i am a woman. my doctor told me i'll be working my way up to 6 oz - 8oz. i have been eating around 4 or 5. No problems, no full feeling . I haven't had any issues with any food. I can tolerate everything. Which i should feel good about but being that its only be a little over a month makes me nervous. i left a message for my doctor cause i dont see him again for 3 months.

was just looking for some other peoples perspective didn't need to upset anyone.

I would limit myself to 4 oz for now and fill with veggies. Im a 220 lb dude and I can just eat a 4oz tuna steak at one sitting, at 9 months post op. I would never attempt 8oz at one meal anymore. I break my meals into smaller meals to keep my metabolism going all day. So I may eat 2 meals 2 to 3 hours apart, where I split 4 to 6 oz of Protein. This works best for me as I dont like that really full feeling if I eat the entire 4 to 6 oz at once.

No ones upset ? Who's upset the questions are just to try and help.
I don't think he meant 6 ounces this early I would stick to 4 ounces. And try not to worry because your still healing so you may not recognize your new full feeling. I don't eat till I'm full . Sorry for assuming you are a male I thought your name was leo my apologies.

I'm going to be starting my 3rd stage this Monday and in really worried that I won't feel full at all. Right now I'm hungry all the time. True in still on just liquid Protein Shakes but my nutritionist said as long as I have 80 to 90g in Protein shakes I shouldn't be hungry. But I feel starved all the time.. I'm worried I'm going to be the one person this surgery doesn't work on..

Stop worrying prematurely your wasting your energy. Your body is used to eating solid food then suddenly shocked into not eating. People will keep repeating it's different when your on dense protein. Listen to people.

That's okay. I'm a female though . [emoji23] We all worry it's normal but remember stress can hinder weightloss so keep relaxed.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
