bigfoot213 replied to patkaye's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had the same problem but my doctor said that the sleeve is like a roll a coaster ride it keeps going down but in spurts have gone a week nothing then in 3 days 8 pounds in the three months since surgery i have lost 62 pounds just not smoothly -
It has been the same for me example i go to subway to get wife a sandwich I see there spicey Italin never had a desire to even try it now every time I go there for her i am tempted to get one big time. But i have resisted so far and its happened with other foods too

Day 2 Post Op, Food
bigfoot213 replied to Misstxdiva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
At least your broth looks ready to eat my first meal looked like your tray but i got a hot bowl of water the dry mix was hidden i looked at that bowl and thought i know it was a clear liquid diet but a bowl of hot water and a spoon this is silly. But hang in there it gets better and easyer as time goes on been 3 months now for me -
Progressing To The Next Food Phase - What To Expect?
bigfoot213 replied to 4ALongerLife's topic in Food and Nutrition
I guess each doctor has his or hers own sch I had my surgery 10 weeks ago but i only had to stay on liquid diet for 2 weeks then puree diet but even then it was only the meats that i had to puree Vegtables as long as fully cooked could be eaten as is. There are a number of diets for the sleeve surgery on the net. but I just ignored them and stayed with the one the dietian the doctor assigned me gave out now almost 11 weeks out and eating normal type food now i still have not touched carbs and the 60 lbs i lost have given me complete freedom form insulin (YEA) still today my tummy feels tight as i eat but it also tells me ok that enough Just listen to that tight feeling and stop -
