Cindy vsg

I have 7 knife wounds too. Well, 5 that look like knife wounds, 1 small round one in the middle upper area, almost where my bra sits and one in my belly button.

Sleeved 10/24 HW 290 SW 229 CW 212 No complications, no problems eating or drinking. I get about 65-75g of protein and about 700-800 calories and walk 1-2 miles a day. Not overjoyed with the rate I've lost so far, but all I can do is follow the plan and hope my body complies. Cindy

How many calories should we be having at around 5-6 weeks out?

I'm 5 weeks out and haven't had any issues either. No nausea, no vomiting, no aversions to any foods, no slime, no dumping, nothing. I got in my Protein from day 2 and Water as well. I drink normally. I chew pretty well, but don't necessarily eat real slow, about 10 minutes to finish 2-3 oz of food. Never had an issue with eating too fast. I do stick to protein with a few veggies here and there, but not every day. I haven't eaten sugar, bread or other refined carbs, so I don't know about them. I have had spicy things and they're fine too. My only issue is that in 5 weeks I've only lost 16 lbs. SW was 229, but I had lost 61lbs in the 6 months prior to surgery with may, or may not have contributed to the slowness . I'm still holding out hope it picks up a bit, but all I can do it follow the plan and hope my body holds up it's part if the deal

I was sleeved 10/24 and was having hunger soon after eating too. I found that if I wait an hour after eating to drink, rather than the 30 mins my Dr said, I don't get hungry for 3-3 1/2 hours. Cindy
