Hey everyone, how is everyone doing on portion control, I try to weight out as much of my meals as possible but I just want to know what's the normal portion you guys eat now??

Thanks it really does, I guess I should eat more maybe that explains my stall.

How long after surgery did you guys start taking pre workout drinks?

Hi everyone I'm almost 5 weeks out I got my sleeve on 2/1 and everything's been running smooth but for the past week I throw up with any protein shake and I've been having a hard time meeting my protein and fluids goals because I'm always so nauseous. Has anyone gone through this? Also this started one day when I had puréed chicken and I'm guessing I ate too fast so I threw up, but now I throw up everyday regardless of how slow I eat I've been regressing back to even thinner puréed foods I'm supposed start incorporating regular soft foods next week but I don't feel quite ready.

I'm nearly at the end of my full liquids phase, I can't wait to move forward but I'm quite stumped on what to eat. Any suggestions? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks that sounds really good but I'm gonna try to stay as far away from carbs as possible, they're a slippery slope for me, and my team said to keep them to a minimum.

I wonder if I can have a over easy egg instead of scrambled. How I miss real food.

I'm Mexican American and I can't wait to re incorporate beans into my diet I miss my staple food

Lol yes I've been using my toddles utensils and plates this whole time

I'm gonna have to do that too [emoji4]

All you're suggestions sound really great and I'm looking forward to try that ricotta bake everyone raves about it.

Chili sounds so good. That's definitely on my puréed food list

I had a lot of abdominal pressure after surgery and found it hard to move around. I told my doc in the hospital and he ordered an abdominal binder. Its a band with Velcro closure. What a difference it made for me. Good luck on your journey. Sent from my VS987 using the BariatricPal App Oh yes big difference. My hospital was very proactive and fitted me and gave me one on my pre op appointment Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Mine is Feb 1st, Ive been working so much that I havent had a whole lot of time to sit down and process it. It hit me hard last week and I couldn't sleep because my brain would not shut off due to upcoming surgery.
