I am wondering what your eating is like at this point . I am able to eat 1/2 cup it takes me about 1 hour , but some times i think my bates are too big and compared to others i seen to be eating a lot yet only taking in about 600-700cal . — balabeatriz (posted on September 26, 2009)

Welcome to my world, I had my surgery August 13, 2009, and I am not able to
eat a lot of pureed foods. So I supplement on protein shakes. I throw up
when I try new foods, and forget fish and chicken, yuck. My nut told me to
try Wendy's chili, I do not know if it was the chili or me taking
B-Complex, not (B-12) at the same time, I threw up.
I am afraid to eat new foods, I eat yogurt, ricotta ans lentils, plus my
protein shakes.

I am 6 weeks out and eating most anything but in a much much smaller
portion. I try to stay away from pasta and cheese because they seem to
make me sick. I can eat beef Jerky no problem great for protein. I tried
to eat a hamburger that did not work about 2 bites and I was done. I have
lean cuisine dinners with chicken and vegetabeles just do not eat the rice.
I had the Gastric Sleeve performed on 8/18/09 and I could not be happier I
have not had any problems.

I am not 8 weeks post op.. I am 17 months post op and to this day I only
eat about 1000 calories if I'm lucky. I would think eating for an hour is
to long.. I was told to eat to 30 minutes. (Just what I was told). Just
remember to chew until your food is liquid. If you start to get the
foamies you are eating too fast and to big of a bite of food. At 8 weeks
out I was eating cottage cheese with some fruit in it or veggies.. It is
very hard for me to eat any kind of meat.. It takes me 30 min just to eat
3 oz of meat. Good luck. I wouldn't trade what I did for anything and I am
sure you wouldn't either.

I am 8 weeks out and I can try just about anything. I cannot eat rice,
because I pay for it all day...trying to get it up. Meat goes down
wonderfully....expecially chicken. No, I have not tried steak yet! Salads
are awesome...grilled chicken salad is the best. Although I only eat part
of it....it is full of protein. I HATE protein shakes, so any way I can
get protein....great! Beef Jerky goes down well...stew is good as long as
the meat is lean. I have eaten turkey burgers (without bun) and that is
better than regular meat.

You should really only be eating for 30 minutes as someone else said...as
one hour is too long and is considered grazing...You can eat more than you
need to eat by spreading out your meals so long even if you only eat half
of that, you really don't want to start a bad habit! They are sooooo hard
to break long term! Just a suggestion

last 3 days I really no I had surgery, even a taste too much and I am
really in pain, also threw up yesterday for the first time. Does anone
