I ate three small pieces of chicken and within 40 minutes felt sick... Like I felt when I are the tuna... Maybe not soft enough even though my book says chicken ... I am four weeks tomorrow and feeling like all I can eat are eggs.. Cottage cheese... A little cheese... And all the things from the liquid diet... Is this only because the stomach is healing or will this be my way of life six months or a year from now? I did so much research before this procedure but I don't think I focused enough on the whole process afterwards. I have a small bite or two and then I'm full. Alyce

This is pretty typical from what I hear, I do not have the sleeve yet but if you read other forums with long times sleeves you will see that they can eat so much more than that.

You will find some foods agree with you more than others.. chicken may be a wait a while longer food for you.. For me eggs were a nightmare early on but now I have no issues with anything. One month out is still very very new so I would maybe instead try canned ham to start.. I am almost a year out and can eat much more than I could early on, but still nowhere near as much as before. Did your nutritionist or doctor give you a list of foods for the stage you are now at? Another possible option is thicker soup varieties or chili.. you can add unflavoured protein powder to it. I know it's hard to wait the necessary time to finally feel like you are able to eat 'real' foods but I promise it's worth it. Good luck

Thank you Dropdeadweightdiva.... Just want to make sure this is normal.

oh its totally normal, i couldnt eat ground beef or fish just yet, but i will try again in a few weeks
