Hi. I'm 7 weeks out and I eat almost anything now. Don't be scared, as long as you chew very well, nothing will go wrong. You can have salmon, any kind of fish, chicken, toast, tuna (canned), ground meat, Beans hard boiled eggs, omeletes. Try those and you'll see. You've lost a lot, girl! Keep it up! I've only lost 25 pounds, but it's ok.

Why were you in the hospital, if you don't mind my asking? And where did you have your sleeve done?

Hi I agree with Anca, I will be six weeks post op tomorrow. I have moved on to most foods except certain vegetables and salads. Canned tuna, boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, fish--tilapia, salmon, chicken etc. Try eating something of your choice and take it slow. Good luck!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
