Well folks. I am about five weeks post op. This coming Monday I start eating without restrictions. I really didn't get any good advice or direction from the nutrionist at my surgeons office on how to proceed. I am assuming this is going to be trial and error. I am going to continue or try to at least to high protein low carb, however I don't know how many grams of carbs is my limit.

So far, I feel great. Energy is up, I went from a 46 inch waist to a 40, I sleep better (no more snoring), and I am lighter on my feet. As great as I feel, I am avoiding and paranoid about hanging out with my friends. I am scared to eat out not because of temptation but for fear of inadvertently sabotaging my sleeve. I don't want to lose my friends. They are however losing patience with me.

Congratulations on your 5 weeks out. Your friends should understand that this was not something that you did lightly. They should be proud of you and let you decided when you are ready to go out to eat. Our entire lives revolve around food. Maybe you could have them over and do something non food related .
