Yep...for sure. Believe it or not my cals are way down since surgery. I can barely eat half of what I could eat pre surgery.

I'm 6 days out and and I'm guilty, for the last 2 days I've been picking (literally...pinch size) at food. Goes down ok (chewed very very well)...it fills me. I'm a little worried I could be damaging my pouch and or staples, I feel good though, no nausea, no vomitting. I can't wait till I'm able to sit and enjoy a small dinner with my husband and kids.

So throwing this out there for you veteran Sleevers, have any of you tried the cauliflower/cheese Pizza Crust? I'm looking forward to when I can actually chew my food. Lol

Holy carbonation! And I was sad about having to give up beer! You made my day.

This is probably a stupid question but not liking it I don't drink beer or champagne, is it carbonated?

Don't eat solids too early because your sleeve is very swollen and numb, and things can get stuck in your staple line. Because the nerves aren't healed you could be tearing yourself up and not even know it. That early on, it really is life/death. Wait at least 6 weeks before doing anything risky. Unless you want to end up back in the hospital.

I will break off a piece of chocolate and eat it with almonds. Also addicted to crunchy stuff. Currently Terra chips, they are veggie but can't be that great for you. I am still losing and my cal intake is around 1100 a day but need to cut back on useless foods. I am eating more meat and raw veggies now.

I quit smoking 5 months ago. The last couple of days I've been seriously DREAMING of cigarettes. It's pissing me off because I don't want to start smoking, but because of fighting those cravings I caved on the eating over the weekend. Note: Due to not being able to stand any Liquid Protein (I gag after 2 Small sips every single time) I've progressed my diet to soft foods at 3 weeks instead of 4 weeks :/ I have however stuck to that diet pretty well...until after my sons football game...I didn't get anything at the ice cream stand for our victory celebration, but I ate the toppings off of 1 piece of pizza(Was going to take a tiny nibble of the crust, and my sister shoved it off my fork lol) then the next day I ate 1/3 of a mini Oreo container (so 1 serving of cookies), and 3/4 of cheese Pringles mini tube (3/4 of a serving). This was my first time eating something "off plan". Maybe time to go on my Zoloft again.

      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.
