Normal To Eat More Than 4Oz?



Recommended Posts

Original poster, for Breakfast I have a serving of Greek Yogurt (Chobani fruited) with the following add ins: 1/2 scoop vanilla whey isolate Protein powder, flavorless benefiber, Splendra, some walnuts, 1/3 cup high Protein Kashi Go Lean.

about 300-350 cal. but about 30 g of protein.

As mentioned by previous posters you need to up your protein and lower the carb intake.

You are eating too many calories a day. Your doctor should have set how much you should be eating and it should be around 1000. It is going to take time to stop thinking about food and it may never go away. I try to stay busy, drink 0 calorie drinks and when food comes in my head I ask myself " I'm I hungry?" and if it is no than I don't eat. If you find yourself eating more because you are hungry more it is time for a fill. Don't wait for you to reach a goal weight, you can cause your band to slip. I don't understand the one lady that is waiting to reach her goal before she gets a fill. That is not the intent of the band but, if she and her doctor are in agreement then i guess that's all that matters.

I think it really depends for everyone, my doctor told me that i was not eating enough, i should eat 1800 calories per day because i do sport an hour a day. I'm getting my second fill next week, and i lost 3 lbs last week (finaly!!!) so i'm confident now!

I am really active too and I got pregnant after I had my surgery and my doctor has never told me to go over 1200 calories a day. I eat 125g of Protein or more a day because I am so active. I'm not saying that my way is the right way, I'm just a little puzzled by why you are eating so much calories after having this surgery? I think it is wonderful that you have lost weight and congrats to you.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
