WHAT ARE YOU HAVING FOR DINNER TONIGHT? Tell us! And how long is it since your sleeve?

First topic message reminder :

I thought this would be a good thread to give early sleevers some hope that eventually life will be normal again!

I am seven months and 3 weeks out, and tonight I am munching on melted cheese and ham on toast with relish (one piece is all I can manage). I might have a bowl (small) of ice cream in an hour if I get peckish later!

Left over lamb shank meat, mashed potatoes and a couple of carrot sticks, 3/4 cup all up. 11 weeks out.had a few squares of chocolate later on.

10 weeks - one slice homemade pizza (base inclusive). Comfortably full.

3.5months out- 1chicken breast strip and a few sweet potatoe chips cooked in my convection oven..

4 mini chicken Kievs (crumbs peeled off). Yoghurt with fresh blueberries.

5 or 6 bites of meat off a slow cooked lamb shank, homemade gravy and a couple of spoons mash. 5 squares choc for dessert

Minestra, a couple of parmesan crisps and one small slice of garlic bread witha fresh fig to follow.

7 weeks out.

Tassal salmon Asian style sweet chilli (95g tin) - in lettuce cups ala Sang Choy Bow. 155cals, 9g protein. It was excellent and filling, and made a nice change from tuna.

Snacks: edamame - 20beans = 12gms = 30cals

Fillet of freshly caught Elephant fish - yummo. 2 tbsp of spicy guacamole.

A handful of cherries and some raspberries for supper

I was sleeved on the 1/11/11.
For dinner I had chicken curry and rice. About 1/2 a slow cooked chicken thigh fillet and about 3 or 4 tablespoons of rice and a couple of beans. I couldn't quite finish all the rice, so tempted but learning it is soo not worth it to go that extra spoonful or 2.

Sleeved 2 months ago

Had 2 lamb cutlets with gravy and salad with no dressing ........

But was naughty at desert time with 3 strawberries , half a banana sliced ,melted chocolate and cream ........

I was sleeved 7 months ago...

60g of chicken breast sprinkled with Moroccan seasoning
Steamed bok choy & 1/2 cup of cous cous.
T'was yummy!

Finally had my first piece of steak for dinner ! Scotch fillet, about 50g. Delicious ! Sliced mushrooms, and a spoonful of corn, too.

2 months out.

Potato and cheese may be a bit heavy on a tummy that is only 5 days post op. I know every surgeon has different guidelines to follow but I wasn't allowed anything but fluids for the first 2 weeks. Maybe try something a little lighter like a soup. There is a lot of healing going on in our tummies and not putting pressure on the staple line is the key. Hope this helps and you have no more dashes to the toilet.

5 months out..

I had 4 tiny bite fulls of BBQ chicken & 2 tsps of potato bake & couldn't run to the loo quick enough.

:(

Gummy shark fillet -BBQ served on a bed of spinach drizzled in lemon juice - hot fish wilted the spinach. 3 tbsp of homemade guacamole.

I had a small serve of homemade spaghetti bolognese, less than a cup. It was yum, if I do say so myself. I was sleeved 1/11/11

I'm on day 2 opti so had ratattoulie - which I had never had before...dunno why its so simple to make. It was so nice and of course and opti shake.

Hi everyone,

Do you get hungry between meals?

As this is where I struggle, the most,

I have a band and still get hungry lots. Is the sleeve better this way. I hope to get the sleeve soon, but only in the beginning stages.

I have read a lot of posts and everyone is really inspiring me.

To be honest I am scared I will fail again. As I never lost a lot with the band. I don't regret it but.......................

Please do not think I am being a kiljoy as I want to get healthy and slimmer. I think this time having a forum will help me.

I would love to meet some people whom have had it done. When I had my band over 10 years ago we had a support group but I was not getting the results like the other people, so I stopped going to it.

I have an appointment to see my specialist on the 25th and he suggested the sleeve to me last week, my hubby is behind me and my son.

Kind regards,

Short Chick

I had a hamburger without the bun - homemade with meat pattie, egg, Low fat cheese slice, beetroot, tomato, cucumber, fried onions and a small dollop of mayonnaise.

I had a whole fish and salad wrap over 2 servings (2 hours apart), 2.5 months out.

I had roast lamb for dinner tonight.. Had 2 tiny strips of lamb in gravy, 2 pieces of sweet potato (probably the size of a 10c piece each lol), and some beans.

5 months out.. And possibly the largest meal I've had in a long time!

Tonight I had not quite 1/2 a teriyaki chicken steak (fillet) from Lenards with about 3 tablespoons of mushroom and zuchini lightly fried with garlic. Of course all smothered in lashings of gravy. Almost 5 months out.
