I was watching vsg journey vids on YouTube and came across a guy from Chicago that is 2half years out and can now eat a steak meal, and I'm talking a 10oz steak with baked potato and veg, how is that possible? Also seen the DR weinman vid and he said research shows after 5 years bariatric patients can eat a full plate of food, any veterans out there who can confirm this?

Confirmed at 3.5 years. Not sure about a 10 oz steak AND the whole potato, but I could do damage to both. However, even though I've eaten 1.5-2 cups, I don't make a habit of it. Some people have more restriction, but pretty much everyone has increased capacity compared to the first year.

Yes I think he might of been eating larger portions for some time and maybe stretched his sleeve, my bariatric team said it's possible to stretch if you don't stick to the plan.

I'm 4 years out. I can still only eat about 3-4ounces of Protein. I still have very good restriction with protein dense meals.

I'm 1.5 years out and there is absolutely no way I would be able to eat a steak dinner in 6 more months, or for a very long time, if ever. I still max out at 4 oz of anything, sometimes sooner with really dense protein.
