Thanks for this post Jess! Im 6'1 and I've gone from 319 pre surgery to weighing 262 right now. So going from squeezing in 3X clothes to wearing an XL, sometimes L. And it's weird because I still don't believe I wear those sizes now! Glad to know that it's not an abnormal feeling.

I am about 4 and 1/2 months and have been stalled for about 2 weeks now. I've tried not to give it much thought. I workout 6x a week cardio and weight training . I eat the required Protein and within the calories. So I know I'm not doing anything "wrong".
I am very thankful for forums like this because instead of being worried, I get to read amazing advice from people who've been there and lost even more after the stall ended. Can't wait to bust through this stall and get back to dropping!

I'm 1.5 years out and there is absolutely no way I would be able to eat a steak dinner in 6 more months, or for a very long time, if ever. I still max out at 4 oz of anything, sometimes sooner with really dense Protein.

18 months out and I max at 4 oz - I can eat 5 oz if it's yogurt (well, some days, lol...). With everything, some days I can only eat less than 4 oz, but I always max out at 4. I get around 900 calories per day and am in maintenance. Good luck!

Haha... I'm pretty sure I will be weighing my food, forever.

@@OutsideMatchInside thank you for that! I weigh everything too! Sometimes I can eat my 5oz light & fit yogurt like its nothing, other days I struggle to eat 2oz. Glad my struggle is not an abnormal one. Lol thank you!
@@VSGAnn2014 thank you!

I'm 10 months out and can only eat 3 to 4 oz. I still weigh all my food.< /p>

I definitely find that things like tuna or refried Beans fill me up wayyyyyy more than yogurt

I had to calculate oz to grams. At the moment i can eat around 1/2 scrambled egg, 1/2 tin of tuna (maybe 1.5 oz?) Or around 2 oz of chobani yogurt with a scoop of Protein powder. But im only 3 weeks out haha

15 months out, 4-8 ounces it just depends on what it is.. Closer to the 8 ounces for most things though, i.e. I can usually eat most of a lean cuisine.. Things like salad and watermelon I can eat large amounts of. Also can eat large amounts of things like chips and sweets so I have to keep them VERY limited!! The honeymoon is def over but I am maintaining and very happy with my results!!

@@oscodagal Because you are so new, stick to the 4oz. limit. Weigh everything so that you can get use what food should be like.

I juuuust started being able to eat a whole egg. Something about the density just fills me up like crazy.

Regular yogurt yes but Greek yogurt no for me anyway. Its high in Protein and thick. The ones I eat are within the sugar & carb guidelines set out by my NUT.

My breakfast today was 2.5 ounces of smoked sausage and one fried egg. Stuffed.
7 months out.

I am almost 8 months out. I weigh or measure everything. I eat 3-4 ounces total max per meal between Protein then veggies if there's room. Breakfast is typically less then that. I can eat a 4-5 ounce Greek yogurt most days for an afternoon snack but there are days when I'm done at about half. It seems to be pretty normal for sleeved people to have slight variances from day to day on amounts that can be eaten.

I so needed to see this today! Just finished a 5 oz light Greek yogurt and the thought immediately in my head was - shouldn't that have been more difficult??! I was sleeved two weeks ago (5/10). I'm very focused on getting my Water and Protein in! Tomorrow I move to a phase 3 diet: puréed foods.

I cook most of my food at home so the weights I was talking about for Proteins was raw weight. Cooked weight is lighter, so I am probably eating closer to 3 ounces most of the time. When I have 3 ounces and its dry, that is eating grilled chicken out.

21 months post-op here.
6-8 ounces of Protein, veggies and whole grains.

10 months 4 ounces of dense foods. 4 weighed ounces, not in a cup. I weigh my food, I don't measuring cups or spoons.
I can eat up to 6 ounces if it is something that high moisture, like baked fish.
I eat about 85-90 grams of green leafy veggies at a time, in a cup that would be about 2 cups, they are sliders, though and don't trigger restriction.
If something is dry, max 3 ounces.
Your nutritionist is kind of right, but I would say at 6 months, not 3 months. Once you are fully healed, what your restriction is, can become different. There are some days you seem like a "bottomless pit" (not really not even close to regular people), and some days you can't eat much. It varies, but you have more room for things, and you will become more aware of the moisture content of food and how it relates to how much you can eat.

I have PCOS, I'm 25. Was sleeved January 15th and have lost 60lbs so far. Surgery works. Get it if you can. Trust your program and the food schedule.

I don't think I'll ever support Lululemon because of their attitude but fitting into their workout gear is definitely goal.
