i had my sleeve done on 4/23/18. im in the final puree week. i feel hungry mostly towards the afternoon. ive been nibbling on things but i am trying to stay on track. i feel like im overeating. i puree pickles the sour ones and i try to make that my snack. i have been eating boneless chicken i can eat three small size. i feel that i shouldnt be eating it at this point.

Any suggestions. i also have coffee sometimes.

Hi there

Every doctor has wildly different plans, with some common points. I was eating chicken, fish before I left the hospital!

But, that said, your best course is to follow your doctor as much as you can. A few reasons - firstly, so you don’t damage your newly healing Internet wound. But mostly, over this time period, your main job is to develop new eating habits. Hard but it gets easier - but weight loss will only get harder. Now is the time to cut your carbs, retrain your tastebuds, and shift how you think and feel about food. Your surgeon’s plan, and sticking to it to the best of your ability, is an important part of that.

It gets easier, I promise!
