Hey Doxie,

Congrats on the 50lbs:-)

I am a newbie sleeved Nov 7th.

Just wondering what my future may have.

How is your eating now?

Does it hurt to eat?

Are you eating real food?

Thanks for any insight, good or bad

Hey Doxie,

I was sleeved 8/31 so I just made it I'm down 32 pounds since surgery. I wish it was more but I'm a slow loser.

For imabear,

I can eat almost everything, but in very small amounts. 1/2 a scrambled egg is plenty. If I eat too much I get a stuck feeling in my chest. Gotta take it sloooow when eating. I overate one time, talking while eating, and the pain was incredible! Took about 20 minutes for it to pass. I hope I never feel that again.

Hey, did you have surgery by the Dr Hanna in Las Vegas? He's an excellent surgeon.

Hey amykins! I think i've seen you around the forum. :-)

Imabear: i had it pretty easy. I was one of those whose doc did a long postop diet. It was about a month before I ate solid food. So when I did, I was ready. I've never overeaten, have never hurt my tummy or sleeve. I do eat something every 2-3 hours bcs I get hungry. And I am back to eating my pre-surgery pace. It doesn't take me long to eat.

The only issue l had was 6 weeks post-op my gallbladder had to come out. That slowed down my weight loss a bit bcs I couldn't exercise.

It's a great life, being a sleever.
