Hello everyone!

I had Sleeve surgery on 9/26/15, I was 296 lbs and I am currently down to 195.7 lbs. Side by side photo attached!

I am starting to notice that I am able to eat more - definitely nowhere near what my portions were prior to surgery but it is still more than what I was able to eat compared to 6-7 months ago. Is this normal??

It is also scary that I am able to tolerate junk foods like popcorn or chips and there are times when I feel like I can eat the entire bag (when I am on my period)!

I am also noticing that I start to get hungry every 2-3 hours so I have a small healthy snack in between meals but maybe eating every few hours is not a good thing??

Any feedback or suggestions would be much appreciated!

I was sleeved on 8 22 16 and I was on nothing but clear liquids & shakes prior to that for 7 days.

Are you getting all of your liquids and Protein in? I'm just asking cause I got sleeved 8 22 16 and I noticed on the days where I didn't get all my stuff in I was dragging, irritable, and sleepy. But once I got the hang of things and got in all of my Protein and liquids I felt much better and not hungry.

I was told by my dietitian that we can eat grapes however we need to remove the "skin" first on them. I just got sleeved 8 22 16 so I'm still doing liquids mostly too scared to try anything else because I get so full on liquids.< /p>

This is very helpful because I'm struggling with Protein and liquids as well. It just hurts and I would rather just not eat at all

(Which is a major change for me lol) but I know I need to do better and these tips helps tremendously!

Ok cool I just got sleeved 8 22 16 and had to cough it was beyond painful, but now I'm learning to just clear my throat instead realized that doesn't hurt as bad

I was told to eat Greek Yogurt and surprisingly I actually like it. My favorite yogurt was Yoplait before I started this journey.

My stomach makes weird noises too I can barely eat at all. I'm working on my liquids so I don't become dehydrated.

This is so helpful and shows with determination you can keep the weight off or stay within that "healthy" weight.

Thank you everyone! I got sleeved 8 22 16 left side is sore and I'm struggling getting in all of my liquids but I am happy I got it done. I'm also thankful that I am surrounded by people who truly support me. I've moved on from the negative ones. A real lesson learned.

Tbh I do have those moments when I miss real food. But when I think about all the bad choices that got me here I realize the liquids and cleaning out my body is what was needed. When I am finally able to go back to real foods I am much more aware of Portion Control, calories etc.
