It's all new 453 Posted July 28, 2012 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!

TMyers1471 87 Posted July 28, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluffylibra30 323 Posted July 28, 2012 For the first couple months it will seem like that. I'm really not sure what it is, but it is common. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxbins 625 Posted July 28, 2012 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
