Not enough food

SO i was sleeved 12/10/2015 and I'm pretty much at the eat anything phase but according to the meal plan options my doctor gave me I should be able to eat like 2 scrambled eggs and a small banana for Breakfast but I literally can't finish one whole scrambled egg. Is that really bad?

We are all so different, especially earlier on when we are recovering from the surgery. I am still on 5 small meals a day, otherwise I wouldnt get all my Protein in (100 gr). You may find that you can eat more of one thing and not so much of another, so its a case of just trying to see what works and what doesnt. I had my surgery at the end of July last year and I am only at the stage of having two eggs scrambled and If I eat boiled eggs, I can only have one. Just go with what your body is telling you.

Congratulations :)

I'm 18 months out and there is NO WAY I could eat two eggs AND a banana for breakfast. That's a lot! I can eat maybe one egg with a little cheese on it and half a sausage patty these days....

I'm six and a half months out and I can only eat one scrambled egg with a little cheese. I would be in a world of hurt if I ate two plus a banana.

I think whoever wrote your meal plan has scrambled brains. Just sayin'.

My Doctor must've missed most of my stomach as I can easily hold that much food only 4 months out. Different strokes for different folks,,, or should I say different cuts for different nuts. :)

Eight months out and can easily eat two eggs and banana. But I DON'T.

I was sleeved 12/17 and I am right there with you. I can get down about 3/4 of an egg or half of a banana but anymore than that is out of the question!

Omg! Yes! Like I literally would hurt myself and throw up if i eat more. It's insane!

Yeah I guess whatever works for each individual!

I am four years out and probably couldn't finish that. Just eat what you can and make sure you are getting all of your protein.

Great! Thanks so much!

I'm four months out and I can eat a couple eggs. Im definitely full after that though. Not sure how much I could add beyond it.

I get a quarter banana in on many mornings in my protein shake smoothie. But that's blended.
