I I'm only 9 days or so out and curious when some of you talk about your sleeve not liking certain things exactly what happens. Like celery or broccoli seems to be a problems for some so what would happen when you have this?

Anytime I eat something my sleeve doesn't like, I get cramping. I would advise as you introduce foods slowly, only do a small bite & see how it goes. Once I got out of liquid stage, I found it hard to do some of the soft stuff at first ( couldn't even eat just one whole scrambled egg for a while) but it got better. Couldn't tolerate Peanut Butter. Everyone is different....so be patient & listen to your body :-)

I can eat pretty much anything I want but in small portions. I can eat one fried egg and two pieces of bacon and feel stuffed! Also, a few small bites of chicken or other meat fills me up!

If I eat too fast or too much, I'm sick!

So by getting sick do you mean vomit, pain, or bathroom stuff? I hope the few bites you his mention are my future. I'm on day 9 and the purée phase is leaving me quite hungry

No food, and I mean nothing, has bothered Timmy, my tiny tummy. That being said, I have bothered Timmy. If I eat too fast or don't chew enough, it feels like a lump in my throat, and it is seriously uncomfortable. Only time helps it pass. It's a mistake that none of us wants to make on a regular basis!

Broccoli is hard to chew mushy enough, and it takes up too much room and keeps me from eating my Protein. Lack of Protein is my trigger for hunger , not fullness. That's the real reason I avoid certain foods. For example , if I have a green salad at lunch, I am ready to gnaw on my knuckles within an hour and a half. If I add egg or chicken to it, I'm good until my next meal.

We are all different , and you will find what's works and doesn't work for you. Enjoy the ride!

      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.
