How much lean protein can you eat at one sitting?



Recommended Posts

I'm curious - how far out are you from surgery and how much lean Protein can you eat at one sitting?

I'm 8 weeks today, and can eat two to three ounces of fish or chicken in one sitting, closer to two usually.

Thanks!

Sounds about right. I am 5.5 months out and I can eat 5 oz. Depending on what is though .... some things I can only eat 3, some 5.

Thanks for these answers! I'm just trying to figure out how to get enough Protein in, because I'm off dairy (reflux) and can't do the Isopure or milk-based shakes.

So I'm trying to figure out how to get it all in by the end of the day.

Im 6 weeks out and I can eat 4 - 4.5 oz of food total (including veggies or whatever my side is). My doc just told me no more than 5... shouldnt be a problem cuz 4 usually fills me - I still have the old mental fight with myself to not eat more if it tastes super yummy though. So far I've been good!

I'm two months out and I can eat about 4 ounces of hamburger or turkey burger. I can eat about 6 oz of chili because it is so much more moist. Even though I can eat 6 oz of chili, I usually restrict myself to 4 oz. Have you tried adding Protein Powder to pudding as one way of getting in more Protein? Also keep scrambled eggs in mind as well.

      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! 😞
