Every body is different. I'm almost 6 weeks out and I've lost over 40lbs. I had a duodenal switch though, not just a VSG.

My doc says every meal should be 1/4 to 1/2 cup of food, but after 6 weeks I should be able to eat 1 whole cup of food, but nothing more than that, and it needs to be balanced for high Protein, moderate healthy fats, and little to no sugar.

So for you at 7 weeks, eating 3oz of food sounds fine, I think it's more about portion size and proportions of macros.

I told people it was "preventative" surgery. (It prevented me getting diabetes etc) nobody ever asked what it was preventing and accepted it at face value.

I'm almost 3 months out from loop duodenal switch surgery and jonesing for a BLT, club sandwich, heck even just half a slice with some Peanut Butter.< /p>
I certainly don't want to rush things. I was instructed to avoid bread, rice and Pasta for 3-6 months, but I've also read that toast isn't so bad? Is that just a myth you is there something legit in the toasting that isn't as bad as plain squishy bread?

Two month progress on duodenal switch surgery. White t shirt was the night before surgery, I weighed in around 287 if I recall, and I was about 235 in the black t shirt two months later. High weight about 60 days before surgery was 308.

Movement will help the most, so will gas relief tablets.

Hi everyone. Had my surgery on November 18th and down about 40lbs, plus 21 leading up to the surgery. I keep thinking someone's pranking my scale... But I'm down into slim/straight jeans, down 3 more notches on my belt, heck even dropped a shoe size! Also stalled in week 3 but needed to make an emergency trip to another country cause we almost lost my dad. Traveling and adjusting to new food lifestyle is hard!!

37 days since surgery and creeping up on week 6 foods. Tonight I had a few small bites of ham, cranberry sauce, and some white Beans for dinner, plus a 2 egg omelet with Dubliner cheese and green onions for Breakfast. Finding it hard to track macros and I always feel constantly behind on Water. (I think I'm just bored with plain water). Still drinking one or two Protein Shakes per day and loving the recipes folks post to help with variety. Gonna try a chocolate Protein Shake with some chilled Decaf in the morning.

Have to watch that I don't eat too quickly on yummy stuff. Gorged on 5 pieces of sashimi on Sunday and left half of it behind in the restaurant toilet. Sweet stuff turns my stomach. My sense of smell is in overdrive.

I'm loving the journey.

Happy holidays, hope you're all doing great!

I was 308 in early September. Surgery was Nov 18 and I was 287. Just over a month since surgery and I'm 250.5 today. Haven't taken any "after" pictures yet, but I will.
58 lbs, and 11 BMI points, gone forever!

I get up, do my business on the toilet, step to undies and a t shirt, and weigh. Then I weigh again, then enter that into my app. Every morning. I think I've only missed a few days since my surgery mid-November

I'm curious what this feels like and how it was detected. Are you able to share more about your experience?
