Hi!

I can eat most things but not a large quantity.

I'm eating a lot of fish, sellfish

Crackers with cheese and sliced deli meats

Salads

chicken

Oats

fruit

All vegetables (but staying away from potatoes and corn)

I still can't eat bread, Pasta, rice, beef or pork. They really don't sit well and make me feel unwell.

Hello I'm six months out and I can eat basically everything, but not a large quantity, a we know the surgery prevents. (yeah sleeve!) Personally I don't eat pork or shellfish (scavengers of the sea). The surgery is the best thing I could've eve done in my life. I can eat what I want. I am now having a problem with remembering to eat. I love it. Welcome aboard.

I'm 4 weeks post op and for Breakfast I either eat an over hard egg and 1 morning star veggie sausage or kashi Cereal with fat free skim milk....lunch is usually baby scallops or some type of fish or a morning star chicken patty (no room for sides) and dinner is pretty much the same as lunch....snacks I have the premier whole grain sea salt round crackers and put a little Peanut Butter on 3 crackers or a string cheese...if I have a good Protein day I usually treat myself to a little bit of sugar free ice cream....or a pickle

How long ago did u hVe surgery?

August 6.

So I'm about 7 weeks out

[jenpez 113]

I am nearly 8 weeks. Surgery on August 7th. I can eat most things that I am allowed to but only about 1/4 cup all up, so I rarely get to vegetables. Also I am having a problem getting fluids down. Favourites are curried smashed eggs on a cruskit. I can nearly eat the whole thing. Sashimi dipped in soy sauce with wasabi mixed in.

I have made the Emily bites lasagne cups, the Eggface Breakfast bites and the Eggface Mexican Turkey bites. All very nice but end up with too many of them.

I am so over the Protein Drinks, also supposed to be getting my Protein from food! I have made protein smoothies but can't have the recipe right because I just don't like them!

The Multivitamin tablets make me nauseous at best and throw up at worst so have gone to the chewy ones which are ok if I don't smell them.

Have never yet managed to get in more than 500 cals per day.

I eat chicken, grilled fish, refried fat free Beans (ole el paso are the best), eggs, toast, love stir fry, broccoli and cheese Soup, and just about anything I want but only a small portion! Been doing this since about 3 wks post-op! No beef or pork! Don't sit well at all! Spinach is good and tuna salad is really good! As long as my veggies are not crispy I can eat them! Steamed veggies don't sit well! I would like to know if everybody exercises lots and what kind of exercises? I have a bad back so I am limited!

Wow! I am three weeks post op and as far as food goes I can barely eat anything (it is just too much) today I had 1 scrambled egg 1/3 cup of puréed leek and potato soup( no cream). Thats it. I drink 2 Protein shakes with almond milk and usually staying up a little longer than I would like to have the last shake. The scale hasn't moved in a week ( which is unbelievably frustrating) I get my Protein and Water and usually hit between650 and 700 calories, I have no idea if this is normal but there it is.

Rei, try swimming. I am starting Water aerobics because it is easy on joints. Once some more pounds come off I'll be off to the workout out room at the Y. If that doesn't work do chair exercises ( just get a video) they have chair classes at my YMCA. Best of luck!
