2 cups is way too much. 3-4 ounces is what you should be sticking too.

2cups of exactly what food?

I am a year out, but from very early on I could eat a 6 oz. yogurt, but only 2-3 oz of more dense Protein like meat. Everyone's volume or capacity is a little different.

Just make sure you are getting 70-90 grams of protein and log everything you eat on My Fitness Pal or some other site. Eat protein first ALWAYS and stay away from sugars, white flours, white rice, etc. They are simple carbs that turn to sugar too easily and are not nutritious.

Some are told not to count calories, but a couple months out I was getting 500-600 calories. From 5 months to now I have been getting 700-800 calories a day. I also eat under 30 grams of fat and less than 47 grams of carbohydrates.You're mileage will vary.

I am female and 5'1".

2cups of exactly what food?

Actually I can drink 2 cups n eat vegetables around one and half..is it ok...n sometimes especially after stools..I m very hungry

I've never had any restriction of liquids at all. And as far as veggies go, I think you are fine. Veggies usually have a lot of Water in them, plus, if you are talking about salads or the like, 2 cups really doesn't amount to much.

The only thing that concerns me is you never mentioned Protein. Make sure your Proteins are addressed before veggies.

It depends what type of vegetarian you are. If dairy and eggs are okay then:

Nonfat or lowfat Greek yogurt (best), eggs, skim, 1% or 2% milk, almond milk, cottage cheese (1% or 2%), cheese, nuts, seeds and legumes/beans. If you can eat fish and shell-fish then no problem. They are a great source of Protein. Ahi tuna (real stuff, not canned tuna) is best followed by salmon and then on down.

Quinoa is the grain highest in protein, but carbs and calories are dense.

I really wouldn't think vegan will do for us. There are vegan sleevers, but being vegetarian is hard enough to get the protein in without taking out all animal products.

Make sure you use whey isolate Protein powder for your shakes. If you don't want it based on milk or eggs there are rice based ones available.

It all depends on how far out from surgery you are.

Just curious, didn't any of your surgeons give you post-op eating directions?

My best recommendation is Nutiva Hemp Protein 15g. Here's a link to some.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001OHX1ZY

I would also add some soy, TVP (textured vegetable protein), tofu, nuts, legumes, & bean curd.

There are also vegetable protein blends available.

If you are near or in a decent size town or city I'd take a trip to my local natural food store. Akins is a chain of these. They will have knowledgable people on staff that can help you with what's available locally.

Thank u but I live in India ,would definitely try protien shakes

Yes! They did ,just wanted to know d reasons of pouch stretching ??

Sleevers do not have pouches. We still have our stomachs, albeit smaller. They do not stretch per se. As you heal the sleeve will give a little bit, but not much. The stretchy part was removed during surgery.
