"Just because you can doesn't mean you should" Say that 20 times before a meal lol. It helped me!

What are you eating? Do you stick to the guidelines your team set for you? Do you have a NUT you can talk to about this? are you spreading your meals out or grazing all day? How is your Fluid intake?

Congratulations on the surgery. :)

I am 4 weeks out and am allowed anything basically except raw vegetables. I can eat chicken and turkey no problem. Dr said I can start raw nuts too

I can eat more than I did a week ago but know I have to limit myself.

Yesterday I made turkey chili and ate a few extra bites I shouldn't have. I was full and miserable. Lesson learned!

Thanks good to know this is normal,,, when I say I feel I can eat anything ,,, I'm really only eating soft foods and trying some meats now I can eat 1or2 more bits than what I had been able to just days before. getting started back on real food has been making me nervous that's why I asked is it normal.

Some people don't have eating problems, I asked my surgeon about that, coz I belong to that group too and he told me it somehow related to shape of a sleeve.

I worried, coz I read people like 6 month out of op and not able to eat meat or fish, but I'm 3 weeks out and already easily swallow fish and beef (little amounts), never vomited and experienced nausea =)

Guess we are just lucky :)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
