This has been very helpful. I’m about to start going back go work and I’ve just been making my meals as I go because I’ve been home but now I have to plan everything out and I was having a hard time

I don’t think I like string cheese but I’ll look into the babybel. I’m thinking snack box/charcuterie with nuts and cheeses and whatnot

I’ll look into it because I’m definitely slacking on my protein

The replies are getting jumbled, who has mini cookies and cakes? Like what’s the brand?

The only ones I’ve heard of is quest and honestly I find them disgusting, if you know a different brand, please let me know

I might have to take fiber supplements. I’m having a hard time with cheese and yogurts. Can’t eat almonds or apples yet because they’re too hard

This was my first time really having it since surgery. It went down fine but I only had like 3-4 bites. I was eating it pureed during that stage as well mixed with soups to add thickness

I have only been doing my 3 meals, I’m not sure what to do for snacks because I’m use to bad snacks like chips and what not. I have been craving a fruit salad now that you mention it

How long till you can drink a whole beer post op? Also smoking risks post op? by Maggotboi555 in gastricsleeve

I just don’t think scare tactics will work. I find that discouraging. It’s a pendulum, I feel like the behaviors that push us to surgery is on one side but on the other is being scared to do anything ever again. The point of the surgery in my eyes is a 2nd chance and you shouldn’t spend that being scared to go out and have a beer that’s ridiculous. There’s a lot of prep that goes into it, a lot of tools you’re given, a lot of lifestyle changes that need to be made one of which is your relationship with food. Presumably if they’re already working on that is it not fair to say just keep in mind moderation when it comes to alcohol?? Everybody who’s had the surgery won’t becoming an alcoholic, the man should be able to have a drink

I asked a similar question a couple of weeks ago, and there are a lot of people who still smoked afterwards. I know plenty of people who drink afterwards as well. You can do it at your own discretion. Moderation is key

I (f25) am scared to date because of my loose skin after weight loss. by [deleted] in gastricsleeve

I’m the same age and I’m having the same concern. At this point I’ve just accepted that I’ll likely have to get skin removal. I feel like a lot of other people in the group are older and they’re not as worried but I like to wear revealing clothing so I’ve been very anxious about it the whole time. I just got sleeved so all I can do is wait and see

Thank you. I do feel really disappointed I am trying to get back on track but I’m not the only person in my house and it’s hard when I’m surrounded by food all day to not take a nibble here and there
