Portion sizes between RNY and Omega Loop Bypass.

[Stormwood 3]

Hello! This is my first post on this Forum about that and maybe you can give me some insight.

i'm 3 weeks post op from Germany and i have a RNY-Bypass i'm okay so far no pain enough Fluid struggle with food which is normal this early i guess.

the Question i really have, i use to watch a lot of youtubers for meal plans and "how my future could look" and most of them just say "i did have a bypass" but not specifically which one, i once heard that the RNY bypass will always have way smaller portions than the Omega-sleeve and i'd like to ask if thats True and i'm also very Intrested to hear how your Portionsizes are after lets say, 3 year Post op.

thanks and have a great day

I'm not familiar with the Omega-sleeve - it could be that that's more common in Europe than the US.

I'm eight years out and focus on calories more than portion sizes at this point. I can maintain my weight on about 1600 calories a day. I can eat more if I'm doing heavy exercising.

so the "portion sizes" will be larger eight years out?, like i say i'm out for 3 weeks and even 50 gramms of food is to much for me

at three weeks out, I could barely eat anything! the amount you'll be able to eat will gradually increase and at some point level off. I probably eat about half as much as I did pre-surgery - but at this point, no one would be able to tell I've had bariatric surgery. They probably just assume I'm a "light eater", like many of my never-been-obese women friends are. If I go out to dinner, I usually just eat half of it and bring the rest home. Before surgery, I'd eat the whole thing - and sometimes dessert, too!

sorry for the late answer, Went to the ER and as it looks my Pathway is to narrow to handle anything besides liquid food 😕 . Thank you for your Answers, i hope in a few years out i will be able to be a "light eater" as well. currently its just harsh and a lot of pain.
