    I am a little over 3 months out and that is about all that I can eat.. maybe even less if its dense Protein like chicken. My Nut has me eating 6 times a day.. 3 regular meals and 3 small Snacks otherwise I was only about to get in about 3-400 calories.

    I was sleeved on Sept. 10, so I am a little over 3 months out and that is about all I can do. About 5 bites and I am full....depending on how thick or dense the food it. My dr. told me that is normal and that at about 6 months I will do about 6-8 bites and then at a year I will be able to eat 3-4 ounces. He said then I will be maxed out and I should never do more than 3-4 ounces so I do not stretch my sleeve out. I'm curious to hear some of the other's advice. I know each dr. varies on what their expectations are. Good luck and God bless!

    I'm having a problem, too with Protein. My doctor said no more Protein Shakes after Jan 1. He wants me on solid food only. I know that there is no way I am getting in enough protein with the little bit that I eat. Every once in a while I can pack in a good bit of food, maybe 6 oz, but that is not very often.
    Today I had 3/4 of a piece of string cheese, 1/2 cup of low acid orange juice, about 2 tablespoons of saurkraut and maybe 1.5-2 oz of boneless pork chop. That's 11g of protein and 15g of carbs and 190 calories. I'll probably eat one more time today. I really don't feel like eating more. This may be partially the result of eating holiday food for several days in a row, but I'm dropping weight even with nibbling on a few treats. My next appointment is in two weeks and I know he is going to chew on me if I don't get it together somehow.
    ..and I'm 13 weeks out.

    Congrats to you!!! I'm 6 months post op and 13 weeks pregnant! I too have/had PCOS and was told I would never conceive....well....it was definitely the weight holding me back. Baby is healthy, I am fine!! I haven't been sick or had any cravings. I have lost more weight and the docs don't want that. HW was 283, today I'm 186 (almost at goal) We are very happy! Best wishes to everyone!!!

    Hello! I have not been on here in a while so thought I would update. I was 15 weeks yesterday, things are progressing well. I had a VERY rough first trimester, lots of nausea and vomiting. I started taking zofran around week 9 which has helped a lot but not completely. I feel a little better every day though. I weighed 171 the day I found out I was pregnant, then lost 7 lbs (down to 164) from all the sickness and food aversion; I seriously coudn't stomach the thought of eating! Now that I am feeling better and eating again, I have put 4 lbs back on, making me 168 lbs today. So I am still down 3 lbs at the 15 week mark, but baby seems to be doing just fine. Good luck to all of you, can't wait to hear your success stories soon!

    Congratulations Kirstin and Kristina. It's the stories on this thread that helped me decide to go for surgery. We will start trying as well at the one year mark. But I haven't had the surgery yet. Best of luck to you both!

    I am 9 weeks out & it is all filled in. I had a breast biopsy 16 years ago & it looked like a dog took a huge chunk out of my breast. I never thought it would look ok, but it filled in great too.

    I think you look adorable and pretty in your picture. If you are going into the surgery thinking that skinny is going to solve all of your problems, then you are going to be in a world of hurt later on because being skinny does not solve your problems or make your life perfect. It just means you're skinny.
    Making changes for yourself now does not negate or preclude you from loving yourself and being comfortable in your own skin. Come to that point and the rest will be so much easier.
