I am having my sleeve done Monday. I am curious as to what everyone's typical meal is like after surgery (after the 3 weeks on liquids/soft foods, once you can eat normal foods again). What do you normally eat, and how much? How much does it take before you have to stop due to feeling full?

I am excited to get this feeling for once!!

My tastes in food changed quite a bit and rapidly, too. My pre-op comfort food was anything cereal/grain/bread-based but now, it's not even on the radar. I am totally fine with any protein food, vegetables and fruits. Grains (meaning oatmeal, flax, etc.) are last but I do try to have something from each of these groups every day. Not easy - there is little room. So to answer the question, I really don't eat more than 1/2c - max 2/3c - at a time. I can feel the fullness right away and all systems say STOP. Good luck.

I am about 3 months out and I have lost about 30 pounds from 230 to 200. I lost about 24 in the first 6 weeks and about 6 in the second 6 weeks.

I usually do an powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shake (1 cup fat free milk w/powder) or 2 eggs for Breakfast. I am trying to go to one egg and one egg white instead of two eggs.

I can eat about the equivalent of 1 cup of food for my other two meals. I eat on average 80% to 95% meat per meal.

Sometimes, I have another Protein Shake in the afternoon or a yogurt, popsicle or ice-cream after dinner. Sometimes I have wine as well...mea culpa....

Almost without exception, I am hungry again in about an hour after I eat. No matter how much I drink, I still stay hungry. I think drinking can actually make me more hungry. I am going to talk to my doctor about acid in my stomach at my 3 month appointment to see if it is responsible for my hunger.

Good luck!!!!!

Went out to dinner last night. I had most of my salad. Lettuce chews down to nothing so I can eat a lot of salad. I ate all my veggies and about 2/3 of my teriaki (sp?) steak.
