How much is everyone eating? I'm one week out and can eat 2 oz but still hungry a half hour later . When will I be able to eat more at least 4 to 6 oz?

Hi! One week post op, still Clear Liquids, my doctor had advised me to sip up to 4oz every 20-30minutes. She said that in total, I should be getting 64oz for the day. I know I was below that.

I hope this helps and congrats! :)

Had my surgery on 1/17. I honestly just constantly sip on something. Usually a bottle of Protein Water or sugar free Vitamin water. I don’t necessarily measure it out but at the end of the day I can calculate the ounces. If I drink too much at one time I get a stomach cramp so I know to stop or slow down. I also have to take small sips. Not sure if any of that helps!

I have 2-4 ounces per meal every 3 hours & drink 2 L of Water per day. I also fit a Protein Shake in & some Spicy V8 juice. When you switch to solid foods you will get 4-6 ounce meals but may find 4 is all you need. My surgery was January 18th.

Try to make sure you are meeting your Protein goal. Try to find higher Protein foods. eggs and cottage cheese have good protein and it saved me because I was like you where I get hungry quickly after. Higher protein in will help curb the hunger (for me anyway). Supplement your liquids/between meals with the Premier Protein shakes. That helps too. Once you can eat more it will become easier. I still get hungry between but I just try to drink more. My doc said 2 oz of food isn’t a lot so yes, you get hungry but get your protein goals in because it will help.

I’m 7 weeks post op and am getting about 4-5 oz in per meal.

Good luck!

When you swap to Protein dense not liquid you may not even dream of 6 oz for a long time. Depending on alot of variables . Taller people,men etc may have more space. I'm 7 m out and still on small portions. 4/5oz less for some food. 2 ounces for some.

I was cleared for regular food at 5 weeks. I hated the mushy phase

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
