I will say it does feel good to be satisfied with one. I swear I could inhale them non stop with a decent supply of Dos Equis.

Extremely happy to hear someone far out was able to eat at least one taco!

Glad you asked this. I worry constantly about never being able to eat more than just two bites for the rest of my life. Moderation is fine, but just a couple of bites forever seems extreme to me - -not that I want to go carb crazy, but want to be reassured that I'll be able to indulge every now and then. I'm still on liquids too, but I have a follow up on the 13th and should be introducing purées after that.

Early on chicken was a little tricky. But after the 3-4 month mark I eat anything and everything! Hence the name sleeve of steel!

I have not... Let me say it again....have not ever regretted this surgery! Type 2 diabetes gone! High blood pressure gone! From size 24 to size 16 and I am 3 months out on the 26th. I am still losing. My swelling was gone by 6 weeks. I feel good about myself, some friends were supportive and those who where not or who where not supportive of my choices I chose not to deal with or i told them to mind their own business. last thing I needed was negativity. Do what your nutrition and surgical team tell you to the best of your ability. It may be challenging at first. But as your body heals it will get better.Learn and practice eating slower. The hardest thing I had to get used to is that I had to eat slower than others. If you eat too fast you end up taking in too much food and may throw it up. You'll learn those I'm full signals quite quickly. I remember when I could go to Red lobster and eat a whole plate of shrimps now just a little and I am full. I managed to nibble off hubby's plate and save enough money for a cruise to Jamaica. Stay positive..keep ya head on straight. Keep haters at a distance, follow your doctors nutrition guide..and exercise. You got this.
