I would rather be fat/current state than ever have to deal with logging 13 ingredients for a wrap into MFP.

Choices. :D I'm the last person to impose my way on anyone, or judge someone for it. :D It works for me. And all i REALLY know is what and how much I don't know. And I do absolutely support and respect someone else doing things in a way that makes them individually successful--especially when it's a different way than mine! I learn something new from the peeps here everyday!!

Happy New Year to you!!

The nutritionist at my doctor's office is not particularly helpful. I was hoping that someone could give me some guidance as to how many ounces of food I should be eating at one time if I am four months out from a gastric sleeve? Does this amount change later on? If so, when? Thanks so much for any guidance!

Sorry your nutritionist was not helpful

My instructions, three oz of Protein. I added veggies and other item on my plan when I had room to fit it in. I ate slowly and followed my signal of full.

No one can say when you may feel less surgery restriction. It’s different for each of us. My experience - Six months out, I could feel less sleeve restriction. Years out, my sensation of full and food volume is different. I logged and stayed within my weight loss calories and macros. It was a great way to learn the basics.

This plate may help give a visual of volume – follow foods allowed on your plan (starch was not on my plan)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
