More Restriction With Time?



Recommended Posts

At four to six weeks after my surgery I was eating 1 1/2-2 ounces of meat for a meal. (yes, that was the diet progression I was given). Now, at 10 weeks I can only fit 1 ounce - sometimes less. Also, I cant eat as much of my egg as i used to. Is anyone else having a similar issue? I thought my capacity would be growing, not shrinking. I rely on Protein Drinks otherwise I would never get enough calories or meet my Protein goals. Any ideas would be helpful!

I am the same way. Some days I can eat small meals every two hours or so, but there are other days when I thank God for my shakes because I just can't eat. It is such a chore to eat anymore. Darn it! lol

For the first couple months it will seem like that. I'm really not sure what it is, but it is common.

I'm 18 months post-op and some days I can eat a lot, other days not so much. If I'm tense or anxious, I can't eat as much as days with no worries. Early days, I think swelling played a role in whether my sleeve was tight or loose.
