10 months Post op: How much to eat?



Recommended Posts

I got gastric sleeve about 10 months ago. I feel like I'm eating too much and haven't really lost any weight for about a month now. So I'm worried. I have my next appointment soon, but I figured I'd ask people here. ❤️

If you're 10+ months post op, how much do you eat in one day??

Any tips on how to keep losing? I'm starting to exercise more too! I just get hungry easier now!

Hi YandereAngel,

I am currently 7 months Post Operative. The normal day looks like this:

Morning- 2x coffee with 150ml of skim milk

Breakfast- 90 grams of Oats with Strawberry's and Blueberries averaging out to around 5 ounces

Morning tea- Coffee with 100ml of Skim milk

Lunch- 95 Grams of tuna on 2 Vita-Weat biscuits

Afternoon tea Coffee with 100ml of skim milk again and 30 grams of Almonds

Min afternoon: Protein Shake

Dinner- Normally meat and veggies max 5 ouces per serving.

I consume around 800-1100 calories a day.

I weigh everything to ensure I'm not eating any more than the required 5 ounces per meal. Some days I have a snack after dinner this is normally a piece of fruit or 5 ounces of yogurt.

I am now at past goal weight so trying to maintain however its easier said than done I'm still losing.

We are going to need more information.

What was your starting weight, current weight, goal weight?

What and how much are you currently eating, and compared to a few months ago

Activity level now vs a few months ago

This could be a normal slow down as you get near goal, or it could be backsliding and sabotaging your WL, but with the info you gave there is no way to tell.

Hard to give you any advice because you have not posted what you were instructed to consume and what you are consuming now.

How much are you eating now? Do you weigh or measure your meals? Do you track your food in a program? What are your macros. You show me yours, and I'll show you mine. :D I'm 10.5months RNY.

I was sleeved just a few weeks before you. As others have stated, we can't really help you much, since you didn't post what you've been eating, but I'll just tell you how I eat. I really just eat until I'm satisfied/full. I can usually eyeball how much that'll be. I focus on primarily eating Protein, which gets me fuller faster than high-carb foods would. For Breakfast, I may have an egg with some shredded cheese and a few pieces of bacon or 1 piece of sausage. For lunch, I'll usually have a grilled chicken breast with a slice of cheese on it. For dinner, I may have a few meatballs. Just things like that. I usually have a Protein Shake between lunch and dinner to hold me over and to just get more protein in. I also try to get at least 90oz of Water daily

One of the other posters seem to think it was an ounce for months out, that would make you 10oz or 2/3 rds a cup,would that be close to what you are eating ?😗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
