So I had my post op visit today, I've lost 20lbs and free to eat anything except soft bread flour tortillas, raw veggies and whole fruits. Fruits have to be in a smoothie. And my meats have to be grounded. Oh happy day

How long ago was surgery?

3/26 was my surgery

Mine was 3/26. I am not eating very much yet. Bypass for you? I am scared to eat, afraid to hurt Have not yet but a constant fear daily food, 2 homemade smoothies. Then dinner. Cooked veggies (very small amount ) and cottage cheese OR smashed beans Would love to know the type of surgery you had and any thoughts thanks !

Hooray! Congratulations!

My surgery was 3/25 and I've lost 10 pounds consuming between 600-800 calories a day. Is your calorie intake more/less?

I see the doctor this afternoon and hope to be cleared for Stage 3. Do you feel any restrictions when eating? I've been able to eat yogurts on Stage 2, but haven't ever had any restrictive feelings when eating or drinking. This is probably a good thing, but it seems like most people do have some restrictive feelings when eating/drinking. I am so worried about stretching my sleeve out move to regular eating.

Are You so relieved surgery is over?! I know I am. Food restrictions not really. The other day I was eating edamame and chewed it really really well. Only ate about 6 pods for 12 beans total. My tummy felt a bit weird. Other than that, no issues. I too worry about eating too much to get back. I am doing well eating, probably around your same caloric Intake. I just have to get moving more, desk job keeps me sitting all day. This am I was down 19 lbs . I am still eating really soft and no meat at all. I lick peanut butter off a spoon That is as wild as I get ! Please let me know how your drs appt goes. Would love to hear.

I had the sleeve on 3/26, I ate half of hamburger yesterday and half of string cheese for lunch...chew chew chew. For dinner I had ground meat peas with red chili sauce. I haven't felt restrictions. But I take small bites and eat slow.

Congrats! I had my follow up this morning as well. My surgery was 3/31 and I am down 17lbs. I am still on soft foods (no breads and he's a no red meat guy) but it's been ok. I haven't had a stitch of bread and I sooooo want some, but I will give myself a few weeks. Feel pretty good, ready to get moving to keep this weight loss going!

Best of luck to everyone! Keep loosing!
