I'm a week out of surgery and I have to set the timer on my phone for 15 minute intervals, so I don't forget to eat. Totally different experience for me. I'm use to chewing my toenails, so I won't eat. I'm only a week out, so not an expert at all, but don't worry about the eating. It won't be a dilemma. Your new stomach will give you the big "NO", if you want to overeat.

Howdy, I had the sleeve on July 2nd, 2014. I'm glad you started this. Yesterday, I thought I was up to a walk and went to the mall. Not a good choice. I felt dizzy and didn't enjoy at all. I feel tight and bloated. I know our recoveries will all be different. However, I have lost ten pounds or 20, if I count the post surgery pounds. Tomorrow will be the one week mark. I'm thrilled to have that behind me. I'm doing what my doctor told me to do religiously. If he told me to pick my nose ten times a day, I'm sure I'd be doing that to. Getting down all the Protein and Water is a challenge, but it helped with the feeling of a bit of nausea I felt this morning. Glad that is over. Funny thing, my sister-in-law and good friend were with me during the day of surgery. They told me later how the doctor came out and spoke to them after the surgery. They are not in our world. He complimented how great my liver looked and said it was one of the best he'd seen. I explained later that he was telling them that I was a good girl in the pre-op stage. :-)
