Seasoned sleepers

Sleevers who are at goal:

Do you eat other things besides Protein? I am six weeks out and eat mostly protein. I am losing slowly. I hope one day I can eat a meal with meat, veg, and starch. Does this happen at goal?

All the research I did on the sleeve before I had it and still did not realize it was the Atkins diet but with a lot less food. I think when I go to the dr this week I will be released to all food. I want a salad, a piece of apple not in that order.

Any advise?

Yes, I eat veggies and fruit. Protein first, though. What I don't eat is high sugar things. Those things make me feel terrible, heart racing and nauseous. I can eat Cereal now, but not much.

Yes, I now include more carbs. I eat sandwiches a lot, on whole grain breads lightly toasted. I eat granole with milk for Breakfast, and other whole grain Snacks during the day. I eat ice cream for dessert almost every day!! I still don't eat much fruit, for some reason it doesn't sit well.

I had to add more carbs to stop losing weight, believe it or not. I was getting over 100 grams of Protein daily before reaching goal. Now I get about 80. I eat about 2100 calories a day to maintain. That is way more food than I ever thought I would get post-sleeve. Sometimes I have to work at getting that many calories.
