I already know that my sleeve is tight , my doctor told me to give it time, so that I understand but I still get full easily and I want to know how everyone times their food ? I think I'm eating too fast . How small r everyone's bites?

Thanks ladies for the replies! Really helped to know I'm not alone.

I'm 5 weeks post op and am trying out different foods I can and can't have, so far I keep things down just fine but I am struggling with eating 6-800 calories , I usually get in around 450-500 and I am always full. I've tried snacking here and their (on healthy items) but I still can't get in more calories. Am i going to be ok and lose weight still? My sleeve is very tight! I also work out 4-5 times a week usually elliptical or treadmill and I'm down 25 pounds since preop . I was sleeved July 7 by Dr. Alvarez.

One hard boiled egg mashed with a tsp of olive oil for breakfast then I made a homemade burger with crispy wonton wrappers as the bread and put a pickle and red inion for toppings. for dinner some roasted edamame that I roasted. Lots of water and some iced tea. I got in 500 calories and I walked two miles and worked like crazy (restaurant ahift leader)

Thanks ken, those weren't showing up before

I think u r taking in too much protein. Ur body can not process that much protein at one time. For a female u should only take on 15-20 grams of protein per meal or it won't get broken down right. I used to do the samething

Me too sherry, I lost everything, anyone wanting to contact me I gues just PM me because I lost everything I subscribed to

Lol, do u go there often? I work 6 days a week some lunches but most dinners.

I've lost all my info too

One egg mixed with low fat or fat free cheese and some spam lite... Yum!

Hey dooter , thanks for the thoughts. Yeah he told me to take a PPI and said it may last another month but this should help me, I hope it does because other than that I think I'll be ok. I wouldn't take any with u because they give u all that through IV, so u should be ok. He told me its going to take time to get use to food so I'm gonna take it easy and stick to a lot of Protein drinks and softer foods. Hey I'm down 24 pounds since my preop diet, I guess that's not bad. Lol

Looking awesome! Great work!

Thanks everybody for ur replies. I'm going to buy some OTC acid reducer. Hopefully it'll help me

Good luck today jenn! Please give us an update when u can.

Four weeks out and just started solid foods, although I haven't really tried anything because I don't feel ready I still feel put of it. I still get horrible reflux and I had strep throat and its still hurting me. Sometimes I get my water and sometimes I don't, I feel like I'm struggling and I wanna know when the hiccups will stop and the reflux is driving me crazy. Can't even eat two ounces without feeling stuffed. Help!
