Hi all, it's the first time I've written in here & hoping someone will be able to help! I had my gastric sleeve surgery in July 2014. I weighed 252Ibs & now weigh 182Ibs & Im thrilled!! My issue is that I still can't stomach solid foods. I'm ok with mushy food like cottage pie, lasagne etc but I can not eat say chicken, lamb, beef or vegetables unless they've been minced. I thought I'd be beyond this by now & hoped to find some advice & guidance. Many thanks

Thanks everyone. It's really good to hear from people who have had the sleeve for longer. A lot of the diet advice online is only for the first 6 weeks do not helpful for me. I went to see my consultant who checked me over & all fine medically. He thinks it will just take time & to keep trying to introduce solids in to my diet slowly. I've now lost 84Ibs since pre op diet July 2014. I'm happy with that & never wanted to be 'skinny' so Id like to get to the maintaining stage soon. My family & friends get concerned so spend a lot of time reassuring them! I guess it's natural though ???? x

Thanks everyone for getting back to me. I'm booked in to see my consultant so let's see what happens x

Thanks everyone. I feel sick & I often vomit. It's interesting what you say about an emotional reaction. I wondered that myself as post op I had terrible acid reflux as I know many of you have had also & I was sick a lot.

Ok, thanks
