Beef in soft food stage?
LasVegasMike replied to NorthCountryGirl's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I ate beef, turkey, and chicken with in 2 weeks of getting surgery. Granted i could only have 3 bites and i was full. You should be fine. I never had any problems at all. -
To snack in between meals or not to snack
LasVegasMike replied to Kris77's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I snack between meals all the time. I usually just have a slice or two of swiss cheese with some yellow mustard. Weight keeps coming off just fine. -
Chick-fil-a : post op
LasVegasMike replied to Newbie1.19.19's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Last week (6 weeks post op) I was in a tough position with picking up a friend who just got into Vegas and we were both starving. We went to KFC and I ordered the Nashville hot chicken tenders and a water. I was able to get a single tender down and saved the rest for the next 2 meals. It never touched my weight loss. I lost a over a pound by the next day. I just wouldn't eat it every day, but I won't be afraid to try it again in a month or two just to change things up. -
I had my surgery on 12/10 and some days I can eat every 2 hours and some days it's hard to even have one normal meal. I found it best just to get in a routine. For me, I wake up and go for a mile and a half walk. Then an hour or two later i'll try to have a meal (1.5 ounces or less still for me). I just try to eat 3 meals a day, mostly chicken or for a snack i'll have some cheese. So far it's worked well for me I'm down over 70 pounds.

Not seeing myself any different
LasVegasMike replied to ashleydokey's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I know the feeling. I can only tell a difference in my face and I've lost over 70 pounds. All my co-workers tell me I look fantastic and are super supportive but I still feel massive (And I am really) but I'm only 2 months into this so time will tell I suppose. -
Hey you and I got sleeved on the same day! Good luck with everything!

I hit a stall but it only lasted a week and I was about 6 weeks post op. I'm now 6 days away from my 2 month mark and I'm back to losing weight. So hang in there it will pass. When I hit the stall I started to walk every single day, about a mile and a half or so and I just ate chicken and cheese for all my meals. It jump started me losing weight again at about a pound per day.

After surgery, ever eat food you shouldn’t?
LasVegasMike replied to Bluebird_'s topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I actually ate solid food 3 days after surgery with no complications. About a week after surgery I had chicken and turkey. Went for my check up and they told me to go back to liquid diet for 4 more days........ whatever I did. Lost over 70 pounds in 7 weeks since surgery so far.
