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.

I had a hard time with applesauce I didn't get sick but it was close and I ate slow I thought maybe it was the acid. I haven't tried it since. My doc said some things will bother but maybe in a few weeks it will be fine. Good luck. Eating slow is hard sometimes but it hurts when I don't. I am 3 weeks out so I really new with it also.

I had a hard time with the clear protein drinks like special K protein water mix, isopure it would coat my tongue and burn my throat and almost made me vomit so I called the drs. office and they told me to stop drinking it since I would be able to have skim milk and stuff in a few days. They didn't want me vomiting. So you might want to call them about it. I do know that reading on here all doctors are different but I can't imagine throwing up is good for the stomach or the incisions. Good luck. Things do get easier and I am only 3 weeks out.

I was sleeved on June 26th so I am pretty new to this but I am glad I did it. It is hard at first with the gas and such but now its not bad unless I eat to fast then I have an uncomfortable feeling. I also had the first couple weeks wondering if I made the right decision and at about the 2nd week knew I did. Its just the gases and bubbles in the body and all the emotions that go along with major surgery. I am so glad I did it. Can't wait till I have lost more to really feel the difference. This site has been a life saver for me. If I have a question I can find the answer her plus see how others dealt with the gas ect. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

Wow! Great job!

I had 4 incisions. The longest is a little over an inch. All of them healed by 2 weeks out. The biggest is at the top of my pants and it pulls some but other than that they healed well.

I chose the sleeve out of lap band, sleeve and by pass because I know someone who did the band and is heavier now than when she did it. I know it is her choices in food since you can eat whatever just smaller amounts same with the sleeve but didn't want something in my body that could cause problems down the road. Plus people that I have talked to that were sleeved had less problems than the ones I know that did the band. It is a personal choice but I felt this one was the best of the three. Good luck with your choice and with your weight loss.

I am 6 days post op and I know I have lost inches since my watch keeps spinning around my wrist. Can I ask how you do the body weight ticker? I am down 17.5 pounds since my pre op appt.

Wow my doc told me a month to make sure everything is healed. Swimming is one thing I was looking forward to and it will be the end of July before I can get in. Just amazing how all docs have different restrictions.

Welcome! I am new to this also just got sleeved last week and not doing to bad. I have questions about the site to and can't figure some of the stuff out. I wanted to know how you did the body ticker and a few other things so I just keep on trying and reading forums and hope I run across the answer. Good luck to you!

I think most of us felt the same way. I don't have many pictures with my kids when they were little because of my size. I wouldn't go to class reunions because I was bigger than I had been in high school. I sure wish now I had done this years ago. I just got sleeved last week and not feeling to bad. Can't wait to see the changes. Good luck to you and hope you do great.
