Is this normal?

[A_BetterMe 1]

I'm five weeks out and honestly I can eat or drink whatever I want as long as I eat slow and small portions .... Is my sleeve working ?

Sounds like you're working it perfectly... eating slow and small portions. I honestly never had trouble with anything unless I ate too fast or over eat.

Sounds like you're one of the lucky ones and you're afraid it's too good to be true. Don't worry, be happy.

_{I am now 3 1/2 months out and honestly I never had trouble with anything I ate. I feel like I have to be extra diligent with what I eat and how much because I feel like I could overdo very easily. I weigh and log everything that goes in my mouth for that reason. The up side is I have no fear of trying new exciting foods because nothing bothers my ironclad sleeve.}

I'm 6 weeks out and in the same boat as you- but I was banded before and could eat anything, as long as it was slow. My portion size has decreased a lot with the sleeve. I haven't tried any fried foods, don't plan to either, nor have I tried any Desserts but I wouldn't be surprised if I don't have any issues with that either. Those will be saved for special occasions.
