Hey I had Gastric sleeve surgery 1 month ago and have lost only 20 pounds is this normal... also I seem to have difficulty knowing what to eat I have been trying solid foods two weeks after surgery I really need some help on what to eat, I'm Latina and we ear bad food even though I try not to I crave it so badly it's frustrating and upsetting for me... please can anyone please tell me what to do

Some thorough detail of what you are eating will be most helpful.

20 pounds since surgery? That's awesome! Did your doctor or NUT give you information of your progression of foods? Clear liquids, full liquids, puree, mushies, solids? Can you give us an example of what a typical day of food is like for you. Have you had your 1 month follow up? If not you can bring up your concerns then too.

20 pounds is great! People lose at different rates, so celebrate that you're that much closer to goal. I don't really have much advice on the food yet, but don't get yourself down over the number.

Thank you I'm just going to see if I follow up with my surgeon see what he suggests

Hello,

It is awesome (at this stage) that you lost 20lbs.!! You stated that you will make a f/u appt. with your surgeon. That's great so he/she can see your healing progress. However, you do want to meet with a nutritionist to get great advise, as to what your daily eating habits are...and should be. That appt. (NUT) will give you better understanding, as to what is head hunger and real stomach hunger. Good luck!
