What is everyone eating at the life long eating stage of the sleeve diet. I was sleeved on July 18th. Lost 35 lbs after surgery and up to this stage. Now nothing. I'm getting bad headaches and I normally do not get them. I'm hungry al the time. I eat all my protein and am having trouble with carbs. Carbs are in every thing. I use fitness pal to track my meals. I need more of a variety other than protein and vegetables and Benifiber. Where is the fiber in this diet. They tell me no cereal. I don't understand. Thanks for your responses. Debra

I was sleeved on the same day. I'm still on the soft phase. When did you move to regular foods? Are you still drinking protein shakes. I cannot move to regular foods for another two weeks.

I was also sleeved July 18th. I've lost 40lbs, but this past week I am at a stand still. I have been released to eat anything I can cut with a fork. Doing better each day. Still feel I eat only protein. By the time I get my 1/4 cup of protein in, I can't eat anymore. I still do my shake in the am, but did try a protein bar yesterday. It did real well.

My fourth week was soft foods week three four and five... I wasn't released to eat anything until week six. I never worried about protein until then. I just ate what I could three meals a day. Since week six I have been using my fitness pal and I stick to protein mostly salmon boiled egg whites... I give the yolks to my three dogs.. Hah steak once in a while tuna with light mayo and a spoon full of relish. P3 packs... I limit my carbs to 50 or under a day. Once in a blue moon I go over but not often. A typical day for me is three boiled egg whites for breakfast... 4oz of tuna and 2oz of fat free cottage cheese with pineapple for lunch and 6oz of salmon for dinner. Probably a Greek yogurt for a snack between lunch and dinner. I never eat until 1/2 hour after my last sip of liquid and I wait one hour after to drink again. I also have a pure protein bar once in a while when I get a sweet tooth. Or some watermelon! I have made turkey burgers from scratch they are yummy! I almost always try and map out my day ahead to make sure my fitness pal pie chart is where I want it! Haha I have it set at 800 calories 45% protein 30%fat and 25% carbs.
