I had the sleeve surgery on April 9th. Since then, I lost 22 pounds. I've also been able to tolerate gulps of water and eat a WHOLE grilled Ceasar salad from Burger King, even a WHOLE (frozen) veggie pizza from ACME. I do take my time when I eat, and other than protein shakes, the salad or mini pizza is the only solid food I'll eat for the day. The rest be things like raspberries, strawberries, canolope & watermelon. Oh, I can't forget...I can even pinch on
5-6 lite potatoe chips with no problem....Because I'm so tolerable when it comes to eating everything, I'm scared that I won't be able to detect if I'm stretching my pouch. ARE THERE ANY WARNING SIGNS?

I was sleeved on April 19th and I set my limit for what I'm going to eat before I put it near my mouth.  I measure it out and if I happen to feel "full" or I'm just not really "hungry" anymore I stop before I fini****  I will not set foot into Burger King.  I will not get near a potato chip.  I just feel that for me at this point it would be sabotage.

Really? Are you for real or joking? Follow your surgeon's instructions.

Oh, you have a stomach (a small one), not a pouch.

Warning Signs: On the road to being non-successful at WLS, if you are eating this way, so early out. Just because you can tolerate something, doesn't mean you should eat it. Unbelievable.

Yeah... uh... you don't have a pouch and that amount of food sounds unbelievable. My dr had me measuring my food. I never tried to eat an entire salad or pizza. If you said what they were in oz I would know if I could eat that much though. And you're just a month out? You should BARELY be on solids.

THANNNNNNKS SO MUCH GUYS FOR YOUR ADVICE AND FOR NOT HOLDING ANY PUNCHES!!!! GUESS I JUST NEEDED DISCIPLINE. AGAIN, THANKS SO MUCH...I APPRECIATE YOUR HONESTY.

I can only assume you're a troll since you first post was "is there a difference between liposuction and the gastric sleeve" and then you actually had sleeve surgery three weeks later.  And now less than a month after your "surgery" - when you might otherwise be on soft foods - you can fit an entire pizza in your "pouch".

Pass.

Goodnight everyone, please drive home safely!

Lol... Ruggie, I love you!  I can always count on you to make me giggle :)

I do agree with everyone that the amount of food you are eating is way too much. I was sleeved on 4/16 so just a few days before you. We are all here to support you and keep you on track, even if their posts seemed harsh. Here are my suggestions to help you not stretch your stomach or cause a leak and to help you succeed!

Have no less than 60grams of protein minimum. You should really shoot for 80grams!
Don't step foot in a fast food place. Those place you may revisit later in life....not frequently however.
Drink at least 64 oz of water a day.
Try to keep your carb intake 40gr or less per day. 
Walk every day. YES Everyday! ---Im just not getting into the habit of this!
Make sure you're not using a straw or chewing gum--
NO carbonation. 
At this point you should only be eating pureed/mushy foods--for 2 weeks. Then you should be able to switch to soft mechanical foods. 

We need to get you back on the success path! You've done all the preparation for weight loss. Now we have to make sure you put it into action by good habits. 

Use myfitnesspal to track your food or log your food another way. JUST MAKE SURE you track everything that goes in your mouth. 

Go to local support groups

The thing I love the most....I got a therapist! I've only been once but it was AWESOME! I'm going every week and I know I'm going to love it! 

You can do this! Feel free to add me and contact me anytime for support! Let's ROCK the sleeve together and be successful! NO MORE BURGER KING SALADS or pizzas!!!! ;) 

Hey Captain Save A Ho, do you really think that was me being an "asshole"??? That was me on a nice day. Calm your sensitive, just-had-surgery ass down. You're silly.  Plus, as Ruggie pointed out, it's a troll.

 lol Before ruggie pointed that out I was already writing and never saw it. I'm not being silly was just trying to help if someone really needed it.

And I still don't see what that has to do with us "********"....

 I'll agree I shouldnt have went that far. My apologies.

No worries.

Frisco is right ...that was very sound advice you gave...as a matter of fact I bookmarked it as a quick go to for myself!

 
Keep being sweet smilin you......no need to apologize.

You put out genuine sound advice.

frisco

I hope you can get back on track and not eat those foods.. Or you will be back to where you were before surgery...

Best of luck to you!

 If this were true, the last thing you should be worried about is stretching your pouch - you clearly have serious issues that need to be resolved ASAP or you might as well just quit while you are ahead. 



But, I'm going to take Ruggie's advice and drive home safe. Oh wait, Im home and going to bed. 

Me too! Why aren't you doing anything for Cinco? You know you're a party animal!!!

 Dude I'm lame as hell. I'm actually resting so I can try and get my butt to run a 10K tomorrow. That's how I celebrate holidays now :)

That's hot. That's why I have a secret girl crush on you! ;) You think you're lame? I'm home because I have MRSA and have been quarantined in my damn house for the last almost week only going from here to urgent care to get IV antibiotics. Annnd of course, no weight loss since it's been going on! I need to get up and WALK 5k so I can be healthy and not get stupid infections like this.
