Yes...I share the same issues...i was sleeved on 8-17-12...have lost 56# and many inches...to maintain the weight loss i have not been counting calories but increasing my fluids....when i eat too fast i phlegm up...so i would say we are blessed with little sleeves and keep learning how to care for them...some days u can eat and some i get reminded real quick to stick with fluids...soups etc.
Take care
