Hello, I was sleeved just over a week ago and I have a question I hope you all can help me with. I often heard and read of forums just like this one about people only being only able to eat 2 spoonfuls of yogurt or 1/2 cup of sugar free jello then getting so full they cant take another bite. My question is this an exaggeration? I only ask because I was expecting this but I find myself being able to eat a whole cup of sugar free jello or pudding and feeling like I can eat more. Make me wonder if my surgeon left my stomach to big, i'm a bit concerned. please help thanks

I'm 2.5 weeks post-op. My first week out I could only eat maybe a half an ounce of anything at a time, Jello or otherwise. I could eat ice chips in a larger quantity, but could only swallow tiny sips of Water.

I can eat a bit more now, but still nowhere near a cup. Over about 45 minutes I ate 2.5 oz of Greek yogurt for Breakfast. lunch was a slice of reduced fat deli cheese with a little dab of light sour cream and about 2 oz of some black bean goop I make. I gave my dog about 1/4 of the cheese. I finished everything else and it took me about an hour.

For dinner I had a light babybel cheese, I'd been craving one, and at 6g Protein per cheese, it's good enough. I believe they're 3/4 oz. I'm completely full, but not hurting. In about an hour I'll have an 11 oz Protein Drink which will probably take me about an hour to finish.

Anything I make I portion into 4 oz plastic cups and fill them halfway, so I know for sure how much I'm eating (and how much protein is in it). I have jello divided the same way. I can eat 2 oz of jello in about 20 - 30 mins now.
