Big lu 5 Posted November 13, 2012 I was sleeved on 11/1. I have done phenomenal. Already 30 lbs lighter, am able to get all the Protein and Water in i want, and I feel awesome. My only problem is i have two more days of shakes and then 2 weeks of pureed foods. I need to bite into something. I spend all day fantasizing about the day i can bite something...even a vegetable ...anything. it's driving me nuts. Am i alone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iegal 460 Posted November 13, 2012 Your day will come, sooner than you think. Small steps. You are healing now. Remember, a man does not run a marathon on a whim. He trains for it. You are in training. Have you tried eating a sugar free Popsicle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big lu 5 Posted November 13, 2012 Ive had the popsicles, yogurt, pudding, and shakes. The need to bite and chew is overwhelming, but thank you for those supportive words. It helped a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGamer 406 Posted November 13, 2012 I've heard some people say that they'd chew on something and spit it out, just to get the chewing sensation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mommy sleeve 16 Posted November 21, 2012 I am on day 18, soft foods. I have been taking a third to 1/2 cup of low fat ricotta cheese , putting about a tablespoon of good marinara sauce on it and about a teaspoon of really good grated Parmesan cheese. I warm the sauce first and the ricotta slightly. It is low carb, low fat and high protons and makes you feel like you are eating lasagna! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only I was allowed to have mozzarella so I'd put some grated mozz into the mix. This "meal" saved my life. Lol. I felt like real food but was still in my allowed meals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
