I'm also a sleeve.

You look amazing..how long did it take you?

With the sleeve I was told to expect to lose 60% of my weight. We all lose at different rates. Age body physiology, medical issues and medications can be a factor. I was a fast loser. I got to my goal in six months. I would have been fine if it took me a year or more.

What is your age bracket? I wish I would have had this done when I was younger.

How far out your surgery are you? I am three months out from and I’m still have hard time eating legumes... you can always try a small spoon and see if it hurts you or not... everybody is different on food tolerance

Real food stage - My instructions are four years old. Not all of our plans are the same. Can you eat lentils? My plan is low carb. Yes, if it fits your carbohydrate goal for the day. Eat your protein goal first then move on to your other foods. Know low carbs will be in weight loss mode. You will be adding more carbs in maintenance phase to slow/stop your weight loss.

How do you know if you have hit your carbohydrate goal for the day? My instructions were to log my food in an app. People use baritastic or myfitnesspal. Log even if its a chore and inconvenient at first. It gets to be a habit. It made things much easier. Your goal right now is to get 60 to 100 gram of protein each day and to stay with in your carbohydrate and calorie goals.

Here is a link to my dietitians bariatric recipes website for food ideas. (note omit rice, white potato,bread pasta) Some of her recipes (Example clam chowder) has white potato but in minimal amounts. She is fine with. Most carbs come from plant based foods.
