I will be sleeved next week. I was wondering what eating is like 6, 9, 12, or more months after the surgery. How much are you eating for a meal? How many bites? Do you feel like you are deprived because you are not able to eat more? I'm worried that I will have this new world of feeling constantly deprived.

Just curious.

I was sleeved June 17. I eat about 1 cup of food at a meal. I very seldom feel deprived. I can eat just about everything only small amounts. This is the best decision I have made for my health and don't regret anything about it. I have lost 68lbs so far. Almost half way to my goal. Good luck.

I'm 3 1/2 mths post op and I never measure or weight anything. I go by what my tummy tells me. I take a bite. Put the fork down, Chew, chew, chew. Take another bite and go on...till I get that little nagging "I think u've had enuf" from my tummy.

Today I actually counted the bites on my soft chicken taco. 4. 4 bites. About 1/2 of a small taco. Got 2 free tacos at Del Taco for signing up online with them. Thats 3 more meals for me.

Just to give u an idea...

I am 3 months out and just like marfar above, I do not measure or weigh anything at this point. I am still barely able to get 1.5-2 oz of protein in. I can sometimes eat 1 whole meatball or 4 or 5 bites of chicken. That is about all and most times I don't have room for any veggies. Sometimes it bothers me that I can't eat more but most of the time I am just amazed that I can feel completely satisfied after that small amount. I plan to take advantage of my restriction for as long as I can!

I'm 5 months out on Sunday and down 84 lbs! I don't measure either. I can feel when it's time to stop. Rarely I go passed that point and oh my! It's not fun! You will get the feel of everything as you go along. Last Sunday after church I had a treat meal at Taco Bell. 1 taco and one piece of the chicken quesadilla. It was the perfect amount and oh so yummy!!

I find that too. I don't measure but I know by the feeling when I have had enough to eat. You only have to eat too much once and then you can judge when to stop before you get to that point. I've been there twice and don't want to do it again.
