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 ?😗

      April Surgery

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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
