From speaking with people who are 3+ years the generally do saybthey can eat a little bit more. Maybe it's just the stomach relaxing or maybe they are just more comfortable with it and know what to eat . There seems to be a lot of debating going off some surgeons say it can stretch some say it cannot. I guess time will tell. I for sure am hoping it does. I would like to learn new ways of eating and new habits and over the years be able to eat slightly more (no where near pre op amounts) but I'd like to be able to treat myself to a burger or something one day lol! But I'm early on in and I am missing my comfort foods. Maybe this will change with time too and I will see food more as a fuel for my body rather than an activity or an emotional crutch. when you say 'if it does people are eating wrong' what do you mean? Do you mean people are constantly eating till they're super full and eventually stretching it? Or? im still really struggling with not being hungry and having to force feed myself everyday. I don't like it and I am hoping my hunger returns somewhat. I don't even want a cup of coffee in the morning yet which is getting me down as I love coffee! But I seem to be forcing myself to drink a small cup in the mornings :-(

If I drank my whole bottle of protein water, that would give me 40g of protein. But my NUT last time I saw her told me to only try drinking half a bottle each day. She really wants me to try getting in most of my protein through food. I eat yogurt every morning for breakfast, but that’s it. I don't know what to eat with it. I'm going to ask my NUT for suggestions when I see her next week. I don't like the texture of cottage cheese. I usually eat 3 times a day (every 4 hours) but I think I can stretch that out to 4 for now.

Hi everyone I'm almost 5 weeks out I got my sleeve on 2/1 and everything's been running smooth but for the past week I throw up with any protein shake and I've been having a hard time meeting my protein and fluids goals because I'm always so nauseous. Has anyone gone through this? Also this started one day when I had puréed chicken and I'm guessing I ate too fast so I threw up, but now I throw up everyday regardless of how slow I eat I've been regressing back to even thinner puréed foods I'm supposed start incorporating regular soft foods next week but I don't feel quite ready.

Maybe you're eating too much? I was sleeved the week before you, but I'm not on food yet... protein shakes and clear liquids for another 9 days.

Binging is always a bad idea. As is thinking you will never eat certain things again. There are some healthier items you can have at fast food places or eating in much smaller quantities. Some people have a burger without the bun. Or chili at Wendy's. Or grilled nuggets at Chick Fil A.

I made myself a list (4 restaurants) for my fiancé and I to go to one last time. I would stay away from fast food though..

I'm sure there is an explanation. I have not changed anything. Still working out, walking, same diet. It has be Water weight or something. I am not getting discouraged. I'm at 14 weeks and very happy with my results so far.

Thank you for the hope . I'm on day 3 and can't see the light

Hi. I started having rice after a year. I have a half a rice spoon with grilled chicken and vegetables or same amount in a soft taco. I was sleeved 5/29/15. HW 340 SW 320 CW 205.

Clinically, HFLC diets are used for non-WLS gastrectomy patients who need to avoid weight loss and ultimately regain unwanted loss and indeed, this does present one of the challenges for WLS patients who adopt this approach. During the early weight loss months (when we are relatively insensitive to diet due to the enforced restriction courtesy of our WLS,) many will proudly proclaim that they "do full fat everything". This works fine when we are largely consuming "condiment" amounts of fats early on, but often bites people when they carry that practice into maintenance and allow the higher calories to get away from them. It can be done for whatever reason you may want to do it, but you do need to be watchful of your overall consumption to avoid regain. Philosophically, in the absence of a specific medical condition that warrants it, I'm not a big fan of diets that are "low" or "high" of anything as that implies deficiency or excess. One might do a short term very high or low diet to counter an existing imbalance (such as treating insulin resistance with a very low carb diet,) and then moderating that extreme to a more balanced state as the body's chemistry corrects itself for the long term.
