Couple of food and timeframe questions

[BabySheldon 158]

I just tried steel cut oatmeal and Sleevie Ray says "do not like!" Sheesh, I couldn't get down more than 3-4 bites before I felt pukey.

Really? I I love oatmeal I have not attempted to eat it yet I tried farina the week of stage III and it went down five fine I love steel cut oatmeal's well but I haven't tried either I hope you can tolerate it soon ....

Sorry for the typos...I'm watching my hometown team win the big game!!!!!

That timeframe is different for every person. Ask yourself these questions: Can you get all your Protein in? I had no room for anything besides protein and a bite or two of veggies for a few months. Do acidic foods bother you? I couldn't eat most fruits till many, many months after surgery. I missed the stone fruit season the year I was sleeved. Do starchy foods make you sick? I couldn't eat bread, Pasta, potatoes, or rice till about 9 months to one year. Are you losing weight consistently every week? Some foods are pretty calorie dense. I didn't eat those foods till I was close to goal. Does eating that food make you want more? Some people have to give up certain foods because they cannot eat them in small amounts. There are many foods I only eat when out because I know I would eat more than I should if they were in my hone. Lynda

I love this insight. I'm being sleeved tomorrow

I try to focus myself on the fact that the sleeve helps control how much I eat, but I control WHAT I eat. Eventually, the sleeve will loosen, and I don't want to be finding myself at the bottom of a bag of Doritos.

i can eat anything that does not have a lot of sugar.. Im basically at goal weight and trying to slow down my weight loss.. i added in 1 300 calorie meal.. The only think so far that has not agreed with me is a dd hot cocoa. i had no idea how much sugar was in it and it killed me.

Someone recently told me that DD has changed their recipe and that its intolerable to people, even ones who have not had surgery. I have it up long before surgery because it was making me ill
