1 month post op...what is everyone eating and how much?

Hi! Had surgery on 9/17. Just curious what and how much people are eating. I find that yogurt does down..no problems. When I eat solid food, I get a "full" feeling after a couple of small bites (not even an ounce) but I eat more because I wouldnt be getting anywhere near the 65 g. of protein. The feeling doesn't get worse until I eat a couple of ounces (volume not weight) and I know it is time to stop. Does anyone get that "full" feeling after a 2 or 3 bites of food, that stays that way until you eat a couple of ounces? Does that go away?

I was sleeved on 9/9 so I'm about 5.5 weeks out. I'm also good with yogurt but solid food still does not feel great to eat. I haven't been getting enough protein either, which is something I need to work on. I have found that I can eat a bit more of chicken (as opposed to a bite or two) when it is super moist as opposed to grilled. Also...beans have a reasonable amount of protein and those do not give me the same stomach-choking feeling as most meat does.

it depends on what is eaten. i can eat one scrambled and and feel pretty good. i've had chili, tuna salad and very over cooked vegetables. chicken has to be moist. if meat is dry i can barely eat any of it. i haven't tried anything like pasta, mash potatoes, rice or crackers. i've read alot of people have problems with carbs feeling them up real quickly. i had surgery on 9/24

My surgery was 9/23 and I just began pureed foods this week. Refried beans, chicken, cottage cheese with a scoop of vanilla protein powder (tastes like cheesecake) and homemade applesauce have all worked well. The problem is, I lost 20 pounds pretty quickly and have been stalled since October 10th. I was hoping the switch to pureed foods might help get the scale moving but no such luck. I know I am getting enough protein but maybe too many carbs?
