Eating Does Get Better....4 Weeks Post Op

For the guys out there (and gals) that were worried about if they could ever eat a normal portion of a food or drink after their sleeve, for my experience its yes. I'm four weeks out from surgery and never had any food or drink issues. Today I downed a whole 11 oz Protein shake with ease with no bad feeling afterward. Also I'm having normal portions of things like roast beef and fish. Mind you I've now been trained to eat slower and I'm paying attention to properly chewing things. Maybe its were I'm still eating softer foods...but I'm moving more toward my protein goals from foods from shots and shakes...which is great. The atkins bars make for a great high protein snack and greek vanilla yogurt. My diet for this week will consist of deli turkey breast dipped in spicy mustard maybe wrapped in 2% milk cheese, denty moore beef stew, campbells chunky Soups, frozen fish and salmon, canned chili. My sleeve absolutely loves WHEAT THINS...has for over a week now. I guess its where it chews up into a nice mush. For the folks who loved meat before, the post op diet is going to fill right back into track.... thought I'd share that!

I don't know about you Mater, but I'm dyin' over here on just liquids. Day 8 was rough. Can't wait to chew something meaty.

Encouraging Worm, thanks!

Isn't week 4 GREAT!!? I remember week 3 and I ate guacamole...I ate guacamole for like 4 days!! Just to be able to have something solid to eat. it was soooooo good!! Wow, it seems so long ago. The 1st month is the pitts, but that is where you will lose the weight the fastest. After week 4, it's a breeze!
