3 Weeks Out And Can Eat An Medium Sized Egg



Recommended Posts

without any problems or discomfort. It keeps me full for at least 2-3 hours.

I can also eat about 1/2 of a small can of tune with a little olive oil mayo + pickle relish.

No problems with liquids. They go down pretty easily. Of course, no eating and drink at the same time.

How does that rank up there, in terms of volume, with others in that stage?

Sounds about where I was (that is myTuna recipe) I was eating a couple of reduced fat triscuits with it . I'm just 9 months out and can't finish One can and 5 crackers I can eat about one egg scrambled with small Greek yogurt,but a boiled egg fills me can't fit the yogurt. Are you eating lentils? lots of Protein and Fiber they became a go to food for me at about three weeks. Good luck!!

I was sleeved on 8/17 and so far about the same as you. I measure the portions and can tolerate between 1/4 to 1/2 cup. So far have been really fortunate no n/v, and no abd pain. If I do start to get full start to have hiccups. lowfat ricotta cheese and pizza sauce is good as well.

Sounds about right.

And as time passed, I could eat more and more, and that worried me that I would not or would stop losing weight. But that has not happened. I now lose more slowly, but I'm good with that.

About 5 1/2 months out.

Same as I was. I'm almost 5 months out now, and my capacity is still that small. I'm not complaining. :)

Wow Cara, I was actually hoping to be able to eat more at 6 months out. I dont know if I can survive on Protein shakes and 500 - 600 cals a day forever.

When do we start to get more eataing capacity back.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
