LOL...

Thank you to the last few replys, I did make an appointment with my dr today, it is scheduled for the 14th of July.

In the mean time i will try measuring out 1/2 cup of food per meal and see what happens, Tho I really don't think I would be remotely satisfied only having 1 egg for a meal like another poster said in their example.

I really hope to have the swallow test done and get some answers, but to be honest.. I don't think I would go through another surgery even if it comes back as being twice the size as it should be.

BC I'm booked to see him on the 14th of next month, I did not feel sick or anything, just full.... The kinda full when you say " ok I've had enough I'm not hungry any more" but def not a I just ate thanksgiving dinner full.

Wow, some of you are right down hateful lol. I say I was talking to my dad while eating a steak for a cook out with the intentions of only have the filet mignon side and was able to consume a 20 oz steak without realizing it and I'm blasted because something might not be wrong????
Let me ask you this, can any of you eat 20 ounces of dense Protein? No? Then something is wrong lol.
My stats were stRted in 2007 before I had a lapband, it was removed last June due to complications and the sleeve done in February so they look better than they are. But I've lost 20 lbs since leaving the hospital with the sleeve.
I might not be the staple for doing everything by the book, but that's not why I came here. The reason I came here is because I ate a 20oz steak and that should be physically impossible and I need to know how to bring this up to my surgeon without making him mad or making he feel like in saying he don't know what he's doing.

You guys keep suggesting I set out to eat a 20 oz steak when I've made it clear that's the farthest thing from the truth!
It was on my plate because it was fresh off the grill just as every one else's was, we were at a cook out and left over meat was going home with the person it was plated to. For the 3rd time, My intention was to have the 4ish oz felet side and that's it, I did NOT set out to eat the whole thing, it just kinda happened before I realized it.
Another concern of some of you was if I am following the Drs rules, yes to the best of my knowledge I am, he has no restrictions on volume but the paper says we should eat until comfortable and no more, and to stop after 20 mins.
It does say however that our capisaty is about 1/2 cup which is clearly not the case with me.
I didn't progress to solid foods until I got the ok either.
Some of you say that we can't rely on the sleeve to reduce out intake but should rely on our will power. Are you serious? Why did you have the sleeve in the first place if you could simply rely on your own will power?
I did t come here to get slammed about having to large a piece on my plate to start with when we were away from home, having a cookout and every one was being handed the same cut of meat off the grill!
I came to ask how to bring up my concerns that it seems my sleeve is much large than it should be without making my surgeon mad.
If your gonna howl about the meat shouldn't have been there to start with please go back and real ALL my replays to this thread first!

Has any one been moved to pureed at 1 week post op?

I as because my surgeon called me today to check up on me and I let him know I couldn't even look at another Protein Shake and
he told me because of my size he really wanted me shooting for 1200 cals a day if i could and gave me the go ahead to move on to
Soups and other pureed foods, Just told me not to go trying to eat a steak today, lol.

So I was sleeved on Tuesday the 23rd and other than BAD gas pains the first evening I've felt pretty good,
was released about 24 hrs after the procedure and haven't looked back.

Weight loss has been averaging 2lbs a day tho i must confess I'm not meeting my liquid requirements
and have started to find excuses not to drink another Protein Drink.< br />
After being released I took a stool softener for the first 3 days as I didn't want to be straining with a
sore tummy and yesterday had my first BM, great I think, that came out smooth, lol well today I've had
the screaming diarrhea all day long and am not sure if this is normal or not, I mean I must be 3-4 lbs
lighter than when I woke this morning, its that bad.

So is this something that is normal and to be expected? I understand liquid in liquid out but didn't think
it would be this bad.
