How did it go? I had my sleeve August 22nd of 2016. I was 200 5'3 now I'm 130lbs. I still can't eat a lot of foods though, still on Soups and really soft stuff. If I do try to eat solids I throw it up

Sleeved 2/19/17 5"3 SW 220 CW 183.6 goal between 140 and 150.
I'm just a little past 3 months post-op. I have had absolutely no nausea or vomiting. I'm a BIG wimp and dreaded surgery. I had my gallbladder out 2 yrs prior sleeve surgery. I was in horrible pain for 2 wks. I just knew this surgery was going to be worse than that. Nope, I was so wrong. I've transitioned dietary phases with no problems. Spinach was a little iffy first time I tried it. I'm eating what I want. That does not include breads, Pasta or rice. Not that I can't eat them, I choose not to eat them because of their nutritional value. My plan does not allow any fruits till 6 months out. Got to have protien:) I'm currently eating 600-800 calories a day.
