JSoc 9 Posted September 8, 2012 Hi all, I am 7 days out. Here is what I ate today: Breakfast 12 ounce Protein shake snack 32 ounces of Water lunch 12 ounce Protein Shake Snack 2 laughing cow cheese wedges & 16 ounces of Water dinner 2 ounces puréed turkey & 1 tblspn of retried Beans with a dash of melted cheese Snack 2 laughing cow cheese wedges & 16 ounces of water Total Calories 620 Total Protein 72 g Total Carbs 35 g Total Water 64 ounces (Dothe shakes count as liquid too?) I felt full after dinner. However, Does this seem like too much for 7 days out? Should I worry about having an oversized sleeve? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

on the way to the new me 18 Posted September 8, 2012 I was instructed to be on Clear Liquids the week after and full liquids the week after. What you are eating is the Muskie diet normally eaten on week 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nate 292 Posted September 8, 2012 that doesnt seem like alot over the course of an entire day. As long as you're not feeling major restriction in your stomach or regurging what you eat because you're overfilling yourself you should be just fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Worm 129 Posted September 8, 2012 Shouldn't be on solid foods at 7 days out..but if you are tolerating them with no issues it might be ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deekaspor 89 Posted September 8, 2012 I was not eating solids at 7 days, just liquids. Just make sure you follow the doctors orders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigmachik 403 Posted September 8, 2012 To answer your question about whether you have an oversized sleeve, I doubt it. When I was still eating purees and very soft foods like cheese wedges it seemed like I could eat quite a bit before the restriction was felt. However, when you get on solid foods you will notice it very quickly. Also in the first few weeks your stomach is kind of numb both because of the trauma and swelling and also because a lot of the nerves were cut during the surgery. When my tummy was still numb I could eat more without discomfort than I can now at nine weeks out because I feel everything now. Don't worry, I think you will find everything working as it should be. 3 Shubox, Avillias and Frza reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSoc 9 Posted September 8, 2012 Thanks Enigmachik... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeaveItToSleever 80 Posted September 8, 2012 That sounds very good. It's not too much food, and it's not the wrong kind of food if your doctor said it's okay. I was okayed to eat soft foods very early too- that part is between you and your doctor. But, Water is not a snack. It's water. But everything counts toward your water intake, including you shakes, because everything they contain mostly water. 2 enigmachik and BKMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
