hey everyone well im screwing up bad i got my sleeve on 5/17 and everything went good first week i followed diet good on liquids then the second week doc said i could add cream soups to my diet like cream of potato and chicken. that is when my troubles started. it seems that i can still eat alot i read about people being able to eat only 4tbs buy i can eat a can of the cream of potato and today i had some bread not a lot but still its bad. i can drink water or propel like nothing a 16.5oz bottle easy. i had some ice cream today also :001_cool::svengo::thumbup:

i thought I was stretching my sleeve because when i could eat soft foods . I sometimes could eat around 5 oz but it had to be "slider" food . soft foods that slide down. But I'm 6 week out and the sleeve will let me know that I can not have another bite, I guess you have to learn your body and your "new" organ , Sleeve... Everyone is different. I asked my surgeon what was the size of my sleeve. He said 2 oz.... I think he probably tells everyone that. LOL i can't and don't overeat. Its not worth that. but I have notice that also. It makes me more aware of my foods and calories. I may eat only 900-1200 daily and I exercise daily. i have lost 38 lbs since surgery. 80lbs more to go...

Have you talked to your surgeon about this? What size boughie did they use?

i havent talk to my doc yet he used a 32

I consumed a lot more calories when I was on mushies than I do now. That stuff just slides right down. Now I am careful to eat solid proteins and very few sliders. I am full pretty quick when I eat solid food. You may find the same thing to be true when you are able to eat solid food. On about day 10 (I was supposed to be on full liquids) I ate some cheese bread... just a couple of bites. I was so scared I had screwed it all up and I was certain that I had caused some damage.

Lots of us worry about this kind of stuff but you'll probably be okay once you hit solids.

How long does it take you to eat the Soup? If less than 20/30 minutes, you need to slow WAY down. You won't have much of a full signal when on liquids, but slowing down may help with the volume. If it's not your speed, you may want to call your surgeon/nutritionist and discuss your concerns. They may be able to alleviate your fears or provide additional advice. Best of luck! :thumbup:

It takes quite a while for signals and stuff to make sense because it really feels differently then it did preop. It helps me to track everything and measure. Then even if my body doesn't let me know its time to stop, I'll know that I'm done. Good luck!
