I haven't had any problems I'm 3 weeks post and so far I have had tuna fish or canned chicken with a little mayo, eggs, grits, and crab cake ( frozen from SAMs and it was the bomb) those are the only meats I've had. I had a bite of string Beans and sweet potato but I'm trying to stay away from carbs I still can't get all my fluids in but I've never been a big drinker

I thought grits would be heavy. You've eaten quite a bit in week 3. About how many bites can you take in per meal?

God is Good!

Amen!

I can eat anywhere from 1/4 c to 1/2 c depends on what it is . The grits where watery and I knew they would swell so I only ate 4 bites. My dr said that our stomach would be sticky and flat and to always take one bite and wait a few minutes to let it slide down and open the stomach up.

Oh, that's fantastic advice.

My dr told me I could do Cream of Wheat but I'd much rather do grits!!! I think I may try them slowly here in the next few days. Next week I plan to do some quiches! I'm getting excited just thinking about it!!!!! I know once we can move to that next food level we'll feel much much better!!!!

@@yolicious1

how have things been going??

you are a 12 day VET!!!!

glad things have been going so well

the first couple of weeks can be very trying

happy you are still around to talk about life after surgery

always listen to YOUR doc and NUT following their rules only

other people might/will mention things they were told by their NUT or doc

people on the board - will give great advice, comments

but after all is said and done listen to YOUR medical advice from your team

continue to enjoy your new best friend - the sleeve

you are starting a wonderful trip through sleeveland

keep up the good work

kathy
