An Example of the Sleeve's Effectiveness

Thank you for the response. I will take a step back. My understanding was that I could have basically what I want as long as I could tolerate it, within reason, of course. From day 1, I didn't feel the restriction at 1 oz, as some here suggested would happen and as my nurses suggested should happen.

I'm gonna stick to the soft stage until I am given the green light to go to a normal diet.

Thanks again.

Please provide your surgeons name.

and people wonder why we get our panties in a bunch. 

2 weeks out, eating a WHOLE hamburger at BURGER KING. Go back and read that slowly and tell me HOW on earth I can possibly answer this without being snarky or just throwing my hands up in the air and walking away. 

It was a small hamburger, tiny. I thought what I had was the perfect amount of food. I have been really active and need a little more fuel than most I suppose. I'm 6'4" and 317 this morning. I walked three miles last night and have averaged two miles per day for the last week in addition to being active all day. Planning on starting lifting light weights tonight. The scale has been lower and lower every morning. What am I not doing right?

Did your surgeon not give you any instructions???

I haven't heard of a single person on this board who was allowed to eat hamburgers at two weeks out, nor have I heard of someone who was allowed to do any form of exercise other than walking for the first month or so.  No way should you be lifting weights today. 

At three months out, I average about 2 oz of dense protein per meal, and that pretty much fills me up.  There's no way I could have eaten a whole hamburger, even a tiny one, at two weeks out. 

There are other considerations here besides how the scale reacts.  Like I said before, you're on a path that likely leads to injuring your new sleeve.  Not good.  Go back and look over your surgeon's post op plan, and follow it. 

 UMMMM what are you doing wrong? You mean besides not following your surgeons orders, adding crap food back into your diet already and risking your LIFE by shoving solid food into a newly cut stomach? 

Nothing, you got this, keep rocking on with your bad self, I am sure you will do awesome (if you don't kill yourself first).

you had your guts cut and 85% of an organ removed so that you could be healthier and you go to Burger King two weeks later and eat that crap?

This has to be a joke.

No wonder people are leaving this board right and left.

Did you have no counseling or nutritional classes before your surgery?

I have to leave...

I guess I just don't see BK as being that unhealthy when taken in this small a dose. I think my old habits were very unhealthy, but less than 500 calories when I'm as active as I have been? C'mon. It's volume that got me into this mess.

You have A LOT to learn young Jedi.....its a shame you were led to believe this.

 That literally made me snort.
