Hi. I am about 4.5 weeks out from my sleeve surgery, my dr has had me on regular food since day 6 post op. I had gone back to soft foods about 2 weeks ago, and just started eating meats again this week. Tonight, for the first time, I went out to dinner with my family, I had a chicken caprese meal. I ate about 5 bites of chicken, 2 pieces of motzarella and maybe 5 crouton size pieces of roasted potato. I stopped when I started feeling full, but I can't help but wondering if its too much. My dr said I can eat breads and stuff AFTER I eat my protein which I do....(make sure I eat protein first).

At the bold, unfortunately sometimes the full feeling is the only way to know you've had too much when eating out. Having a good idea how much makes you full is good because you know to eat less next time.

I've already decided, NO MORE potatoes for me! I have been feeling "guilty" since I ate them.

If you are eating slow, and chewing and not getting sick, you must be doing okay.

However, If you feel you could be eating too much, I would cut back a little.

It is possible to stretch your pouch.

Congratulations on your new found life.

I KNOW I don't eat slow enough. I have been working on it, but it's really hard for me. Ugh

I am having the same issue. I know I'm not eating slow enough, but i often forget when I'm eating. I'm making changes, but it's still difficult to beak old habits. I'm down 40lbs since I was sleeved in May, so I guess I'm doing something right?

I was sleeved June 14, and I have only lost 17lbs since surgery. I'm getting really frustrated. Are you exercising? I just sent in paperwork to join a gym, I am starting to worry that this isn't working for me.

Where are you in Pa? I am about 15 min from the Phila airport.

Only allowed 9oz of food with my nutritionist... I am 11months out

I am in Bensalem which is north of Philadelphia.

I go to the gym 4 or 5 times a week and power walk for 30 min. I usually do about 2 miles. It's not a lot, but at least it's something. Since my surgery on 5/17 I am only down about 25lbs. 40 total since I started the 10 day pre liquid diet.

I have been slacking though because I took 2 weeks of vacations to the beach this month.

I think 17lbs if you have not been working out is great!

I DEFINITELY plan on working out very soon. I have a trainer lined up, I'm going on vacation Monday, then after that, I'm going to really start working hard!
Sounds like you have a pretty good routine! Good luck!!!

Wow I dream of those days... I can barely get down 2 oz. at the moment.

I was never given any amount to stick with, no carb/calorie limits. He just said chew well and you'll know when you should stop eating.
