... which has 2 toasts!! ...

Huh?

An egg scrambled and placed between two slices of toast? Regular bread?

And when you say omelette, I think of a couple eggs, cheese, onions, peppers ...

So, if you are eating my definition of what you are talking about, then yes, that seems like an awful lot one month out.

I don't think you should be eating that much bread in one sitting. Maybe 2 eggs and half a slice of toast, eat the eggs first, chew well. If there is room left and you're not full, have the toast slowly

The egg will keep you full longer than the bread. Try to eat Proteins, usually meats, first. And if there is room and you're not full, add the bread. Try half a slice at first and go from there

I'm wondering how you didn't repeat it up and get the slimes....slimes were the worst in the first few months....are you getting alot of thick saliva in the back of your throat? If so those are the slimes and and an indication you are eating too much. The bread is a slider food so it just slides right through your sleeve this could be why you are eating alot. And it is indeed too much i"m just wondering why you are not reacting. You might want to ask your doctor about that. Perhaps you have a longer sleeve....if your sleeve is longer you just might have a larger capacity for food....however even if the sleeve is longer you are still swollen from the surgery and def should not be able to get in that much food....

I am 7 months out and have not had bread, no desire. I would definitely eat the egg and leave the bread to maximize your weight loss in the first 6 months.

An hour is probably too long to eat once you are a month out, especially if you are able to eat those types of foods. I'm 8 weeks out now, and I stop eating after about 25-30 minutes and I am always full. I could probably have room to keep eating again about half an hour after that, but that would defeat the purpose of having the sleeve. Plus you need time to get in your fluids.

I am still not sure what "toasts" means. Regular white bread, Melba toast? I am 8 weeks out and cannot eat bread. Maybe half a slice of very toasted toast, but the one egg would fill me up and then the toast would not fit. Bread is not a slider food for me. It is a painful food to avoid. I guess it just goes to show how different each person is. But, I am intrigued and interested to know what "toasts" means.

I am 10 months out and still could not eat a one egg sandwich with two slices of toast. I am amazed that many sleevers push so fast to see how much they can eat and what solid foods they can consume. For me, the point of this sugery was at least in part to NOT be able to eat like I have for too long, which is what got me to the unhealthy place I was in. Many of us have a window of opportunity in the first few weeks to months post surgery where we just don't feel serious stomach hunger. Why push cheeseburgers, pizza, bread, etc. so soon. At one month, I was barely tolerating liquids and having serious problems getting in maybe 20 - 30 g protien and 16 - 20 oz of Fluid each day. I am pleased that I am still having problems consuming my minimum 60 - 80 g protien each day and don't want to push my self to eat more. I want to make the most of this opportunity to reach a healthy (and maybe even normal) weight.

Didn't mean to get on my soap box here, or offend anyone, I just feel enormously greatful for what this surgery has done for me and want everyone to get the most they can from this surgery.

My apologies to the OP, but has anyone reflected on

as to the OP's use of punctuation?

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
