Doreen ,

thank you for your response. I'm glad you're doing good :-) I bought some of the proti-Vlc Products for my doctors office and I really like their Protein that you can put in Water that's fruit flavored:) have you tried that or is there a different kind you like?

I'm 2.5 years post-op. I was sleeved in April 2015.

I can eat about 8 ounces at one sitting comfortably. Since my capacity has nearly tripled since the early days, I stick to meals and Snacks that contain mostly Protein.

My staples include ham/turkey sandwiches, tuna casserole, meatloaf, blackened tilapia, salmon croquettes, flatbread pizza, and baked chicken thighs.

2 years

I can eat 4 to 6 ounces of Protein at once.

My eating is pretty "normal". If you saw me eating at a restaurant you would not think I was a weight loss patient.

I am one year post-op. I can eat about 3 ounces of meat at a time with 1.5 ounces of green Beans. I could probably eat more than that, but I don't eat until I am "full." I focus on specified amounts and meeting set macros each day.

That being said, for the last few weeks, I have found myself not being able to eat what I have easily eaten for months and months now. I am hoping it is just a phase and it will pass soon. I have a checkup in about a month. If it isn't better then, I'll talk to the NP about it.

I am almost 5 months post-op. For the first 3 months I followed a Protein first low carb style diet. I have been eating a mostly WFPB diet for the past 2 months. I can eat 4-6oz depending on what I am eating. I try to eat 1200 calories a day because I run 5 days a week and I need the fuel.

I feel great eating this way and I am only 3.5 pounds from my goal.

I'm finally a year out, (yesterday yay!) And it still takes me almost an hour to get through 3oz of food, and thats a little over half or more being dense Protein and the other ounce and change are from veggies usually. I talked to my NUT about it and she wasn't worried. She said everyone is different. I feel better. Its still hard getting in 1000 calories when I'm sticking to protein first and veggies. I still supplement will a Protein Shake a day just to up my calories. Sometimes i barely hit 600, if im lucky.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
