Mental help please with food weight! So worried

Hi there. Please help. I’m 1.5 year post op and I’m so worried. I’m able to eat 170grams of yogurt with 30g protein granola and 50grams strawberries with 15grams of peanut butter. So worried and anxious that it’s not normal. Am I stretching my sleeve? ??? is this normal. I make sure to keep my dinner portions to 170grams. Please help guys.. I’d love to hear.. I’m struggling so much mentally.

    If it's any comfort, I can eat that now (two months post-op) and just had a barium swallow and my sleeve is exactly fine. Don't freak out. Just weigh yourself once a week or so, and have an "oh sh*t"

    That's all healthy, real food that is full of nutrients and protein. I wouldn't beat yourself up about eating that at all.

all of my food restrictions were lifted once I was about six months out or so. At 1.5 years out, I could have definitely eaten that - if not before then. You're not going to stretch your sleeve on that.

Thank you catwoman ❤️?

Dalila you are doing great! You’ve reached your goal and you need to be a bit kinder to yourself. It sounds like you’re making very sensible food choices. Everyone stretches their pouches - you would not be able to sustain enough nutrition for a normal life if you didn’t. You are a success story! Enjoy your yogurt with strawberries and peanut butter - it must slip down very easily and sounds nutritious, tasty and highly digestible. Brilliant!

Thank you for this jacks

If it's any comfort, I can eat that now (two months post-op) and just had a barium swallow and my sleeve is exactly fine. Don't freak out. Just weigh yourself once a week or so, and have an "oh sh*t" weight where if you get there you will go back to basics to get back down. So if your goal was 50 kg, maybe you say at 53 kg it's time to get serious (it being a lot easier to lose 3 kg than 10 kg).

That's all healthy, real food that is full of nutrients and protein. I wouldn't beat yourself up about eating that at all.
