How Many Ounces of Food at Four Months Gastric Sleeve?

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!

  • Well are we talking by volume or by weight? At 4 months I was on my forever diet. My RD would have been happy if I was still at 3/4cup VOLUME of food. But I was at 1 cup of food. But still losing

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)
