PB's will suck, i havent had one, well kind of had, a while ago like in week 3 i think, i tried a cracker and it felt like it was stuck (i know i wasnt supposed to) but i tried it anyways, it didnt come up it went down after awhile, it does hurt, but i really shouldnt have had that since i really dont have a fill. i will eat the popsicles and i will get some more gatorade g2 cause i can drink those ..ugh my mom just got the wrong kind, hopefully its ok, its regular gatorade >.< what are some softer Proteins? eggs and what else? and yeah the meatloaf stayed down. i dont have any burning, i had a little bit in my mouth but it went away..i know, this website helped me get through tough times and found answers to my questions, i come on here everyday, yeah its going to be hard when i go back to school, im really nervous to go back, just the thought of getting sick or something, bothers me. thanks (:

Softer proteins...refried Beans, greek yogurt (I love the SF preserves ontop), cottage cheese, oatmeal or another hot Cereal with some soy Protein mixed in (I have this most mornings...about 20g of protein with 2T of the soy p.), thick bean Soups, meat stews, chili. Some have problems with eggs actually as they are rubbery and don't break up anymore than you chew them in the pouch so chew. Stick to the things you know you can eat the first few weeks back at school and you'll do fine. Even as much as chewing sometimes it's how fast you eat, so take it slow.

How are you feeling by now. I agree with eating things you know will work the first few days of school. I drank Protein shakes for lunch the first week I was back to work after my surgery so that I didn't risk getting sick.

Slow down and relax. This is the best time of your life, enjoy it.

I started doing solids the day my nut told me to and since then I've been getting a little better she also said to eat my Protein instead of drinking it.

      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

      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.
