Daily Sleeve Food Diaries - please add yours!

If you are joining this thread please say at the beginning of each post how many weeks (or months/years?!) you are post-op and what stage you are on if not on "normal" textures.

Anyone fancy contributing to a daily sleeve food diary? I see there is one on here but it seems to have lost momentum

As there are a few people on here with a sleeve now, or due to have one soon, I think it would be a really useful thread. Unless I am in a minority (of one) again! Any takers? x x x

I am having my sleeve done 7th May and ill sure be happy to contribute a daily food diary, x

I'm up for it!

That would be really useful. Thanks Samsara. It would be great to get your ideas and at what stage you can have what x

Count me in post op from 21st May!

1 cup pressed apple juice
1 small glass strawberry milk
1 tomato cup a soup

I've not had a good day, busy at work (I'm a chef) and didn't get a chance to eat properly! Tomorrow won't be much better :/

Thank you for this thread! It makes me see what I'm doing right and wrong! lol

I missed a meal today. I'm still having to force myself to eat and drink so it all feels like a chore at the moment! I'm assuming it gets easier...?!

I'm 8 months down and I don't get half the liquids in me that I should. I find it very hard. I have never been a big drinker anyway which doesn't help.

I've never been a big drinker either - I find the liquids side a challenge, for sure. It seems relentless and it's constantly making me feel sick! :jelous:
