I finally reached solids stage. Felt like forever to get here but i am glad i get to try out food to see what i can tolerate and what i can't. Now that i am here in solids it feels weird in the sense that I feel like i don't have gastric bypass surgery. I say this because food is going down well and have not had my first dumping syndrome event yet. Im struggling with how much food should i be eating. According to the paperwork of the nutritionist they recommend about one cup of food per meal. Don't know if that is alot to eat or is it normal. Also i feel less hunger and have to force myself to eat because i don't feel hunger.. also when it comes to drinking liquids now all is going down very normal which i guess is a good thing. Any feedback would be appreciated..

I had sleeve but generally had same reaction - returning to food was pretty easy.
It is my understanding that dumping often comes from high fat high sugar foods. So no dumping (yet) sounds to me like you are doing well on your plan. Some people never get any dumping.
For me the two times I had issues were 1...not chewing enough. I knew as soon as I swallowed that it was too big of a piece of food and it came back up. 2...i forgot about waiting to drink and I had some Water on my full stomach and it came back out.
So....keep chewing. Keep giving the pause after meals before drinking.
If I'm full, then I stop. I don't want to force more food in and make myself sick.
Just be sure to track.
I still use one Protein Shake a day to hit my target of 80g Protein.< br>

I'm still drinking my 90 grams of Protein daily, but add Proteins in baby-sized bites & chew like crazy. Learning to slow down has been the bane of my existence, but 3.5 mos post-op & over 60 lbs lost, I've mastered this. I'm losing 3-4 lbs weekly, but have been exercising since surgery, beginning with just walking. I did have one of my hernias repaired during my gastric sleeve surgery & I'm so happy to not need any of my Rx's for GERD/Acid Reflux since surgery.Thanks for your post. I'm going to the nutritionist/nutritional support group tomorrow, so if I learn anything more, I'll share. Namaste.

I forgot to mention learning our stomach's the size of an egg has been a great visual for me to get my portions of Protein in & to have them stay down.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
