Sleeve question

[Hippie72 23]

Ok an am a band to sleeve convert and been placed on pureed diet today. I am able to tolerate 4 ounces am wondering if that is the max that I can do or is my max gonna be around a full cup? I felt full and no pain. Just curious. Maybe I shouldn't ask.

You should not get to the point of feeling full - try to stop before that. I'm supposed to get 3-4 ozs from week 3-6. I think it'll be a while before getting a cup.

For me, it was close to 2 years out, before I could eat a whole cup, even now at 4 1/2 years out,it depends on what it is. With dense Protein, I can eat far less AND keeps me satisfied longer, so less calories in the long run. With soft foods or slider foods, I can eat more, but am hungry sooner.

i agree. 2 years out i could barely eat full cup of food and if it's the wrong food (crackers and dips, carbs etc) i can eat more than i can a piece of meat or eggs etc.

at this point you have MASSIVE swelling and inflammation that will take months to go away. enjoy the great restriction you have from this and focus on knowing what to eat, etc. best of luck!!

I was so used to my lap band that not having the same restriction is weird. But I thank you for the feedback and will try to just not worry about it.

Hippie72 I am 5 months in and I can only eat 1/2 cup. Happy with that. Don't wanna push it as your stomach will stretch and it will take more to fill u up
