Long term vsg food consumption



Recommended Posts

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.

Hi

Any words of wisdom?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
