Am I Doing This Right?

[Wheatie65 2]

I'm also a sept.24th sleevers.I am also on softs. I fell like my stomach is smaller when I eat certain things. Do you notice a difference when you eat different things? Are u eating cheese? Just asking.

Just continue doing what you are doing...remember your body just had a major shock and is in the healing mode too...I experienced my weight not moving for a few days as well. Just follow your doctors instructions for eating and the weight will start to fall off. Hang in there. Take it one day at a time.

I'm not very far ahead of you, but a lot of people have said that you won't feel "real" restriction until you start on solids. I'll be interested to hear what everyone has to say. Sounds like you're doing fine!

Wats considered soft food

You are doing great! I do have a suggestion for you though. Please put the scale away, hide it in the closest if you must! It is only going to cause you stress. It is very inconsistent. If you haven't measured yourself yet, this would be a good time to do it. That is going to be the best tool for measuring your weight loss. Believe me, your stomach is 85% smaller. You will feel it when you start eating softer and regular foods later on out. CONGRATS!

Softer foods are sf pudding, Jello, yogurt...... anything that is mushie.

Since you are on soft foods, those soft foods are still sliding right on through. I wasn't able to feel restriction until I was eating full protein...like chicken chunks, so I measured everything I ate. Of course I could only eat a few bites over a long period.

Be confident that you are sleeved. You are healing still and things will change as you heal. This is a learning phase. Adjust and learn to be flexible.

Hugs...I love my sleeve and have no regrets.
