  • I'm over 3 months out and I enjoy food. I just don't eat much of it. There's nothing I can't tolerate. Being in control over the food is an awesome feeling.

  • Eating and drinking was a chore for me for almost 3 months. Now I love eating and make sure every bite is a yummy one. And like hhhappy, I am totally in control now.

    Food totally sucks for me. I'm about 9 weeks out most of it goes down ok, just doesn't taste good and never leaves me feeling satisfied.

I am 3 weeks out and wonder the same thing. I have friends who have been sleeved and they say yes. I still don't understand how you can eat a "meal" when you can only hold 4 oz.

Short answer--yes. I'm 3 1/2 months out and have been making casseroles that I really enjoy. I got the recipes from The World According To Eggface and jiggered the amounts around to meet my surgeons requirements of less than 30 grams of fat; 30-60 grams of carb; 60-75 grams of Protein and 700 cal. Or less per day.

I really like the ones I've tried and get my macronutrients in one 3 oz serving.

Hi! You absolutely will enjoy food. I remember thinking the same thing when I started this journey. I couldn't even imagine enjoying anything again. It has definitely been a learning experience. I am almost 5 months out, and I am still learning new ways to eat. There are some things I can not tolerate (like pork, and chili), but everyone's tolerance is different. The one thing I have gained is control over my eating habits. I never had that before, it's GREAT! For me the first two months were the most difficult. Each day it got a little better. Good luck with your journey.
