Sleeve Vet Diets

Before I say what I ate today I will say first that what I can eat at 16 months post op is nothing like what I was able to eat when I was at your present stage of recovery/progress.

I am on vacation on the outer banks of NC. I have 20 oz Water while I move about in the am waking up. I make coffee and have 16-20 oz depending on the cup I've got with me. I generally do a little light exercise like stretching or walking and then have 2 scrambled eggs, whole eggs with cheese and half and half with 1 slice of toast. I then don't eat for 3-4 hours when I have a greek yogurt and a Protein or granola bar. 2-3 hours later I have a lunch meat sandwich that I might or might not finish. I then don't eat till dinner which is usually fish, chicken or steak in some fashion with non starchy veggies. Sometimes for desert I have fruit but if I've been a good exerciser I might have 2-3 fig newtons with milk. Now I know there are some people on this site that will assail what I eat but my nutritionist and doc love my numbers and my weight loss. I have plateaued higher than I want to however I've also added 10 lbs of muscle in the last 8 months and feel fantastic. I weigh every 2-3 days and never allow more than a 2 lb gain and am still losing about a pound every month or so.

At your stage I was eating very , very little and it was ok. I couldn't eat much then or it hurt. I now only hurt if I'm not paying attention. Cake and Cookies I never seem to overeat, but veggies? they just taste great and it's taken the last 3 months to figure out that I still need to portion out an amount of them and go very slowly while eating so I don't feel full. All in all it's a good thing. I never used to eat this much protein or veggies but I do now. Hope it helps.

I will be 3 years out in Dec. I eat about the same as other slender women. Portion Control and avoiding junky stuff most (not all) of the time.
