    Are you following your surgeon's nutrition plan? If so, I don't know how/why you are eating beef and carbs only one month post-op. You should definitely steer clear of the carbs! Most carbs are slider

It takes about 6 weeks for the tummy nerves to heal so you may not be feeling everything yet. It is very important to follow your surgeon's instructions in these early weeks/months and eat by the measuring spoon/cup and the clock. It is later that you can "trust" your bodies signals.

Are you following your surgeon's nutrition plan? If so, I don't know how/why you are eating beef and carbs only one month post-op. You should definitely steer clear of the carbs! Most carbs are slider foods, meaning they move through your sleeve quickly and easily and don't fill you up. You need to be eating denser proteins to feel full. Also, carbs make you hungrier. The more carbs you eat, the more carbs you'll crave. It's a slippery slope and one you should be avoiding this early post-op!

I know when I had this meat and carbs last Thursday, I was sicker then a dog for about 3-4 hours and it was impossible for me to look at anything to eat for a long while.

What I did want create a menu for myself and a co-worker who is helping at work and we are eating smaller meals but every two to two and a half hours. It seems to be working better for me. Try something like that and see if it helps, but remember to eat the Protein first them the veggie or fruit, just incase you get full. Protein will help you heal faster and keep you full longer.

It's acid, my dear, acid. Ask your surgical team if a PPI is right for you, if you're not already on one, or if upping the dosage is ok. ASK, first!!!!!
