Now The hard part begins.

I am basically fully recovered and I feel as if I can eat anything now...Which is scary. I no longer get pains when I eat. i am now able to eat a full 4 oz piece of fish or eat....I am mostly eating fish and chicken only for now. i scares me to think How easy I can slip off diet now...I hired a personal trainer they start next week and I have been walking and get only 5-7000 steps a day still trying to get to 10,000. I just get bored...I already cheated and ate some bread...I ate half a roll a couple days ago and actually gained a lbs from it the next day! I am back on track now thank god.

How long post op are you? I've read lots of people saying that this surgery is a tool and we must use it to assist in making the lifestyle that we need and desire. I am 8 weeks post op and although only small amounts.. I have found I can eat any kind of food. And that scares me too as I fear what I am capable of. I guess it's something we will have to work at every day. Good luck x

if you ate half a roll and gained weight that would have to be Water - not fat.

while eating bread in the immediate post op is not desirable - it is also not the end of the world. Pre op, would you have stopped at half a roll?

just move on and see how today goes. follow your plan, but you also have to live life. I don't know how restrictive your doctor is but I have a piece of oatmeal toast several mornings a week with my egg. it helps keep me regular. I no longer feel the desire to eat half the loaf. this is the miracle of my sleeve.

I haven't got to the stage where I can eat real food yet, but I don't think bread is cheating? My plan says it's fine to introduce bread (toasted) at 5-6 weeks....I have never been told that carbs are now bad or banned.

Yes, I am actually doing better now that I started work again...I do enjoy the fact that I get full so fast...I have just been eating chicken and fish with no extras lately or before work if I don't have time to cook I just have a shake...losing about 1-2 lbs a day.
