I'm 1 year, 4 months out from sleeve, and with the exception of sugar in large quantities (I'll dump), I can tolerate everything. But it doesn't mean that I eat everything.
So, almost a year out from my surgery and down about 130 lbs from surgery day (197 lbs overall), I find myself eating what I consider relatively normal now. I mean yes, there's still things that I can't eat at all, and I still eat a lot less overall than I did before. I've still found that there are things that I can handle now that in theory, I shouldn't be able to.
An example? Fun size M&Ms. I can handle a pack of these with some protein and not have any issues. One pack of fun size M&Ms is less than 10 grams of sugar. I can also handle grapes, sushi, and a single slice of pizza. Anything more is pushing it.
My weight fluctuates day to day, but it's still on a downward trend and I'm getting good walking in with the occasional swim as exercise.
