The only thing I noticed and kind of wondered about is I can eat a half cup on cottage cheese in a sitting (20 - 30 min). That is 4 ounces. Isn't that quite a bit being just over 4 weeks out?

dinner)

1/4 canned vegtables

Lost 25 pounds pre-op
I'm still feeling better by the day - in fact I find I have more stamina NOW than pre-surgery! My 7-week post-op exam & extensive lab work last week went very well except I'm pretty low on Magnesium & REAL LOW on Vitamin D. My surgeon prescribed Rx for the D deficiency & an OTC supplement for the magnesium. My Proteins & heart-related labs were excellent! My blood sugars are the lowest they've been in a decade and I'm down to 3 diabetes pills daily (from a high of 7 pills daily pre-surgery). Best part is I've lost 55 lbs since surgery; 66 lbs from my highest weight in February (when I started my pre-op diet.) Can't complain!
Any other middle-agers+ had the sleeve? How ar you doing?

It was NOT going down. Had to run to the bathroom and almost didn't make it. I wasn't nauseous or anything, it just came right back up. I had read from someone else on the boards that she cuts her meat into the size of a pencil eraser. I remember thinking that was crazy. Not anymore.
It took me 3 meals to get through an 8 oz. steak and I was full each and every time. That would've been a snack before!
