From what I have read is 30 grams. Otherwise your body just can not absorb it.

I think the question is more along the line of how many ounces can or should one consume...at 8 weeks, I believe i was between 2 an d4 ounces of anything. the amount really depended on what I was eating. yogurt, 2-3 ounces, Soup i could almost get 4, cottage cheese or any other cheese was closer to 2. you are on the right track. keep it up! :)

I'm almost 6 months post-op and I can still only do between 2 and 4 ounces of meat at a time, depending on what type of meat and how it's prepared.

For eight weeks post op I think you are right on track! Keep doing your best to be the best you!

You are ok with that amount, but i would suggest not hitting the feeling ill point for numerous reasons; develop good habits, dont stretch your sleeve, etc.... Enjoy being full quickly now and dont push it unnecessarily. Remember you are in a honeymoon phase the first 9 months or so. Loose all you can now while ot is easiest.

grams of Protein per meal? 30 grams, more than that your body doesn't absorb it all (as studies say)

ounces of high Protein food? at 8 weeks out 2-3 ounces of meat such as chicken or tuna (which is roughly 30g!)

I think you're on the right track.

And with chicken, for instance, 4oz can give you 23g of Protein.< /p>

I liked to melt a little cheese on top to kick it up to 30g.

But just stop eating as soon as you feel full.

Eat what you can without being uncomfortable.

If it 2-3 oz, it's 2-3 oz!

Do not force anything.

      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! 😞
