Hello
I will be sleeved in February and am looking to buddy up for support and to chat about our surgeries etc. I am going to add you both if that's ok and I look forward to hearing about your journeys :flowerforyou: xx0 -
I had my first bad experience since having the surgery. I am now on stage 2 of the diet which is puréed and soft foods. I decided to try scrambled eggs.....huge mistake!!!!!! It gave me very bad acid reflux and I was throwing up constantly. It took all night for me to recover from this. I spoke with a friend who has the lap band and she says she can't eat eggs either and she has been banned for over three years. Be careful with the eggs....0

Good luck with your surgery and I accepted your request0

I found eggs very difficult after my op. I also struggled with rice at first. Now I am ok with both.0

I was sleeved in July. Feel free to add me.0

Adding foods is a big science experiment that is very individualized. If it reacts bad put it away and try again in a few weeks. My new stomach appears to have become a bit of a "food snob". It refuses to tolorate cheap cuts of meat or meatballs made with too much filler. Thank God I can only eat 6 oz of protein at a sitting or I would go broke!0

Wow to the bad reaction with eggs!! I never would have thought that they would have given acid reflux how strange. Thanks for that Tip. Hopefully you are better now and have found other sorts of food to have instead.
How is your tummy feeling? xx0 -
I was sleeved July 2011. Eggs are hard at the beginning and I was told not to eat them until I was on soft food because the yolks are very dense and hard to digest. So you might want to wait on those for a bit. I started this journey at 386 pounds. I had 226 to lose all together and still have about 70 to go. After the first year it slows way down so I might still be working towards goal a year from now, but I will not give up. My personal goal is land somewhere below 200 pounds and stay there. Good luck with everything. This is by far the best thing I have ever done for myself.0

I was sleeved Nov. 13/13. Just 5 1/2 weeks out and I am doing well. The first week was hard - pain and exhausted all the time - but that has resolved itself and I am so glad that I did the surgery. All the best to you, and feel free to add me too.0

I am having such a hard time trying to figure out what to eat. I'm tired of the protein shakes, the food I want my stomach is too sensitive. So I have resulted to just drinking water and crystal light. I've tried sugar free pudding but just like Jell-o I'm tired of that already. I have had some feelings of regret due to this but deep down inside I know I made the right decision for my health. Does anyone have any ideas that may help?0

I was sleeved Nov. 25, 2013. I eat eggs, tuna, baked chicken and fish and cottage cheese. (like maybe 3 oz at a setting of just one of these). Still try to do one protein shake a day so that I can get my protein in. My problem is till trying to get enough to drink, I love lemon water and keep it with me all the time but have to remind myself to drink it. The weight does not seem to be coming off as quickly as most people's and I do believe it is because of the fluids. I was also down a couple of weeks and couldn't walk. I am walking now so hopefully it will start coming off.0

Sleeved on September 12, 2013. BEST DECISION EVER!
I am SO happy. I eat to live not live to eat and it is wonderful.
Feel free to add me and I wish you the best!!!0 -
Hi...I'm on the second stage also. I hear ya when you say your tired of the protein shakes. I have bought 4 different kinds. I add peanut butter to the chocolate one, fresh fruit to the orange and banana ones . anything to make them more pleasant. I also eat alot of creamy soups. New england clam chowder is very good. Also schwans ham and cheese omlets are tasty and packed with protein.0

I was sleeved 10/02/2013, it was the best decision for me and I have no regrets at all. The first few weeks are kind of hard figuring out what you can have but think about it this way your stomache is like a babies stomache again you get to start over. So go through your liquid and soft stages just like a baby and then start introducing foods as your plan/doctor allows, some you will tolerate immediatly and some you will have to wait or may never want again. I am just now eating salads because it was too hard on my stomache for awhile and I finally get citrus again which makes me a happy lady. I also would like to say don't forget your excercise when the doctor clears you to do so it is very important and it makes me feel great to be able to do stuff I couldn't do before. Best of luck and if you would like to add me please do. Everyone needs friends and support in this journey.0
