How much are you able to eat at one time?



Recommended Posts

I am 3 months post-op and was wondering what everyone else is able to eat at one time. I can eat about a 1/2 cup of food at one time. What can you eat? :)

That sounds about right.. I am 6 mo's post op and eating more like a cup now.. Depends on what I am eating of course.. Dense Proteins are still around 2 - 3ozs max but other things are more like 6-8 ozs.

I'm almost 7 weeks out and my sleeve has made it quite clear that 1.5 oz. is my maximum:)

June 11th will be three years for me. Different food is different, but I can eat about 2/3's cup. I was told early on that he didn't EVER want me to eat more than a cup at a time. I still have good restriction, I tend to normally 'under eat' my sleeve, it's easy, I still have no REAL hunger. I hope and pray that I'll always eat this amount. I was HOPING I'd never be able to eat much more than a half cup. Oh well.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
