When I was 6 weeks out I could eat 3-4 oz of most things...that really hasn't changed much (3 mos po), I'm probably 4-5 oz now

You didn't share why you think you are taking in too much, so I'm not sure if maybe it is because you are still on soft foods and not feeling the restriction, but I would suggest that you measure your portion and only give yourself 4oz of food....don't serve up a larger portion and figure that you will just eat until full

Oh, and really work on eating slowly...put fork down between bites, take smaller bites, set a timer, if necessary, for 15 or 20 minutes and work to not be done until timer goes off.

I am 19 weeks out and can just now eat 4-6 oz of yogurt with a little granola in it for crunch. lunch today, half a hamburger patty and 1 1/2 ish cups salad loaded with cheese, eggs, lite dressing. dinner last night, half a piece of fish and a few pieces grilled Tomato. Breakfast today, one scrambled egg with turkey sausage and grated cheese in it. Hope that helps. I know at first I could not finish a whole container of yogurt or pudding.< /p>

I am on a normal diet already and I can eat about 5 ounces of food depending on what it is. I can take very large drinks of Water no problem. I'm thinking he didn't make my stomach that small or something. I can definitely eat a thing of yogurt no problem

I can put away 4-6 oz. of yogurt without any problems, and I can do 3 oz. of fish or something like chicken salad, but anything more solid or dense like a grilled piece of chicken, beef or pork I am lucky if I can do 2 oz at a time. I have no issues with liquids and can drink mostly normally (other than stopping a moment every 5 swallows or so).

I'm one month out from surgery, now on normal foods and can pretty much eat what I like. I do have to be a bit careful with eggs for some reason, though!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
