I had the sleeve on Oct 4th. 1st 4 days were horrible with dry-heaving and a trip to the ER for dehydration. Now I am drinking and doing the soft diey of cream soups, sf pudding, greek yogurt and trying to take in my protein but I never get a full feeling so I am worried I am doing too much or maybe not enough, how much should I take in a day? Still feeling really weak.

its all uphill from here... but your new tummy is still quite numb... you WILL feel when you are full... I promise. Eating is different for everyone but you will feel better as you eat more.... I hated this phase because of feeling weak like you. I quickly progressed to Yogurt (I love it...never did before but it makes me feel good) scrambled eggs...yum, cheese, well chewed meat....like lunch meat.... always protein first.... you'll hear that a thousand times.... rofl I think at 6 weeks I'm up to maybe a half cup per meal....something like that. 4x per day... about 900 cal

you food should be limited to 2-4oz. If you eat to much at one time you will start to feel uncomfortable. When i over eat i get what has been called the slimy. your mouth is extremely watery. you have a persistent cough/hacking feeling thay may be followed by vomiting. the only thing that brings me relief after overeating is vomiting. I have suffered for up yo 4hours waiting for my stomach to calm down. the only thing that works is vomiting.

Do you have any post op instructions or guidance?

No my doc and nutritionist gave me guidelines of whats ok to eat but not of how much. I feel like I am eating more than I should be but I haven't felt full or gotten sick at all so just dont know.
