Hey.

In Dr Matthew Weiners video about sleeve stretching he refers to different plate size how much you can eat in a couple of years. A full plate after 5 years.

I am from Sweden and dont know if one plate in the US are the same size in Sweden when you try to tell about size.

Can someone make that plate to ounzes?

How much food you can hold years out will be different for each of us. Your stomach will never be full sized again.

It's not "stretching"...Your food volume will increase as you progress out from sleeve surgery. This is normal. His explanation on the graph may be an estimate based on his WLS patients.

From what I have seen, dinner plates are generally in the same size range. I think that the basic lesson here is that long term you will be able to eat about half in a meal of what you did before surgery, so don't count on only being able to eat 100g forever. Dr. Weiner's basic rule of thumb of eating about half the volume as previously is still restrictive enough to maintain good weight control if you develop the right habits, but leaves plenty of room for regain if you choose poorly. I think that this is part of the basis of his philosophy of eating a vegetable heavy diet, which is fairly bulky but also fairly low calorie, It's not the only way to go, but is a good approach.
