Depends on what I'm eating, honestly. 2~4 ounces usually. But if it's greek yogurt, I can eat a solid 5 and be hungry in an hour.

I'm so jealous. I want a recipe! haha

Thanks! Hopefully the first stuff is answered. Thanks

Eh, I'd like to see some research that supports this.

You have a day. I'm sure you'd be fine blowing it off Monday and then going back to it Tuesday following it to the T. After all, that's already the doctor's orders.

I'm not sure how possible that would be. Isn't that part of the stomach cut away?

I had a drain. It just is in your body and drains out fluids and stuff. The removal is really weird but it's doable without pain.

Just keep trucking through. It becomes so much easier as time goes on.

Ah, thanks dude. Fiddleman, you're the best with answers, seriously. I'm so glad you're around here! By heavy lifting, do you mean like, 100+ pounds? Do you think 20 pound weights/bars would be alright?

This might be a man specific topic, I don't know, but when did you start to be able to lift heavy weights? I want to get into strength training but I'm cautious.

It doesn't. How far out are you? If you got sleeved recently, your stomach is inflamed. I believe it can stay that way for weeks.

Yeah, I'm just saying it's better to get a battle plan from a surgeon.

You should really call your surgeon.

Tanyac, I have no idea how it works with taxes, but I know that if the surgery is more than 9.5% (I think) of your annual income, you can write it off in taxes.

If you increase your water intake you should see weightloss. Water is essential for your body to rid itself of a lot of things, including fat.

I'm not sure because I'm not sleeved yet, but I think the MAIN point of the shakes is so make sure we get as much protein as possible. We can't eat much food, so we have to supplement.

The initial testings can be covered by insurance if you have it, or you might have to pay. I don't think they're usually covered by the procedure's costs.

You may have been on a stall. By eating more food, you might have signaled your body to burn more.

Thank you so much! I'm from the debated central jersey haha. You?

Hey, thanks! I'm getting sleeved this Tuesday. I'm so excited but nervous as anything.

It get better. Day 8 now. Day 5~6 I felt much better.

Does your doctor know you had the sleeve performed?

I wondering if a chip would scratch it right open?

I feel like it's more similar to the bypass but without the cutting. I imagine the dumping would be similar, unless for some reason the lower portion of the small intestine can't handle that high nutrient level and causes dumping (all the way form the colon!) I think it's interesting, and would even be implementable for sleeve if people are struggling. Fantastic!

Has anyone used this website for their postop diet? I've used it before while dieting and it's amazing, but I'm wondering if other people use the recipes in their life after surgery. Do you think it'd be good? Here's a quick link: www.skinnytaste.com
