I am able to eat 1/2 cup of protein per sitting and a bite or two of veggies. I see people on here saying how they are only able to take a bite or two of food etc. How much could you consume at about two months out. I'm worried I am able to eat too much!!!

I actually have the same question I'm 3 weeks out and yeah I can also eat the same amount or more. I'm pretty scared that I'm over eating

Me too!!! Someone give us advice, please!

Two weeks post op. I was able to my first hard boiled egg today. No issue finishing it.

I am 6 weeks out and have found that it all depends on how much you chew. The more you chew your food the more you can eat. I have just started to eat normal so it is new to me. I am able to eat a whole boiled egg but it takes me quite some time. I have to pace myself. My dr said to make sure you sit down and give yourself a good 20 minutes to eat.

I'm two weeks out and have no trouble "eating" 3-4 ounces of liquid/mushy food (like yogurt, pudding, baby food, etc.), although not in a hurry. I'm getting more than necessary water/Crystal Light in as well, can do 20 oz over a couple of hours. However, I tried a thicker crab chowder two nights ago and could only get a couple teaspoons down. Seems like I'll have no issue with liquids and will have to watch those calories, but more solid food just sits there and gives me hiccups.

I am about 10 weeks out now and can eat just about anything I want in the 5-8oz range. I have never really had problems eating anything from the very first day either.

I can eat 2 hard boiled eggs (chewed very good) in about 30 minutes. I made some chicken (fully cooked, frozen in a bag) with some cheese the other night and was able to eat about a cup of it and had about a half cup left over for lunch.

I agree, the more you chew, the more you can eat on some things. I am a fast eater and have to watch myself alot. I cannot tolerate sweets with my sleeve and I absolutely have to wait 30 minutes before drinking after eating with my sleeve or I find that it comes right back up. This could be due to me having a pouch from the 17yr old band that was there.

I love my little sleeve. It might seem like you are eating too much but really, if you track your intake/calories in MyFitnessPal, you will see how little you are still eating. I have also found that I am a sloooooow loser on the scale but I am dropping inches like crazy.

If you think you are eating too much, get you a little bowl that is 4-6 oz and measure your food that way. That will really help you put into perspective how much you arent really eating! (Considering I used to eat a 10pc chicken mcnugget, large fries and large coke from McDonalds like my husband does!)

Just remember to Keep Rockin' Your Sleeve!!!!
