I'm 9 weeks out. Just a lil afraid I'm able to eat a lil more than most ppl. I'm able to eat two eggs in the morning for breakfast ( I don't I eat one) but just thinking maybe my sleeve is bigger or am I stretching it? Also I could take gulps of water rather than sips?

Im 12 days out and same thing. I think you feel like you can eat more because its soft food moving through you pretty fast. I can eat 2 soft boil eggs but can't barely eat one hard boiled yoke. Regular food I have tried, its a few bites thats it but can eat whole can of tomato Soup. Sleeves at any size aren't that big and my doctor said stretching the sleeve is a myth to some degree.

Eat slowly, chew well. (note to self lol)

I was wondering about this as well. I am a week and a half out. I have no issues with eating unless I eat too fast. I am on puréed/soft foods. Today I ate a Meximelt from Taco Bell and was able to eat the entire thing with no issue. I waited 30 minutes and was also able to drink an entire glass of water. I am worried that the further out I get, it will not work. Today I ate 900 calories. I have been at the 550 mark.

Wow! I'm starting week 5 today and am just now able to reach 700 calories. I can eat very, very little at a time. I really need to learn to eat more slowly so that extreme feeling of fullness doesn't hit me so quickly!

I'm 9 weeks out. I can drink water fairly normally. Not really a gulp, but not sipping, either. About 2-3 oz. of food fills me up, particularly if it is protein like chicken or meat. I can handle about 4 oz. of softer proteins like beans or tofu but then I'm stuffed. I still eat mostly protein, a tiny bit of cooked veg (I rarely have enough room for it after my protein), a protein shake every day, and the occasional glass of milk before bedtime if I need a protein boost at the end of the day. I also snack on 15-20 grams of nuts nearly every day.

I can't eat much of anything else, but Meximelts, I can. I'm not sure why. My friend told me about it.

I order them without the salsa. I eat the remainder, shell and all. It all goes down really easily. 220 calories and 14 grams of protein. My doc told me to aim for 350 calories and 20 grams of protein per meal. That is the closet thing I have found that I can get down.

Can't you just take a tortilla shell and melt some cheese on it?

I guess you can. The tortilla helps me hit my calories. I've been struggling with that.

I'm not sure what a "meximelt" is exactly but..

At a week and a half out it sounds like it would not be a good choice for your healing sleeve!

I wouldn't worry this soon out about trying to hit 900 (or even 500) calories ESPECIALLY it you have to eat crap (and dangerous) food.

It's simply meat, cheese, and a tortilla. It's not dangerous. I'm able to eat soft foods so

You are cleared for this???

Soft foods

Soft foods

Oh ok, I guess your doctor decided to skip all the other stages you said you were on...

Good luck
