How Much Can You Eat At A Time 1 Year Out?



Recommended Posts

I'm a low BMI-er, was 205 now 145 5'0". Still need to lose 15-20. I'm almost 10 months out. I can ... As best as I can figure bc I haven't weighed my food... Eat about 6-8 oz. at a time depending in what it is. When I go out to eat like tonight for instance I ate 3-4 bites of spinach dip with a small chip, 4 bites/pieces of salad, I sliver/half of a small lobster tail, and 3-4 bites of my steak ... All a little spaced out of course. I still eat whatever I like of of course much less and I stay full a lot longer between meals. I don't wanna feel line I'm on a never ending diet! I was just curious now much others can or do eat??? Of course if I were more diligent about what I eat and exercised.... Which I barely have I would probably be at goal now, but even though slower I think I will !!!! Just wanna hear from others and how they "live with" the sleeve.

I was sleeved 9/26 and I can eat one drumstick and one or two bites of a thigh and also about 1/4 cup of vegetables and a 1/4 of starch. Or I can eat about a cup or a little more of Soup. I can have one soft chicken taco. I love that I can have things I like, feel full and still lose weight. I think I'm going to tighten up and have more meals that are Protein Shakes to try to make the weight come off a little faster. They fill me up and I like them. I have continued to have shakes for Breakfast and now I'm going to have them for lunch and have small Snacks like yogurt, fat free cottage cheese with no sugar added fruit or low fat string cheese. And then have a regular - but still low carb and somewhat low fat for dinner. Maybe then I can lose more than 1 lb a week.

I did a shake for breakfast for several months but i may start back for my New Years Resolution lol. Good to hear I'm pretty normal. I also can eat 1 taco, or about 1/2 to 3/4 of a small burger. I usually eat half all together then wait while and eat the other half of the meat. Or else my dog get a treat! They get lotsa treats now ;)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
