How much are you able to eat?



Recommended Posts

I'm now 6months out since surgery. I'm curious as to how much are others eating. I've noticed that I can eat 4-5oz.

I am 27 months out and can eat 8 to 10 ounces at one sitting.

I'm starting my 8th week and I can eat 3-4 oz Protein. Or I can eat 6 oz Okios yogurt or about 5 oz of cottage cheese.

Almost 10 months out and I can eat 3-4oz of lean Protein with 2-3 oz of veggies on the side, so anywhere from 5-7oz of food in one sitting.

My approach is to eat specified amounts of food, not what I "can" eat and not eating until I am "full." With that said, I eat 4 oz of cottage cheese at one meal, 3 oz of chicken or salmon with 1 oz of green Beans at a meal, 2 oz of hamburger steak with 1 oz of green beans at a meal, etc. I eat 8 times per day, about 2 hours apart. As I have moved along (I'm 9 months post-op now), I have added calories by adding meals, not adding food to existing meals.

Everything for me is about oz of food, fl oz of Water, and target macros.

If I ate 8 times a day, I'd never find time to drink! Lol.

I'm 3.5 months out, and eat the same thing each day:

Breakfast: 4oz cottage cheese

Lunch: 1 egg and 4oz Beans

Snack: 1oz nuts and piece of fruit

Dinner: 3-4oz meat or fish

Snack: 4 oz cooked spinach

Most days I miss at least one meal or snack. The missed food is what I eat for Breakfast the next day so I'm making sure I get my nutrients.

My kitchen scale had given up the ghost, so I went without for a few weeks. I got a new one, and it works much better! So happy! I've gotten pretty good at guestimating 4 oz, but like having the scale.

I use containers to measure my ounces. I have 2 oz and 3 oz cups and 4 oz ramekins.

I am over 3 months out and I can only eat 2 - 3 oz depending on the Protein. Fish and turkey (3oz) but chicken (2oz). Vegetables as Snacks (3oz).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
