I was sleeved 12/17 and I am right there with you. I can get down about 3/4 of an egg or half of a banana but anymore than that is out of the question!

I'm six and a half months out and I can only eat one scrambled egg with a little cheese. I would be in a world of hurt if I ate two plus a banana.
I think whoever wrote your meal plan has scrambled brains. Just sayin'.

I am four years out and probably couldn't finish that. Just eat what you can and make sure you are getting all of your Protein.

My Doctor must've missed most of my stomach as I can easily hold that much food only 4 months out. Different strokes for different folks,,, or should I say different cuts for different nuts.

I'm four months out and I can eat a couple eggs. Im definitely full after that though. Not sure how much I could add beyond it.
I get a quarter banana in on many mornings in my Protein Shake smoothie. But that's blended.

We are all so different, especially earlier on when we are recovering from the surgery. I am still on 5 small meals a day, otherwise I wouldnt get all my Protein in (100 gr). You may find that you can eat more of one thing and not so much of another, so its a case of just trying to see what works and what doesnt. I had my surgery at the end of July last year and I am only at the stage of having two eggs scrambled and If I eat boiled eggs, I can only have one. Just go with what your body is telling you.
Congratulations

I'm 18 months out and there is NO WAY I could eat two eggs AND a banana for breakfast. That's a lot! I can eat maybe one egg with a little cheese on it and half a sausage patty these days....

Eight months out and can easily eat two eggs and banana. But I DON'T.

Someone be my bari buddy. I didn't realize how hard this was actually gonna be. I'm close to 2 months pre op. I do have a support system but it theres nothing like speaking to someone who's going through or went through the same things.

I'll be your buddy. I'm close to 7 weeks post op.????
On vacation for a few more days but will able to check my computer daily soon. In Isla Roatan today. ????

I'm one year post op here are some pics...

Congratulations on the weight loss. Even though it is exciting to see losses of 2-3 pounds of day, that doesn't last. None of us loses at a constant or steady rate. We all experience slow downs in weight loss and even periodic stalls.
If you are losing, even if it is 1-2 pounds a week, you are not in a stall.
Everyone does stall and most folks experience their first stall or slow down about three weeks after surgery.
Just follow your program.
Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids.
Take your Vitamins and supplements as recommended.
And, exercise.
Embrace the Stall!

I did cheat the first 2 days, I won't lie! But I stuck to it the last 5 and I actually just got sleeved today!! No complications, everything went great but my surgeon prefers for his patients to stay over night for observation. I'm so excited guys! Thanks for answering my questions!

Thank you for giving me actual advice! I'm definitely gonna try the baby spoon method.

When I lit a cigarette is was more to prove to myself that what I was craving was in the past. I wanted to prove to myself that I didn't "need" it anymore. It may not make sense, but it helped me a lot. I took one puff off a cigarette, I don't think it did much harm. And I'm fully quit now, so no future harm. It was just reassurance.

No problem, I am blessed to have this surgery. Blessed that I killed two birds with one stone. Stay strong, you won't regret it!

I switched to vaping, now I can't stand cigs. Good luck, but remember what is happening to your stomach. It is cut. The cut needs time to heal. Tobacco and smoke just works against it. You just have to respect the sleeve for at least a month post surgery. I don't want to freak you out, but if you need it, Google and you will find plenty of pictures to convince you that you must give yourself time to heal.

Honestly I wondered, but after surgery my appetite for a cigarette was carved. I have no want or interest in them. Your body is going to completely change in its desires and cravings. I lit one, and tried one huff and threw it out. It gives you gas that's painful and it tastes awful now.

Why not just keep going. You're almost there.

My insurance required the 6 month plan. I actually feel that it helped me gain some tools that will help me be more successful in the long run. Best of luck to you with whatever happens.

Well the place I had my consultation with basically urged me to gain the 10 pounds so I would be at a BMI of 50 . So idk if they will still make me do the 6 month supervised diet. The rush is that I've been overweight sooo long and so uncomfortable in my own skin and I'm ready to change my life. My health issues are getting worse by the day.
