I'm down 31lbs!! Starting to notice in my clothing a little bit!! I'm now eating pretty much whatever I want just not able to eat alot of it! I do find myself grazing all day long.. Anyone else doing this?? I'll be full in 5 bites, then 30 mins later I'm back at it!! what is the best filling foods? I am obsessed with the cutie oranges!!!! I can eat a whole cutie with no problem

I was cleared for food ..at two weeks..my surgeon list told me protien chew well..I had dumping.tonight though..I threw up.

Ugh..I got carried away

[steelergirl 135]

Foods that fill me up is protien..chicken..Tuna and fish..and veggies..that's all I way moslty anyway..I got the grazing..but it went away..

I'm cleared as well.. I'm smart though and don't eat things I don't think I could handle! I still haven't ate bread, meat, or corn!

I was sleeved on the 8th,too. I've lost 28 lbs to date. Sonds like you're doing really well - keep up the good work. I tend to graze as well and found that a package of instant oatmeal (I fix it toward the watery side) fills me up.

Good luck:)

I love oatmeal even though like 3-4 bites completely fills me up lol.. I have a baked potatoe with 0 calorie 0 fat butter spray and sometimes that's my lunch and dinner! It's amazing how little can fill you up!! For some reason I look at portion size now alot more than before lol.. I can't believe how much food someone can consume!! Sometimes I'm so jealous lol.. Like I'd love to be able to down a big chili hotdog with slaw and onion rings.. Yummy

Jennifer,

I had my sleeve done in TJ on Nov 3rd, but am really surprised to hear you're eating oatmeal, baked potatoes, cutie oranges and no meat. The diet plan I was given wasn't very rigid, but it did stress no starchy carbs, and 60 grams of protien a day, I have eaten just about every meat out there, and I was told no fruit for at least 6 months, even then, to go light due to their sugar content. How are you getting your protien in, are you still on shakes? I'm so surprised by how different a lot of diet plans that we are given are, it's crazy. I've seen some people don't even do a pre-op while others have 6 months of strict pre-op.

I'm drinking 3 shakes a day at 23grams of Protein each... I know It's wild at how every doctor is different.. I know what you mean!!

I am 4 weeks out today also and I too am starting to eat a little more of everything but making sure I chew and chew and chew. Grazing I have no idea how to do that haha. I say that because I try to drink all day long ( I struggle with getting 64oz in) and before a meal I have to wait at least 30-45mins and then after I eat I have to wait an hour .. I have no time right now to graze

Keep up the great work ! 31lbs down is awesome!!
