Hi everyone,

I got sleeved on September 7, 2012 and at first I wasn't able to eat anything, the first 4 days I was sipping fluids down, but now I'm nearly 6 weeks out and I'm able to eat aroun 4-6 ounces! I'm not sure if that's a good thing considering that I was so "used" to eating only about 2 ounces. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or your situation around your portion meal?

Thankyou!!

What kind of texture is it? Is it soft foods like yogurt? Pureed? Dense proteins like chicken?

I am eating about 2000 cals a day. I don't have a number in ounces. I have weighed the same since April at this point- very ok with that!

they say by 6 months you should be able to eat a cup of food. I can eat 4 oz of cottage cheese but only 2oz of chicken. I am out 35 days.

@Ms Skinniness yes, I've been eating like turkey ground meat, soft shrimp, grilled or steamed veggies... last night my parent made shrimp cocktail and my mom served me about a little over a full cup and I was able to eat with rather quickly and effortlessly without hurting my tummy or having a sensation of feeling full. But I was surprised and was think, "damn, did I stretch out my sleeve" hahaha I hope not, but iguess we all think that at one point.

I'm 6 weeks out and I can't eat pastas or breads or anytime of heavy chunky meat, I guess its good, but I can have 4oz. tiny ground beef meatballs. and a full cup serving of veggies.

I am 1 year post op and I can eat what your eating right now. I am working on slowing down between bites as directed by my surgeon's office. It's hard. I in now way want to eat a lot of food, but I do want to basically maintain.
