Stacy P 7 Posted July 31, 2012 Are you chewing really well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deb_fox 42 Posted July 31, 2012 I had my sleeve on June 11th. Are you taking 1/2 hour to eat your meals? I haven't had any issues at all with food. I was warned to eat very slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grammy Pammy 1 Posted July 31, 2012 I'm eating slow, but maybe not slow enough, thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely start being more aware and eat slower. Love your bars that show weight loss! How do you do that??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuckles 28 Posted July 31, 2012 Remember, no liquids 30 min before, 30 min during and 30 min after a meal. Also remember to stop eating after 10 min, take a 10 min break and then resume eating during your 30 min meal time. Chew till everything liquifies in your mouth.

tallysfunny 363 Posted August 2, 2012 Maybe the food is too salt? Or processed. Your body is healing and incredibly sensitive. It could be sensitive to the hormones and preservatives in those foods. Could you try less processed foods? Or maybe go back on a modified puréed and solid food diet. At least with the puréed you get something in ya! Just my thoughts.

theoldmusicbox 399 Posted August 2, 2012 You have 10-20 oz of liquid listed each day? Please tell me you are getting more than that in a day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ssilian 67 Posted August 3, 2012 I am 7 weeks out. My suggestion is to go back to soft foods or just a Protein Shake diet for a bit. No hotdogs or ham. Try eggs, fish, refried Beans -- high Protein but soft. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
