6 weeks post op...can't tolerate as much food

[Pillar2butterfly 391]

Perhaps this has been discussed before, if so, my apologies...

I'm 6 weeks post sleeve...losing fine, plowed through first stall...eating 60 g low fat Protein daily (meats, eggs, etc), little to no carbs, working out for a hour 5 days a week. However, it seems like now, after being on this diet for over 2 weeks, I seem to not be able to eat as much as I did 2 weeks ago. I was eating 2.5-3.5 oz of protein (like diced chicken or shrimp)...now I can barely get in 2 oz and I'm feeling that really full feeling, almost to nausea. I chew to applesauce consistency and still get this feeling....so I cut back, and eating more often. Is this normal after eating more amount for a couple weeks, and then not being able to eat as much?

But even that leaves me to another issue....since I eat more often, but less each time, having to wait 30-45 minutes to drink in between, I'm now struggling to get in the 64 oz of Water. Good grief, it's like I am constantly putting something in my mouth! (this part was merely a rant)

Congrats on your journey!

I am experiencing some issues with eating too. I barely can tolerate two bites and I feel nausea, so still been supplementing with Protein shakes to get to the 60g

Yesterday I tried ground chicken breast and it worked so much better for me. I too can barely get 64oz of Water.

Hope this is a passing phase

It is probably normal.. the honeymoon period begins!

I know not everyone agreed with this, but i had to have at least one low carb Protein drink a day to hit Protein targets.

I am about to move to the soft food stage and somehow I am supposed to be getting vegetables in. Right now I am in the pureed stage and the only way I can get all my Protein in is by drinking Protein Shakes. I am so sick of those shakes. The volume of food I can eat is so small that I am worried about being able to tolerate an advance in my diet.

I'm in the soft food stage and not able to eat much. I have 1 Protein Shake and it fills me up. I feel like i'm not getting enough nutrients, eventhough I'm never hungry. Any advice?
