So I had surgery in early August 2012 and I have a few questions and I guess I want to know that things I experience are normal.
I feel as though I struggle with Protein intake. I heard that your body can only process so many grams of protein at a time and the rest is wasted, is this true?
I was having a problem with caloric intake as well, but I think I am better, but not quite there yet. What are some good foods high in calories but low in fat?
I have not gotten sick from overrating, I think it will hurt and I am scared to risk it. But I can still eat too much and when I do, I swear I can feel the food in my esophagus waiting for my belly to empty a bit. Is this normal?
I have lost 64lbs since surgery. I am around 800 calories a day. I recently started jogging and lifting weights (if you can call it that, they are 2lbs each for my flabby arms). I feel healthier than ever and I am feeling like my old self again. Am I at a good point?
Has anyone heard of or know of any good news articles relating to sleevers, I still find this all fascinating. Any news, views and hints are greatly appreciated.
