You learn pretty quick what not to do with the sleeve! Lol....you will be able to eat that stuff again one day, but for now you got to take it easy! I don't miss that stage of recovery at all! I am two years and one month out now and I have learned ( almost to a science) exactly what I can and cannot handle. I still have so much restriction that it is really easy to maintain my weight. I feel so lucky to have gotten the sleeve. It was the best thing I could have ever done for myself! Good luck to you! :)

This is odd to me. After having 75% of your stomach removed to lose weight...you want to eat drive thru fried food?

Unless you're at goal' date=' I think your surgeon would faint.[/quote']

Sigh...

It's all trial and error. And boy do I know it if I drink too soon after eating.

Pasta doesn't sit well with me. One small bite and my meal is done. It sits like an uncomfortable brick. Just that one tiny bite!!! Even if its my first and only bite in a meal.

Fried foods hurt too.

I've had a lot of fun finding and creating healthier alternatives to my fave dishes that were less than stellar. That's a habit I started with Weight Watchers.

Oh, and beware of the Sleeve Authority! ;-)

Try some white castle boo.

Wow what people will say when they are safely hidden behind a keyboard. I'd love to see you say that to someone's face in a support group. Oh wait, but then maybe your manners will have kicked in since people could see your face...

If you don't have anything nice to say...

Try sautéing shrimp in a pan. It cooks up real fast and is high Protein low carb, low cal. I made some in olive oil with fresh herbs and garlic and lemon. I know the temptation is there, and you are right we've all been there. But if you find alternatives it will help. You will learn quickly. Actually I think you can taste the shrimp better when it's not fried.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
