How much can u eat at 1 year out?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am about 14 months post op and feeling hungry pretty much all the time. I've found myself grazing alot and I was wondering what is the maximum amount of food those atleast one year out are able eat at one time.

About 6 oz is my limit. More dence foods a little less. I still try to portion out my food and store in small containers so I dont' overdo it.

The only time I feel the desire to graze is if I have carbs, or more carbs than usual. Thankfully I don't keep junk in the house.

I don't mean to sound bad but how much CAN you eat is the wrong question...it's how much should you eat.

Hunger all the time... I would check a few things.

Acidy tummy feels like hunger. Try adding a ppi for a few weeks

Are you hydrated? Thirst feels like hunger. Do you know how to Fluid load between meals to increase length of time before hunger?

Do you eat enough at a meal to feel satiated? Helps with grazing management.

Do you follow sleeve rules...protein first etc etc

Are you letting sugary or bad carb foods in? That makes me hungrier than anything. I even avoid most fruits as the sugar makes me hungry. bread Pasta taters....all make me hungry.

Could you be searching for emotional comfort in food again? The ole head hunger thing.

Anyway some things to think about. Hang in there!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
