I Can Eat A Lot.

[Valeriesaum 2]

I'm 4 weeks out and am only supposed to be eating 2 ounces. But I have no problem eating 4. Maybe more, but I haven't pushed it.

I started on solids today and it was better, but not much. I'm eating slowly. This worries me. I hear so many people say they barely get their 2 oz in and feel like they're gonna vomit.

Anyone have this problem?

I am 4 weeks out today and worry about the same thing. I feel like I can eat 4 ounces. Do you get hungry within an hour or 2 of eating?

I am 5 weeks out and I can barely get in 1/4 cup of Soup, and I can get in about 1 to 1 to 1.25 ounces of tuna with ff mayo & 3 teaspoons of 1% cottage cheese.

I also had hernia repair, adhesion removal and some serious complication that caused my surgery to run to 7 hours, when the anesthesiologist dropped the esophageal tube into my stomach while the doctor was stapling and it got stapled in me. It took 5 hours for them to remove it and I think there was some compromise of the size going from my esophagus into my stomach, though I was told there was none.

I just started pureed foods so it's definitely harder to tell. I was only able to eat 1/2 cup of sf pudding at a time, but I did get an entire pudding cup down, so that's a big improvement for me.

I have Lupus, so I think I'm a slower healer also.

It really depends on what you are eating.

There are some things I can eat quite a bit of, but foods that are dense in Protein are usually very limited in quantity.

I found that refried Beans tend to fill me up very quickly. Even at 11 months out, I can't eat 3 ounces of them.

I'm glad I am not the only one who is hungry. I get full and the next thing I know, I'm hungry!

How much are you all eating? And what types of food? Can you give me a basic breakdown?

[butterbean 30]

I'm 6 weeks out and I eat 9 tbsp of soft scrambled egg whites, 4 oz of tilapia, 3 oz of chicken. I haven't really had any red meat yet. I eat half a can of tuna (with a little mayo and pickle relish), 2 light cheese sticks, 1 chobani champ (for kids), etc. I would say I can handle 4 oz of most things, but the tilapia seems be the lightest. I eat a little creamed spinach with that. I do not ever get hungry. I have to make myself eat so I get my Protein in.

What size bougie did each person have?

I had 3 oz of yogurt for bfast, 3 oz of mashed potatoes with a little bit (1oz) of roasted pork for lunch, decried Beans with more pork for dinner.< /p>

I also get hungry in between.

OMG that sounds terrible.

The mistake made by the anesthesiologist definitely yes, but regarding food, I was never a big eater, I was just a big girl. I never ate Breakfast, lunch or Snacks, just dinner and I had zero metabolism.

I also just moved to purees so instead of starting with light things, I went right to tuna and mayo, which is a lot denser, so it's a learning curve. I should have started with a few teaspoons of refried Beans instead of a heavier meat.

I would still do the surgery again, my surgeon was awesome and even with the complication it was worth it.

[kamrie37 134]

I have no idea what size bougie I have. I just ate my dinner and I only ate 2 oz of the meatloaf.

My counts for the day:

430 calories 37 carbs 8 fat and 51 Protein.

[backtolife 5]

I think I eat a lot compared to others that are nearly 5 months out.

B- silk chocolate soy drink 6 oz before work out

L- 4 oz refried Beans with cheese n sour cream

D- about 4 oz broccoli n beef . Forgot to measure ate right from take out container

S- grande nonfat carmel macchiato from Starbucks

S- 1 cup all natural aged white cheddar pop corn.

I'm not full. I just no I've had enough bad stuff today. So sip sip sip the rest of the night.
