Hi! New to the forum! I was sleeved 10/6 and Everything has been great. But... I have a question for you. I started soft foods today and, for dinner, heated up a Lean Cuisine Meat Loaf and Mashed Potatoes (250 cals/20 grams of protein). I expected to only eat half if it, but I comfortably are the whole thing in 40 mins. NO pain and no ill effects. Is this normal? Too much food? I am concerned. Thanks!!

Thank you so much. I will stop sooner next time. I was really hoping I would be one if those who physically couldn't eat more. But, perhaps that will happen when I progress to the next stage. Thank you for your insight. Much appreciated.

Hi. I have a a desk job, and first though I would take two weeks off. My surgeon said 4 weeks. His reasoning was not for pain or immobility, but to give me a chance to get used to eating. It is a lot of hard work after surgery. I listened to him and I so glad I did! New emotions, eating/drinking patterns, exercise choices and insomnia (common in surgery patients) would have been too much to juggle with work. If you have the time built up at work, use it. You won't regret it.
