AMAZING how such a small amount if food fills me up! What fills you up?

You will have a new outlook on food and eating, I have no desire to eat and have to make sure I get my protein in. Also my family is eating healthier too!

10 weeks- one chicken taco. $3.25 (that is, a GOOD taco. not Taco Bell;)

Yeah, watch out for Taco Bell. Just one of those little crunchy tacos are 180+ calories. They really suck too.

I can eat 6 oz of yogurt at a time slowly, but only 3 oz of dense Protein. liquids? I am bottomless. I can see how one could drink themselves back to fat.

I am 8 days Post Op and can tell you I never realized how many food shows are on TV until this past week at home post op!

I, too, don' t have an issue with liquids--as long as I sip slowly and take small sips. That feeling of fullness is astounding me, too, especially when its just a few ozs. of plain vanilla yogurt.

My 14 day liquid Pre Op really opened my eyes to how much of my food issues were mental, so I have prepared myself to deal with this Post Op. I agree, sleeving for the brain would probably be a much better option.

We download most of our TV shows from the internet and they have the commercials cut out. So I won't be tempted or develop "head hunger" and cravings because of watching all the food commercials.

Not much at all. I can eat a couple Tablespoons of protein and a bit more if it's soup or soft. I'm 3 months out yesterday.

Funny--I got in the habit of using my DVR to watch TV and fast forward through the commercials during my Pre Op.

Boy, you make me feel like a pig. I just ate 4 oz. of chicken with a few green Beans. I'm just a little over 3 months out.

At 10 months out I now try to make sure my meals consist of some dense protien. I can eat one lean cuisine. I typically can only eat 3/4 of it, but I finish the rest overtime.

2.5 months post-op typical day:

Breakfast - 3 oz carbmaster yogurt,1 hard boiled egg, coffee

lunch - 2 oz meat, 1 hard boiled egg, small can of V8

afternoon snack - 5 Ritz crackers, 1 oz cheddar cheese

dinner - 3 oz meat, 1/4 cup veggies (if that)

dessert - 1/2 cup low fat frozen yogurt

Compared to what other people are eating, it looks like a lot. Compared to what I was eating pre-VSG, it's next to nothing. Note: I am not losing weight very quickly but I know that my metabolism is fooched.

I can finish 8 oz of protein shake no problem, hot cereals and soups 1/2 cup, dense food like meats/veggies about 1/4 cup, about 3 weeks out and 13 pounds down since surgery. I feel great!

I'm 3wks out and soup is super easy to eat, but I dnt attempt to eat anything but soup strained at that.

I'm fighting with constipation and feeling bloated. Any info on how to get the do done would be appreciated.

I take 2 fiber gummed I n the morning and miralax in my morning water and tonight I bought some milk of magnesia :-( sooo bloated!!! And have barely went!! Had a follow dr n appt with xrays and all is normal except this damn constipation!!!
