TriStateSleever

Thank you everyone. This helps. I will need to find the right balance when time comes and continue to eat socially with friends and family but in a new way.

Hello Everyone, I am new here and just had my sleeve surgery on May 11. So far everything is going well, however mourning a little the social aspect of eating with family and friends, being able to grab coffee from a local coffee shop, etc. I was wondering at what point could you eat a ‘normal’ meal again, of course smaller portions. What is dinner with family like 3 months, 6 months, 1 year post surgery. Do you eat what they eat but smaller with focus on protein? What is eating out socially like? I have heard many veteran sleevers say they can eat everything but now with greater portion control. Is this true? At times i feel there is mixed messages around what life is really like post gastric sleeve and want to hear from those at various stages on this journey. Thank you.
