@Catracks - where did you find the quinoa Pasta? I love the grain and usually cook it in my rice cooker but I'm afraid I won't be able to have it anymore once I'm sleeved in mid-June. I also wanted to ask anyone, once sleeved I understand that I will need to chew my food extremely well. Will it be that way forever? Thanks!

I found the quinoa Pasta at Vons. Trader Joe's might carry it too. Why would you not be able to have Quinoa anymore? I eat it all the time. It's very high in Protein. I eat 1/4 cup with sauteed onions and peppers.

Here is the product website:

I'm about 5 weeks out and have fallen into temptation! I too can eat nearly a whole slice no crust in about twenty min. I feel horrible bc I know it's not in the diet plan but I feel so dam deprived and it didn't hurt to eat it

I am three mths out and if I don't chew thoroughly, things get stuck and I slime. Sleevie saying "slow down and chew!!" so yes, it's a forever thing. And your sleeve will remind you if you aren't doing a good job. Lol

My doctor cleared me to eat anything after two weeks. My sleeve is pretty good and so far I haven't gotten sick. Despite the clearance, I didn't eat just anything. I was listening to my body and only ate what felt good in my tummy. Lentils, yogurt, eggs feel pretty good (I am 4 weeks out). I have made myself a healthy version of a pizza, but after the first couple of bites I'm not sick, but also I don't feel as good as with other foods. I love popcorn, and as I took my daughter to see the Whimpy Kid movie, I thought I would try one. I ended up not doing so. It was just not appetizing. I listened yo my body, not force anything you know? Maybe some day.
