First and foremost thank you for taking the time to read this, and if you have any suggestion, please throw them my way.

I had my surgery on 1/18/17 no problems other then the blessed gas pains. My SW was 247, my CW is 224; so that's 23 lbs lost. I am at a 4 weeks post-op. I think that about covers the general things.

I saw my surgeon on the 24th of January for my first week post-op check up. He gave me the green light to do puréed/soft foods for 2 weeks to move on to regular food. Honestly I just looked a him like he was crazy because that would put me at 3 weeks post-op and eat regular food so quick??!?!!??!?!?

And I can say that I am struggling with the food/protein/liquids with everything. I haven't met any of the liquid/protein goals that is required since surgery. At first it was just a struggle getting the volume of liquids in. Now, it's just a freaking struggle eating in general by following the doctor's order and moving so fast. Surprisingly enough I don't have a problem with solids so far. As long as I don't overeat or eat too fast, learn that damn lesson quick. I generally stick to eating Protein first and if I have room for veggie alright, but I try to stay away from carbs and sugar.

I did all my pre-op requirements with another surgeon's office but because of somethings that came to light, I switched doctors. The surgeon that did my surgery doesn't have an in house NUT that I can call and talk with. I am looking for my own NUT, but I need help now. I don't know what to do or where to start. The NUT from the other office, well let's just say that the visits only lasted like 5 mins when I had to see her.

I know there isn't any real questions here, but I am bit lost as hell. I seriously need help.

My plan was 1 week full liquids, 2-3 weeks pureed, 4-5 weeks soft solids and regular diet after 8 weeks. At 4 weeks I was eating a lot of eggs, chicken salad, ricotta bake, tuna and refried beans.

My NUT adjusts protein intake and calories to your height and weight goals so I'm getting between 90-100 grams of protein and 700-1000 calories per day, but usually average between 800-900. I'm almost 10wks out and I'm 32 pounds down since surgery (62 total).

I also have a very forgiving sleeve. I have not found a single food I cannot eat, I have had no food aversions at all and I've tried a lot of different foods. Real sweet foods do not taste good to me to I avoid them and I keep my carbs to a low but nothing makes me sick or sits bad. I can eat about 3-5 ounces per meal depending on what I'm eating but I def feel it when I over eat.
