hard time getting in all my water on some days. Good luck and keep up the good work.
