Any 12/8/15 Sleeves out there

I had my surgery 12/8/15, and surprisingly doing really good. My incision where the stomach was token out of still give me pain but for the most part I'm doing really good.

I just started going to the gym this Friday and just walking on the tread meal until the weight instructor tells me different. I'm not sure if I lost anymore wait since my last appointment with my doctor so I'm hoping that when I get on the scale it's not the same has 3 weeks ago or more.

food Wise someday a I'm really hungry and somedays I'm not. I can fully eat all my soft food, chicken, fish, fat free yogurt, cheese, tuna, oatmeal, etc... with no problems and that makes me feel so weird cause I hear a lot of people that was almost 4 weeks post-op still stuck on Soups. I did something really bad today and I had a smoothie that had a lot of sugar in it and I know that it's really really bad but it was so good and I had a lot so now I'm really full and kinda uncomfortable. I'm still eating way to fast and not chewing enough and when I eat it I can feel in traveling to my stomach. I really need to wrap my head around my new sleeve and stomach. I got a baby spoon and fork to help me out.

tell me what going on with my fellow 3-4 weeks post-op sleeve?

I also had my surgery on 12/8/15! Sounds like you are doing really well! Congrats!

I am doing good I think lol, getting all my Fluid in but still having trouble with the Protein and Vitamins because they both make me sick. I'm trying some different things though. I can pretty much tolerate any food but only a tiny amount so I know I'm not getting an adequate amount of protein from food alone.

Whenever people ask how I am doing I always answer the same way.. there are good days and bad days. Do you feel like that to sometimes?

I was sleeved 12/7 so just one day before you! Hopefully that is OK?! I am in the same boat. I definitely feel hunger and some days feel like I can eat more than I should compared to some other folks who even at 1 - 3 months out are still really restricted to just a few spoonfuls. Especially soft foods like yogurt, soups, etc. I can definitely eat more yogurt than say chicken or fish. For example, I can eat an entire 5.3 oz greek yogurt now but maybe 2-3 oz of flaky fish. But as long as I keep my calories in check I feel like I am OK. My doc had me on purees and soft foods from the day I got home from surgery so maybe that is the difference? The people I know who are super restricted were on clear and full liquids for weeks before moving to purees. I am already eating regularly textured food at this point. The good thing about that is I can drink pretty much anything and tolerate just about any foods so getting my Protein in isn't difficult mechanically - I am just really sick of Protein shakes and don't want to drink them anymore!

I started working out again today, took a really long walk this morning (I need to work back up to the gym). Felt good though - I am down 20 pounds since surgery (25 total since pre-op diet) and I felt the difference.

I feel so much better hearing this, I really want to thank you. i don't feel so weird now, because I started my soft foods at 16 post-op and keep asking myself am I moving to fast. I felt like maybe my surgery didn't work at all cause I would feel hungry. you don't know how much this helps me ????????
