I guess I don't understand "falling off the wagon"... your sleeve is designed to restrict what you eat, meaning that whatever you eat you will eat less of. Just eat till your sleeve tells you that you're full and you're going to lose weight. I've seen plenty of people who just listen to their sleeves and eat what they want and lose plenty of weight. Obviously this is going to be an unpopular answer but everyone is different.

I was sleeved on 8/15 I was 365 when I start my pre op diet on 8/1. I lost 20lbs and have lost another 27 since the surgery. Its been a great start to my weight loss. Im at 318 now. Cant wait to see how September goes.

The pre op diet is the hardest part of the entire process! You Can do it!!!! I have a magic bullet that I use. It awesome! I had my surgery August 14th and I still have another week of pureed foods. Can't wait to actually chew something again!! Lol good luck to you on your weight loss journey!

Don't look at it like it is cheating! Look at it like this - before the surgery, would you have stopped, or been able to stop at three spoonfuls? I admit, it is a bit soon to be deviating from the plan. But if you go forever denying yourself an occasional treat, that is no way to live. Forgive yourself, and get back with the program.

While I tend to be one of those "follow the program" fellows, and I hope I am. It's over & done with. Get back on the horse and ride. And get your head "in the game".

Yes it changes.... I used gas x strips to relieve the gas pain. Now it feels full. I am very aware when my sleeve is getting full. Now I am to the point I can judge about how many more bites I can eat. It does feel.funny sometimes while eating with others. I can eat one mini taco and feel.stuffed. all the while watch others eat 5 tacos to fill.full. that feels weird. You will be sensitive to your body... you will know. Best Wishes..

I know the feeling!!!! I am only 6 days out and its been 20 days since I've "ate" anything!! Starting full liquids tomorrow . Can't wait to taste real food again! I would say its absolutely normal to think of that first meal!! Good luck to you and your husband on your weight loss journeys!
