Surgery 3 weeks ago my doctor allows us patients to advance a stage so I had Beans swrimp with a little melted cheese but I think just the swrimp would be enough I'm so full...I'm still learning

Of course I chew a lot I added the bean because eating only 3 swrimp for dinner I'm afraid to faint

I had surgery about 3 weeks ago and I am still adjusting to the portions of food . So don't feel alone in this .

If you feel weak, add Protein shakes between meals if your doctor allows that. You are going to feel to weak the first month but I don't think you'll faint. To me, that seems like a lot of food for 3 weeks out.

I always "over portion" on accident. Like looking at three shrimp and being like ... No way will this be enough. Then after 2 I'm like "omg no more food!!!"

We will get there :)

Most other stuff I try to measure out. I generally eat 1/2 cup or 4 oz for each meal. Rarely can go over that. 8 oz Protein shake takes me about 45 - 60 mins to complete.

I'm 4 weeks out and think that the amount on your plate is fine... at least for my plan. I'm on soft foods and my plan calls for 2 one-half cup servings per meal. I can't do it. Not even close. I'm learning to listen to my body. That's a hard thing to do!

      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! 😞
