Hey there!

I thank you for your care and time to post here so as to help me.I called my surgeon today and he said that he took about 60%.He first said ''a little bit more than 50%'' and I asked him to be more specific.He explained than that was a wise decision as I am not a typical case and if he would have taken more,I would have lost too much.

My problem is that I compared my food need and intake to yours and other research I made and I seem to eat much more,but thats normal as my stomach is bigger.

I feel some restriction and I definitely dont eat as before surgery but thats not what I expected.I also wanted to ask you what is normal to eat,Im only 3weeks post op.I have to say that everything goes down well in my case.I dont eat sweets,I only could not resist once but Im trying to stay away now from them.And also would eating fresh vegetables,fruits cause any problems or complications to my operation?

I have to say Im very thankful,You are a group of great people and simply the fact that you take time to read and care for somebody's situation its a great thing to me!

Best wishes !

If you search on here, you will find other plans, but this may help. I would imagine you will need to adjust portions based on your hunger level and goals: http://www.hopkinsbayview.org/bin/c/a/nutrition_sleeve.pdf

Ok, now I understand. 60% of your stomach removed compared to 80% of the stomach removed in my surgery. That does mean that the restriction in how much you eat will be less.

Keeping the carbs down is easier when you cut out the refined sugar and flour. I try to get all my carbs from fresh vegetables and a little fruit (one a day for me). I get most of my Protein from the whey Protein shakes and lean meat.

And I'm doing aerobic exercising to get my heart rate up and SWEAT!

I do want to be supportive to you. It's hard to lose weight.
