I LOVE steak! I was so happy that I was able to eat it after surgery! I'm so happy for you, especially since it's been so long! If your sleeve is like mine, it will also love slow cooked ribs and pork :) Those are my top three favorite foods!

I'm hoping I'll be able still enjoy the tiniest bit of steak one day too. I've heard so many people on here cannot tolerate beef anymore.

My band is the majority of the reason I stopped eating red meat. There's just seemingly no way to chew it down the the point that it can clear the stoma. Every attempt to eat it (I only tried a few times) was a fail. I _can_ eat it now, but for the most part I still choose not to. I do eat some moist beef Jerky now and then. But I've found the taste no longer appeals to me, and my body does not feel as good.

If you're a steak lover, then congrats. :)

I've found several things to be blessings over life with the band. Like I can drink when I'm thirsty, not when my band wants to let me. I can eat at night, or morning... not just in my band's "window of opportunity". I don't have to question at every meal whether or not I'll be able to eat. I don't have to rely Soup all the time, or start a meal with Soup to prep the oven, so to speak. I can take pills when I need to take pills. With my slip, something stuck might cause discomfort for 2 - 3 days. I can remember some pretty horrible headaches that I just had to wade through, because there was no chance I was getting drink or pills down.

And no more having to taste those pills, btw. I would yak on a Tylenol, they were too big. Few things are as nasty as the taste of Tylenol or Tylenol sinus, or Predisone. Gah.

      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.
