I guess it doesn't matter, but I am curious. I'm 3 wks out and on soft foods per my surgeon. The amount I can eat varies not only from day to day but from food type to food type. Yesterday I could barely get down 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt in one sitting. Today I ate a 2 egg omelette (w/a touch of cheese). There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. Some days I can eat more of a food than I did previously and vice-versa. Not worried, just find it odd and wondered if those with more experience with their sleeves could shed some light.

@@songsmith - I was the same way, if that helps. I am 10 months post.

This may not be what you are experiencing but for me I noticed it was related to the density of the food. The more dense the less it took before I was full.

I'm still that way at almost three years out. I call them my "feeding" days and my "non-feeding" days. Sometimes I can eat two eggs, sometimes I can't finish one. It's a weird thing.

That said, at three weeks out, your stomach is still healing. I would advise against eating a two egg omelet with cheese. That's a LOT of food for your newly stapled tummy. Your incision is delicate and still a bit numb. Measure out your portions and time your meals. That's too much food in one sitting (in my opinion) for your stage of the game.

I honestly thought I'd wind up feeding half the omelette to the dog and was surprised I felt no discomfort when I have when eating other foods. I'm still learning to find that point between satisfied and "OMG I should not have eaten that last bite."

I am one month out and I cant even finish one scrambled egg. Today at work my boss ordered pizza and mini buffalo wings for the office. I literally couldnt even get down one whole mini buffalo wing. I would count yourself lucky because atleast you are able to get more of your daily Protein in with food and not having to substitute with what seems like a gazillion nasty Protein shakes like me. Good luck fellow sleever! Take care.

I am one month out and had a mini gastric bypass. I can barely get a whole scrambled egg down. I can only eat about 1/2 of a yogurt. I notice I can eat more in the evening for dinner than I can during the day when I am taking in my Protein with one morning shake and one early afternoon shake.
