Difference b/w men and women

My hubby had his sleeve surgery on Tuesday. He can already eat and drink more than I can 5 weeks out. Is there a difference in restriction between men and women when being sleeved?

Surgery on Tuesday and eating what.....????? He should be on fluids only. I don't really see being able to eat more as a better thing. After all, restriction is what a sleeve is all about.

Yea, i when through a protocol set by my Nut for the sleeve surgery. where my diet advanced as my stomach healed. They gave me medicine cups to drink out of. So i m not going to assume what you mean by this with out details. Because even Water felt like a burger to me in the beginning lol.

Wow how much is he eating ?

Really not eating per se but being able to consume more. He can drink a whole glass of water like its nothing at one time. They told him he could have cream of wheat. He could eat two packets at once.

Maybe everything is ok. He just feels like there is no restriction or uncomfortableness when he consumes.

I told him to be careful as he doesn't want a leak and he may still be numb.

I rarely feel the restriction but I don't push it at all. I eat 1/4 cup of cottage cheese, chicken, meat, and it is enough. I can probably do more, but don't want to. I feel it when I drink too fast or eat too fast.

IMHO he needs to slow down, eat Protein, and he will have better results in the long run.

Agree! Today he consumed too much too fast and has been moaning and groaning. Finally feeling the restriction and doing much better today.

Thanks everyone!
