I'm 2 1/2 months out and was wondering around that time how many ounces (or whatever form of measurement you use to measure food lol) were you eating? I'm eating no more than 2 ounces for anything solid, and if it's Soup or soft (yogurt, hummus, etc) 4 ounces. I just wanted to see how I compared to other people! I'd love to hear from everyone! Thanks!

I was about the same. 1/2 cup or so if softer foods. 2-3oz of dense Proteins.< /p>

So when do you notice a real change in capacity, in terms of how much food you can get into your stomach? And can I ask how far out are you currently, and what's your normal serving size?

Hmm, I probably eating more then you.

I notice that I can eat 4 oz of liquefied food ( like soup/yogurt/etc) but solid food I usually can eat only 2 oz of Protein ( like fish/meat/cheese) but in addition I can eat another 3 oz of tomatoes. or 2 oz of veggies like squash/zucchini.

and Once I was so hungry that I ate 9 oz of tomatoes with fresh mozzarella. I was sure that I will return everything right away but it went down smoothly and I didn't feel any discomfort. but after that I never had another 9 oz again.

I'm about 4.5 months out now. I can do about 4oz of dense Protein, or about 8oz os softer foods. It was about 3-3.5monts when it seemed to take an overnight jump.

9 months out and I can have 4oz of soft protien, 2-4 otherwise...

...now, here is the tricky thing...I can have more, but I don't need it to feel full, and i think more is directly related to me feeling bad later,next day even.

I would keep you portions as modest as you can to satiate your hunger. measure before you eat! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
