I am 3 weeks out from a gastric sleeve procedure. I'm not sure if I am eating too much. It seems to me that most folks who have the sleeve done are unable to eat as much as I do. I don't strive to eat a lot, but I just happens and I never feel full. I have not felt full - not once. Last night I had a pretty good sized veggie burger and about 10 stalks of asparagus. I would have hoped to be full after about half of that. How does this seem to you folks who have had gastric sleeve?

Many thanks

Grace

Did you have more than one surgery?

I am 1 month post op I consume 2-3 ounces meals 3 times a day always have a protein included in my meal whether it’s tuna chicken fish or turkey non fat deli slice . I eat green beans , cooked well squash and lots of water . I always start my mornings with a protein drink .

Thank you ever so much for your informative and comprehensive response to my inquiry. I appreciate this more than you know. Just FYI I am not taking in more than 700-800 calories daily. It seems to me that even without surgery I should be losing weight on that caloric intake.
I will be MUCH MORE VIGILENT concerning the amount of food I consume at meals. I will give you an example of what I have to eat daily:
BREAKFAST: High protein shake = 160 calories
LUNCH: Amy's Tomato Bisque soup = 240 calories
DINNER: One source of protein (Yogurt/veggie burger/cottage cheese) usually about 240 calories
My snacks are diet jello for ten calories per serving - 2 servings at the most
Sugarless lollipops for 17 calories each for about 34 calories in a day
I'm down about 9 pounds from my date of surgery but have been stalled for about 5 days now.
I don't think I can try harder than I am right now. Maybe I'm wrong but doesn't it come down to calorie intake?
Thank you again. I DO APPRECIATE THIS!
My best,
Grace

Stay away from carbs. Ie yogurt, veggies burgers , and eat cheese at a minimum
