Um, I'm not sleeved yet. But - eating uncooked ramen which could expand in your sleeve? I'd think that would be a questionable choice. But, again. I'm not sleeved and not an expert.

Why, if you don't mind my asking, that particular choice of snack? Seems high in carbs and in general not nutrient rich. A month out, seems Proteins and liquids would be a priority? Don't mean that to sound snotty. Not how it's meant at all. Just wondering.

As in raw ramen! You eat them straight out of the package they make a delicious snack!

I'm wondering if it's normal to be able to eat that much especially one month post op!

Well to be quite honest, yes we can eat anything we put our mind to.

I think where the problem lies is why eat that?

It might not have harmed you but it's not very good for you at this point either...

I know, that was a bad choice of Snacks but it was a momentary lapse. I should be more careful. :mellow:

Oh and as far as the volume? Yes, it makes sense.

You will always be able to eat more of a nutritionally void food (junk) than the preferred sleeve diet of Protein....

Sad but true reality, because I know skinless boneless chicken breasts did not get me here.

Hey, no judgement here. If I was able to make good choices all the time, I certainly wouldn't be in the shape I'm in and in pre-op for surgery. The expansion possibility of this food concerns me. Don't want you to hurt yourself!

I have a feeling, I'll be doing some serious pantry cleansing to get the tempting stuff out of sight, out of mind!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
