I do not hate it but moving on to solid food has not been easy for me, I just feel more comfortable with soft foods and full liquids, easier and I can eat more. I find it easier to stay on track with Protein and calories if I have soft food.

Thank you makes sense. I think I am balancing the Protein and calories fine just concerned that I may be eating more because it is soft and goes down more easily. I also figure my sleeve will stretch less with soft foods right now which is a plus.

I had mine 2 weeks and took a shower, little by little they started falling off, I helped a bit when showering. Exposed staples? Where? I am confused.

I do not have this problem with soft food and have stayed longer than I should here, just feels comfortable finally and do not want to move on to start over again with the excessively full feeling.

I had a sleeve and I should have started solid/dense food 3 weeks ago. I have not moved on to this stage and have stayed on soft foods and liquids basically. I am afraid of getting stuck and vomiting and really just feel satisfied eating soft food right now. It is just easy and I can eat more than just 2-3 bites of solid food. My questions is: if I stay on soft foods for lets say one - two more month will these hurt my weight loss? Has anyone stayed on the soft food/liquid stage for a long time? I have lost 40 lbs so far.

HI Sthomas! I had surgery with Dr. Wilhelmy too and was very happy with everything down there too. How are you doing?

I had my surgery with Dr. Wilhelmy at Mexicali Bariatric Center. I am very happy, it was a GREAT experience, the hospital is impeccable and the team wonderful! I have lost 40 lbs in 7 weeks so I couldn't be happier.

I used my cell phone because the hospital I was in ( Mexicali) was very close to the border and I was not roaming. Ask your doctor's office, I am sure they know the cheapest way for you to call home.

60 grams a day is also my target and I had surgery 7 weeks ago. If you check the Protein calculators online they require pretty much the same and this is not considering surgery. I think that after surgery the added peruse from our doctors is to make sure we actually do get in that much at least, it is more important now than before to make sure we lose weight from fat and not muscle.

I just got back from Mexicali I had surgery on Monday with DR Wilhelmy too . I agree with your comments, he is great and I had the same outstanding service when I was there.

I just got home form surgery and was told to take my PPis daily because the acid gets confused as hunger. I am not sure of how much you should be eating as I am still only able to take small sips but myself.

Got sleeved September 15th and just got home!
