At the soft foods stage everything going well, but not sure I'm eating enough, I only eat about 3-4 teaspoons of food at each meal. I try to eat every 3 hours. What amounts should I be eating at each meal. I usually stop because I feel a little reflux or I start light belching. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Had a egg for breakfast yesterday and have yogurt for lunch and cantaloupe for snack time and ended the meals with mash potatoes! Was only able to eat about 3 teaspoons each time, but oh my! Really embracing this new adventure. Anybody know when I will be able to start light exercise? Surprisingly I do feel a little more tired, but it's the new body adjusting to a new change. I'm still going to enjoy and appreciate this new journey! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

The 30 minute wait will stop you from pushing you Protein calories straight out therefore getting your body no benefits! You will now eating small amounts and your body needs to absorb digest and feed you. If your drinking along with your food because its such a small amount it needs at least 30 minutes to feed your body before it's pushed from your sleeve . I started training myself to wait 30 minutes during pre-op so it becomes natural. Soon it will be standard or normal to you too. Relax give it time it will happen.

I'm going back to work today and I feel great so far. Took a little longer to dress and get ready but I did it. Not back to driving yet so my daughter will drop me off and hubby will pick me up. Getting ready to try my liquid Breakfast I'm back on liquids for 2 weeks! Oh boy just remembered today marks my 1 week post op! They said everyday would be better and so far that has been the case! No problems since day 1 where I had vomiting right after surgery so I spent an extra day in the hospital, but I've been better each day since. Well time to start on breakfast and than off to work. I will update you on how it goes! Wish me luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It was good! I think it was easier to get my drinks in because I didn't have time to be concerned about getting enough. It ended up that I was drinking more because I wasn't thinking about it. Did take a cat nap when I got home. So proud of me! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Welcome Paula I was sleeved on November 21st also. I cooked Thanksgiving dinner and wasn't even tempted. Trying to get this hydration thing under control, able to drink more about a bottle and a half of plain Water and about 16 oz of instant Breakfast. Working on another bottle of water and 8 more ounces of instant breakfast by Wednesday when I go in for post op visit. So hang in there so we can get to where we want to go! Good luck and congrats.
