I Feel Like I Can Eat Anything Is This Normal

[lowe1961 45]

I am 17 days post opt. I feel fine I can eat the soft foods that are on my list with no porblem. I do get full easy and I so far have been able to stop. I am able to drink I dont have to sip. Is this normal ?

Are you losing? I will be sleeved on Monday and is concern this would happen to me

my dr. told me I could anything I wanted but, to keep in mind that Protein was very important because the body needs it so, I would be wise to follow a high protein diet and also, some things you eat might give you diarrhia so keep an eye on your intake and how your body reacts to it. Dont ignore the protein and/or your vitamins...at first I started losing a lot of hair due to lack of protein because I was not getting enough.. best of luck to you

yes I do take my Vitamins and I do work each day at getting in my Protein. I have lost 24 lbs so far.

being able to drink more than sips is great - but you are early WLS - so don't gulp yet - at a later point you can drink faster.

i think many people can take more than sips - i know i could

if you are feeling full at the proper time during your eating - great, stop when you are full - than stop one bite earlier my drs. joke

sounds like you are doing fine - you are doing things properly

keep up the good work

You are not alone. I am 17 days. Post-op. I can eat just about anything can chew into a paste. Spicy food, beef,pork, sashimi, you name it. Some of us have a lot less drama than others.

Yep. Another vote for completely normal. I'm now almost 8 weeks out and have been able to gulp Water since early on. My sleeve also let's me eat pretty much anything I want so long as I don't overdo it. There are some things I haven't had yet though but so far so good for everything I've tried.
