Is that restriction normal or does it depend on size of the sleeve? My doctor is going with a 40. I start my liver shrinking diet tomorrow. I loss almost 12 lbs last time.

I’m unsure if it’s normal been questioning it myself. However I had 90% of my stomach removed. Regretting that amount but my surgeon was persistent.

I’m approaching 6 weeks post op and the restriction is tough. Could barely drink 2oz of anything. Have to wait 3-4 minutes between sips or bites. Weak tired all the time and hungry but no room for food!!

Thanks for all your replies I was feeling as my weightloss wasn’t significant, I’m anxious to have a solid meal my surgeon had me on a 4week post op liquid diet and now I can move onto 2 weeks of puree then 2 week of soft food, his diet style seems strict and I’m just loosing motivation over here.. really trying though. Having an extremely difficult time meeting Protein and liquid goals, it’s so much for one day when my stomach can only handle 2oz at a time!!

Just hoping to connect with fellow gastric sleeve patients and hopefully understand and learn from each other!

Hi I’m currently 1 month post op and kinda struggling, 18 pounds down since surgery day, wondering how many pounds anyone else is down after about a month post op gastric sleeve!
