Can you ever have a taco again like with whole wheat soft tortillas? And I was wondering about whole wheat bread? How many carbs a day are people eating?

What kind of chewable multivitamins are you all using?

Hi. I will begin my soft phase today. Let me first say that I focus on protein first and foremost. I was wondering if anyone can please tell me what carbs are allowed at this phase. Are you ever allowed soft tortillas for example? Also, I was wondering about meatloaf, since it is made with bread in it can't you eat it, or is there an alternative way to make it? And can you eat baked potatoes?
-
Thank you Elode!!
-
It has a lot of different meats on it but didn't say anything about baked potatoes and I was just wondering.

Just wondering at any point in anyone's sleeve journey did liquids or food feel "GOOD" going down?
-
Hello. My surgeon is staring me on vitamins Tuesday. What do you guys recommended as far as name brands, easy to swallow, ease of purchase?? Calcium, B 12 and I forgot the other one.
-
I don't think it is deceptive by any means!!!! It's nobody's business what you had done. If anyone asks me personally I'm saying high protein and low carbs with exercise. It's not a lie.

Soli3l, I had the sleeve and am having a very rough time with spasms, nausea, and a lot of pain when things go down. -
Hi I have a shower Sunday which Monday marks 2 weeks post op. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on soft foods I can eat there? Also, when, or is it ever safe to eat popcorn?

I am so sorry to hear this. Sending hugs and prayers to you -
I had no idea it would be this bad
brandeett replied to brandeett's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Yes I have talked to my surgeon. He said I may be healing slower than normal. Put my vitamins on hold for another week. -
I'm only 8 days out but am totally MISERABLE. I have spasms constantly. Deep stomach aches, nausea. Will anything ever feel comfortable going down again (food, drink)?? And how long will that be?? I can't take much more

Soli3l you don't need to apologize. We are all here for the same reason. That's like the 6th rude response I've seen here from someone. I thought this was for support???? -

I'm not talking a year out. I want to know how long it took to eat comfortably. Like 2 weeks, one month? -
I took 6 weeks off. I have very low tolerance for pain and do not bounce back easily after surgery
