Hey, I'm 8 weeks post surgery down 43 lbs., 30 lbs since surgery. I'm really hungry too. but I think 15lbs a month is good. I think you are doing fine..

Good Job.

sorry, not having that problem.

ok, I'm having a time with the protein and the amount of food I can take in. The doctor said I can have a salad but I just can't chew it enough that it won't get stuck. I'm going to wait a little longer. I think I have been pushing the food thing a little fast. I might go back a bit to soup. I ate salmon and spaggetti squash, and of course no matter how much I chew, it sits heavy it my chest.

@rdawson, When did you have your surgery?

@ICandothis Are you eating Raw now and how far out are you (post-op)?

@ Icandothis, are you eating raw foods now and how far out are you post-op?

I'm now 3 weeks post op and I still can't get down anything with any substance. I might have to get a swallow study done.

Thank You, I needed that info too.

Thank You Everybody for sharing. @ Tony, I saw your profile, Great Job. What is you walking program?

Hey Everybody, I'm a little concerned, hopefully you all out there can answer some more questions. I am now 8 days post op and I am hungry. The swelling I was experiencing has seem to subside but now I feel like my sleeve is not as small as I hope. I drank a protein drink and I did not feel full. I ate 1 cup of split pea soup, 1 SF pudding and 1 SF popcicle and I still feel like I can eat. I thought after the sleeve it was suppose to take away your appetite. Is it just in my head. Please share Your experiences.

I made it home Yesterday. I was sleeved 9/11 and having some heartburn issues, however I'm doing better. Good Luck to all the ones coming up.

I am so glad to hear your progress, I'm just 5 days post op and heartburn is the worst for me, You give me hope that it will get better. Keep up the good work.

The same with my scale. I bought the Biggest Loser scale, which suppose to have a memory of up to 10 people and it tells you your BMI and the amount of cals. needed to maintain your weight. If I move it thoughout my house I can get a 10lb difference. The scale is not the most reliable tool.
