I was not allowed eggs till week 5.

I did not know people even eat 8 ounces a year out that is intresting. what food are you eating? can you eat 8 ounce of meat?

Hi how are you doing? Did your surgeon tell you to eat 8 ounces in one sitting? I thought most people were at 4 ounce per sittin vary intresting how plans vary.

I . need to remember to count lol i just try to chew but cant be bothered to count lol

You will do great, its very exciting, i loved reading about others when i was waiting to do mine!

I really need a nap after i eat tooo!

Wow that is awsome you have an amazing plan! thanks for outlining what you do! I am going to focus on my water intake today!

I would not worry, make sure you are getting enough water. You are still healing/inflamation etc.

My surgeon said 20 minutes before and after.- 7 weeks out.

What are you eating? Are you eating more? How much are you gaining?

i was starving alot at first, tummy noices everything but it is part of the healing process, it does settle.

Hi all, those on the liquid stage , I would not be worried yet, you are still healing, when moving onto protein/solids you really will feel full, liquids I can have 4 ounces. Meat 1 or 2 ounces. Some foods allow you to eat more.

Lets you eat anything and you have no restriction? Can I ask what you are eating, i am 7 weeks post, is this the case if you eat just protein? so you can eat unlimited about of steak for example?

Not a problem Any other questions, I am happy to answer bare in mind I am not that far in , surgery was 4th July

Its honestly mind blowing , the difference from liquids then purees then normal food, Some things make you fuller faster like meat and some things give you extra wiggle room lol Like at the restaurant I wanted abit more time to not get full so I had half a tomatoe before taking a bite of my meat lol ( You are supposed to do protien first but yeah i enjoyed myself)

Its one of those things we all think we should be losing faster I think! I need to drink more water as I think this is slowing my loss! I barely drank while I was away!

I WISH!! HAHA no my definition of a holiday is a hotel 2 hours away It did have a lovely beach and only rained on the last day so I cant complain haha! My kids loved the rides! I loved the 3 pieces of zuckini fries I had been dreaming about since the last time I went there, I hated wasting them, we ordered to the room, and I even saved the left over zuchinis till the next day and realised, I better throw them away lol. That was hard! I used to finnish two bowls when I come here lol.

Have a good walk! its 1.35am here, I should cconsider sleeping at some point lol

That sounds super healthy!! I was eating fast to start but the chest pain taught me a lesson lol. Its so good you can eat that amount comfertably , sometimes i am eating and just start to enjoy the flavor and then its already time to stop lol. I love love steak but two bites I am full , its soooo yummy!

That sounds really good! I just got home today have been on holiday, so at the hotel . i had the yellow bit of one egg lol. skipped lunch because i was busy and had like a 2 ounce beef pattie for dinner, i barely even rememeber what i eat usually , i ate better yesturday . i had duck and spinnach for my lunch yesturday at the hotel lol. I hope you feel better!

No, I did not.. I am 6 week posts. Stuffing myself with junk(Which would be my food funeral lol) before starting the preop diet would have been a nightmare for me .

Goodluck! Dont eat anything small if your meant to be on liquid, it will be here before you know it

That makes sense, sometimes our bodies need more. I was more curious of if this was the plan from her surgeon what he would have her on at say 3 months post? I was just curious lol I know all plans seem to vary considerably At 4 weeks puree food was so gross to me I barely ate anything. I am eating more on normal food than when I was on puree , baby food stage was a no go for me lol What did you eat today? Its very odd that post sleeve I want to know what everyone is eating lol.

You are doing amazing We all make tweaks along the way, I have to keep reminding myself to eat which I never imagined , I feel really lazy, and dont feel like cooking to just be able to eat a few bites lol but i am going to try to make new things lol

There is a different between a woman at 4 weeks hitting 1000 and a man further along hitting 1000 though.. She also said she was not losing so that amount I was thinking may not be suitable, but said if that is what her surgeon advised then great. I dont think I mentioned anything about you or saying you should minimize calories, i just asked pit a question. But yes I am fully aware that calories vary depending on the individual /if they work out , size etc, I just Could not fathom 1000 at 4 weeks, for me hence why I wondered what she was having. But I fully took into consideration that there are many variables. lol. And your doing great, alot of us give into cravings every now and again, we are all human! Keep at it
