Sheryl, my surgery was 1/15/18. I just had my one month followup visit and I asked them the same thing. Both the dietician and Physician's Asst. told me the same thing. I was eating too fast. The size of bites all sleeve patients should be eating is a baby spoon size. Also, they said to wait 90 seconds to two minutes between bites. This helps prevent pain and also makes you feel fuller quicker.

Of course follow what your surgeon says but mine says I shouldn't eat more than a half cup of food at a time. the meat off 5 wings is probably more than half a cup. Be careful.

Thank You!

Just joined this forum! So far it looks great. Tomorrow (Mon, 1/29) will be my 2 week mark post-op. I stopped losing weight (was losing while on liquid only) once I started eating pureed food on day 8 post-op. When will I actually start losing weight?
