Hello friends,

I am a little over a month out and seem to eat maybe 3-4 oz a meal. But get hungry like 2 hrs later...my doctor said that was normal and said to eat 5 meals everyday. But that seems like so much. I know i could eat that much, but don't want to stretch my tummy. Wish i could see my sleeve, how food goes in, so i know exactly how much is ok. Can you tell me how much you ate one month out?? And how often? Thank you!

I hope this is me too! I'm 3 weeks out and feel like I can eat a lot. But it's only the meat that makes me feel full. Also Protein shakes fill me up. But I've been eating avocado and eggs, ricotta bake, and I feel like I'm hungry away. just had maybe a little OVER half a cup of ground turkey with lemon and cilantro and feel perfectly satisfied. I need to start measuring I guess. Years of out of control portions really mess with you.

At one month I was still on mushies,, I was lucky to get in 4 tlbs full of food if that.

I know, a lot of people can't eat much that early out. Strangely, I kinda' felt disappointed that I wasn't experiencing some of the same problems other newly sleeved people were! (now I am thankful!)

I thought maybe my Dr. didn't make my sleeve small enough/right, lol. I've found out he did dense protein/real food = restriction lol

From the beginning I was able to get all of my Water in, and pureed food just went right through me, between the diarrhea and lacking nutrients/+hunger I progressed myself to softer meats and foods faster and it was good for me. I've had zero issues mainly because I listen to my body/sleeve and with all of the knowledge I've gained here nothing came as a surprise! I guess I didn't have any swelling at all! As of today I am down 24 lbs. post op/ 40 lbs. w/pre op diet, and I feel GREAT!
