Yes, I would absolutely do what my Dr. advised. It wouldn't matter if you lost weight if you wound up dead.
I didn't have the sleeve to diet. I had the sleeve for my life and health.
I hope you are healed and feeling much better soon.

Ok, so I talked to my Doc. They said 4oz of food 3 times a day is fine, perfect actually. If I can tolerate that now that means my healing is probably going quicker than expected hence why I can fit more food in my stomach.
She said that once I start on solids next week I will be able to eat much less and feel full quicker.
Also for the Protein shake, while Atkins may be good, try the Premier Protein. 30g of Protein, 160 cals and 1g of Sugar (or 2g of Sugar in the 14 oz).

So a question here..... I am about 14 days out and I can eat literally 4 oz of food, pureed with no problem, three times. It was pureed chicken with low sodium mexican salsa. I'm worried if I am stretching my sleeve out? Or doing damage I shouldn't be? I get full with it and I stop. My NUT pretty much said, eat what you can within a 20 min period slowly. When you feel feel stop. I do 4 - 4.5 oz of food. I am only doing 800 - 900 cals of food a day. Is this bad? I'm worried now.

I've been big into avocado oil lately. I haven't used it post-op yet, but it was great before the pre-op diet.

I go after laughing cow light cheese everyday right now. I love it. Low fat and low cal. It's ok with my doc. That has been my snack of choice right now. I could do NSA pudding or fudgcicles but I'd rather stay away from sweet stuff. Just my opinion.

I tried the Isopure drinks and thought they were NASTY. I really liked the shakes from costco. Those were good. Unfortunately I can no longer tolerate anything sweet since surgery so I can't drink them anymore.
