I am 5 months out and can eat a slice of pizza without any trouble. i normally get meat lovers for the protein...but I've tried others. I don't do it very often but its nice to feel a little normal and have a slice with friends every once in awhile.

You and me both. I know that it's not something healthy or anything that we should be indulging in but I'm pretty sure that if we have a slice once in a blue it wouldn't kill us. I live in NYC so like every block or so has a pizzeria. Lol. No fun.[/quote']

Dee, I was told after six weeks post op, I can have thin crust pizza, with healthy toppings.

I haven't had broccoli but if I can handle it in the future maybe I can have a slice with broccoli on top sounds good right? I eat Celeste frozen pizza usually half of it the whoe pie is 350 calories.

I think we all try way too soon. I wasn't able to tolerate it until the end of my 3rd month. Just make sure to do small bites and chew really good.

I'm going to be 3 months. Had only 1 slice of papa John pizza the slice is tiny not like regular pizza places like 2 weeks ago since I was leaving the beach with my family. Now sometimes I eat half frozen Celeste pizza for lunch. I don't eat much. Taking my self out to UNO for steak tips & mash potato when I hit 6 months.

That's awesome...it's hard sometimes to not want the stuff that isn't good for you when everyone around you is eating it. Like at parties and such. I had my surgery a week before Easter nd going to the family dinner and having to drink broth was just depressing...but now I feel much better about it. I hardly ever do anything I would consider a bad choice but it's nice to know that every once in awhile I can treat myself. I too try out new foods and like you.l.sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I defiantly think this is a journey and I'm glad we have this forum to lean on each other and share our experiences. When others in my family don't know how I'm feeling...it's nice to get on here and hear from people who do.

Need advice, i am a munchier. I am in the pureed stage but I need some crunch. Any recommendations?

Rice cake is really good. I have to buy another bag. Took me like 3/4 days to eat a small bag since I can't fit much after surgery.

I'm a big crunchy fan as well. Once you get past pureed foods, you might want to try Kashi Pita crisps. 120 calories in eleven crisps and crunchy heaven! Great with salads, Soups, or even as a low calorie snack. Kellogg's Special K Cracker chips are excellent as well. Not quite as crunchy as the pita crisps but a really great substitute for potato chips and 110 calories in 27 chips. They come in a ton of flavors and I eat them any time I would have eaten chips or fries in my other life. Lol! You might enjoy nuts as well. Just about any kind of nut you can name is rich in "good" fats (mono and polyunsaturated) and they're a good source of Protein as well.

Great idea Mami! I love the Quakes Rice Snacks and they come in sweet and savory flavors! 120 to 140 calories and they are delicious!

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
