if you want it bad enough go ahead but you will not do well with any acid foods if your procedure was done correctly you should not be having any cravings until the 8th month all I can think about was getting water down and not being hungry I lost 80 lbs in 7 months I am at a plateau and look awesome eating salsa I tried its still sitting in my refridgerator about 4 months now I get a craving I have a bite I put it down or throw away and don't think about it I know its around for me it just makes me throw up or gives me a stomach ache good luck on your journey and choosings

Overwhelmed with food choices
tamila0624 replied to KittyCathy22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
why eat on a break just have a yogurt at lunch or half sandwich then I stopped eating around 5pm nothing after that food is not important if your hungry just some protein will work -
just remember your goal and don't eat besides if you do you will probably throw up because your new stomach is only ready for liquids right now it will get easier after about 4 or 5 months but at that time you will probably only eat baby food puree baby food is what taste the best, blending yourself never could find the right smoothness then you usually go with the Protein shakes I did that for about 8months I lost 80 lbs very very happy exercise I gave myself the best gift a new life and I will not I mean never go back to being fat heck no I look fantastic and feel fantastic I go to orangetheory and work my butt off too wear the little clothes size 10-12 use to be 18-20 252-172 stand at 5'11 tomorrow morning 5:30am gym best workout early before work good luck don't sweat

Just got cleared for soft foods today
tamila0624 replied to Zsazsaamor's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
that is a lot wow for me I could not eat that at all I had to buy baby food heat up in microwave that was the only food I could swallow or keep down with throwing up anything to heavy came right up good luck -
that happen to me the old habits were sneaking back in I just had to make a choice gain weight or stopped the old habits and start with what I had done a year ago I had my surgery in apr2015 but lost 80 lbs because I always ate like a bird and use more calories then what I eat so if you want to lose stop all the nashing stop all the sugar stop all the ice cream and cake if you have to have it once every two weeks until you see your self dropping and exercise more I will not let myself be more than 175 lbs I am 5'11 and now a size 10-12 pants shorts a dress I refused to be a 18 - 20 ever again some times I forget to eat no big deal drink Water lot more if you can't no big deal food to me is just a necessity but very very little portions I might have a bite of a piece steak or hamburger and leave it too take home or wait ten minutes for the next bite depend who I am with I never never never eat macdonalds or any fast foods no fried foods either like I said I eat like a bird and very happy with the results gooduck

trust me we all went through what you are experiencing I called my doctor I was so scared they prescribe something don't recall what because instead I drank prune juice yuk but I pooped then another 4 or 5 days went by pooped again stayed on liquids and I lost double digits each week because I followed to the tee what the paper said to do each week one year later I lost 80 lbs I gain a pound lose a pound no big deal as long I don't go up I am happy I went to the gym the first day after the hospital walk half hour for two months then the other half hour I rode the bike two months before I started to jog because my stomach was still adjusting plus I a eat today like a bird which I do not miss food I save on money I eat one yogurt in the morning no coffee until one year lunch for me was early I quit eating at 4 or 5pm but pooping will come naturally you will see no big deal plus every time you poop you poop what you eat good luck

lets see when you got home you didn't drink I know when I got home in the morning I relax and had broth or what ever they told me this is going back a year but the next day I exercise sometimes twice a day I was off from work for a month to two months off just to make sure I don't lift anything too heavy so 6 days not too of lost anything I be upset I usually lost at least 10 lbs twelve lbs a week because I moved around more than what I put in my mouth I was too scared to mess up good luck if I were you I start moving more and more laundry clean house buy a big dog go for runs after the stitches come out -

I am scared I stretched out my sleeve
tamila0624 replied to crazygoose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
wow did you have that test in the hospital the endoscopy to see if the staples were in correctly and to make sure no leaks, it sounds rough your drinking way too fast no cottage cheese just thinking how you are sabotaging yourself is making me sick slow down you are not hungry just bored go for a walk but first join orange theory the best place to meet and exercise more than the calories you take in the less you will eat its in your mind you want to change you did change now live the change stop just drink broth, Water its hard a year later for me is hard to drink water but I started at 252 I am now 179 was 18-20 now 10-12 I refused to eat if I am going to put weight on paid for the sleeve out of my 401 good luck -
Is egg drop soup ok?
tamila0624 replied to PissiChrissi's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
it is fine too have egg drop if you can keep it down try a spoon full walk away come back do it again just don't sit and eat it all to this day one year later I cannot go to a Chinese restaurant and eat a 4 course meal do I miss sometimes but I am happier with my new body more so being called fat or people dishing you I rather not eat the 4 course meal as far the egg drop soup check calories and exercise more than the calorie intake. -
Frustrated and don't want to go up the crazy tree of doubt!
tamila0624 replied to thundermama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
FIRST OFF EXCUSE THE LINE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET RID OF THIS LINE So what to do to lose more weight I lost my weight from speed walking at orange theory every day maybe twice a day and use more calories so when I ate or I should say drink no eating for me I lost 10 to 15 lbs week for 5 months I lost a total of 80 lbs and feel awesome a year later I am maintaining my weight I am still 179 sometimes 182 but never more than that if I lose I lose in the stomach I have no hips lost my boobs but that's ok wear a push up bra as long as I am still a 10-12 in a dress or jeans I am ok do I eat I nibble on chicken or lamb chops broth Soup is good I do not go to macdonalds or any fast foods do not think about it either my sleeve is the most important thing in my life and being skinny no more people calling me fat especially men at work snickering it is a whole different world for me and I still exercise every day because if I want something I have to make sure I work it off and lose a pound or two that day -

Seriously need help meeting goals
tamila0624 replied to ld33's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
one other thing Water still to this day one year later cannot drink water I try but it just does not get any better I hope you have better luck found out water is very important but I drink as much as I can I need to brush up on it as well I try every day I wake up I tried sipping that works but I get busy no way I can finish a bottle in a few minutes like I use to sometimes I will drink to fill myself. I am never in the mood to cook so something liquid I mean water is really the only thing I have in the house if I add to the water is crystal light or mio I don't dare to drink any carbonated drinks it hurts my stomach once in the blue moon one cup coffee but with sweet n low and milk not black I am sort of a blan eater but may be because I lost 80 pounds in less than a year and exercise every day I went from 252 to 172 size 18-20 to 10-12 I am 5'11 and very active I have one horrible problem and that is peripheral neuropathy which I hope you don't have pain and numbness cramping in my feet . good luck with your journey and don't worry follow what you think will be good for you, have fun your going to love it I do . -

fluids is it and I was ok with that because I did exactly what the doctor prescribed at that time besides if I ate anymore I throw up so fluids was it broth Soups Protein drinks yogurts with the most Proteins anything solid was out could not swallow without throwing up immediately walking as possible food to me was just a necessary item so fluids was fine plus my food bill cut down a lot yayyyyy
