Hi,for some reason today I ate two packets of maple brown sugar oatmeal for dinner. In the morning I had 4 oz of protein shake and three hours later, another 4 oz of protein shake. Three hours after that, I had 2oz of cheese and one tsp of peanut butter. Could it be I have not been eating enough in terms of how much you can eat with a sleeve. Anyway, I'm really concern. Is this normal? I am almost 4 weeks post surgery. Please give me your advice. Thank you, Lucy

Hello, I'm 10 days out my gastric sleeve surgery... I was out of the hospital the next day. Everything has been great...but I am soooo concern that I am not experiencing what others told me they experienced and that I might be able to consume more food than I thought I really could. I have been drinking only Protein shakes about 2 a day, 14oz each. This morning I was able to drink about 6 oz in sitting!!! I also drink lots of Water but wait a few minutes (20-30 minutes after any prior Protein Shakes, food or water) ... Am I drinking too much at a time? Also, I made black bean Soup (liquified/purée) and was able to drink 2oz or so. I think I could have drank more but didn't because I don't think I'm supposed to. Lastly, I had this crazy craving to eat fresh mozzarella cheese and had about 3 slices throughout the whole day...but that's all I had yesterday besides one 14oz of Protein shake. Please advise me! Respectfully, Lucy

Everyone has been so helpful and this is so reassuring!

Ohhh. Ok. How yogurt...what type of yogurt can I have? I love yo plait Greek o fat but instructions say no fruit at the bottom which ones can I buy?

Thank you sooooo much everyone!!!! I gave up the cheese. I honestly feel that I can stay on full liquid diet until it's time to go for my first visit 8/12. The document I was given says to be on full liquids for one week post op and then I can move to soft foods...but I just rather wait. This is all very strAnge to me because I'm going from a huge plate to a salad dressing Applebee's bowl lol.

Thank you Fran. I'll discontinue the cheese. But do you think that I'm drinking too much in one sitting?
