First restaurant meal?

I haven't had my sleeve yet, (August24) but I envision crab or boiled shrimp since I live on the coast.

Paneer tikka masala from our local Indian place, no rice. I ate about 1/4 cup and had a few sips of a mango lassi until I got all worried about the lassi and whether it would be considered a "fluid" and if I shouldn't have it right after the paneer. I ate a little more of the paneer the next day for lunch but then told my husband he could eat the rest and drink the rest of the lassi.

This was in the soft foods phase. I could probably eat a bit more of the paneer now at 6.5 weeks out, but I still need to ask my NUT about the lassi. :)

Crab cakes at bonefish grill. Can only eat 1/2 a crab cake at a time. They are the only place with crab cakes that are basically all crab and almost no fillers

Does anyone know how long it takes for your stomach swelling to go down? I'm eating almost all my Protein but I can only eat a few bites and I'm full! I'll be 2 weeks post- op tomorrow.

We went out to a Mediterranean restaurant last night and it was my first time at a restaurant as well. I ordered the baked fish (tilapia) and it came with a salad and rice. I shared with my kid (he's one and can eat like a grown man). I ate my couple of bites and the Protein made me feel so much better. My husband and my kid ended up tag teaming my meal as I was trying to enjoy it. At least I saved money because the kid didn't need a kids meal.

Roasted chicken while I was on vacation, it was at a dinner theater. I felt the weirdest mix of sad and proud when I watched the rest of the plate go back to the kitchen!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
