I had my surgery on July 24 th so I'm feeling good and today I started exercising...I've been feeling so good that I've been eating soft food and protein... I only take a few bites and I know I may not be ready for it but I'm doing good otherwise....I'm listening to my body and eating slow and some things are uncomfortable to eat so I stop immediately....I'm on the third week of recovery.... I'm trusting my body will tell me otherwise RIGHT?

Just don't over due it. I am almost 90 days out and they still consider my surgery new.

I am doing what you do. my downfall is chewing, if i can focus on chewing well, my body is fine, if i chew almost well enough, i feel it.

so far this has been the biggest challenge, chew and go slow.

It takes 3 months for the sleeve to heal....Longer for the incisions....Just go slow K....Don't want to do any damage.

yes your very correct... I guess I needed to hear it from other people in the same boat.... I'm just ready to get started and I feel ready but I don't want to wreck this privilege.... sounds like I need to get my act together and reign it in!

Try to follow whatever guidelines your surgeon set, and always listen to your body. It's hard to unlearn bad habits we didn't really realize prior to surgery. I was a fast eater - I'd overfill my sleeve before the new full signals had time to register. Go slow and steady and definitely do what you were advised to do and you'll be fine.
