Hi! I am a week and 5 days post-op of the gastric sleeve. Doing ok so far but would appreciate any advice in the coming weeks and months of progressing diet. Thank you

Welcome, not sure I have stellar advice as I am a bypass patient not a sleeve patient, but I like the advice that is always given to remember that your journey will be uniquely yours, including the weight loss, side effects, etc. as you continue along. I myself am super guilty of comparing myself to other bypass patients until I remember that! General rule of thumb...sleeve patients are slow and steady weight loss 'losers' so if you don't see a massive loss there should be no worries, it comes of at a nice pace most of the time Be prepared for plateaus, they are normal and usually it's your body 'adjusting' during that time so you may be losing inches even if the scale stays in the same spot for a few weeks. Congrats on your decision to be a new healthy you, best wishes on your new journey!
