3 Weeks Out And Can Eat An Medium Sized Egg



Recommended Posts

without any problems or discomfort. It keeps me full for at least 2-3 hours.

I can also eat about 1/2 of a small can of tune with a little olive oil mayo + pickle relish.

No problems with liquids. They go down pretty easily. Of course, no eating and drink at the same time.

How does that rank up there, in terms of volume, with others in that stage?

Sounds about where I was (that is myTuna recipe) I was eating a couple of reduced fat triscuits with it . I'm just 9 months out and can't finish One can and 5 crackers I can eat about one egg scrambled with small Greek yogurt,but a boiled egg fills me can't fit the yogurt. Are you eating lentils? lots of Protein and Fiber they became a go to food for me at about three weeks. Good luck!!

I was sleeved on 8/17 and so far about the same as you. I measure the portions and can tolerate between 1/4 to 1/2 cup. So far have been really fortunate no n/v, and no abd pain. If I do start to get full start to have hiccups. lowfat ricotta cheese and pizza sauce is good as well.

Sounds about right.

And as time passed, I could eat more and more, and that worried me that I would not or would stop losing weight. But that has not happened. I now lose more slowly, but I'm good with that.

About 5 1/2 months out.

Same as I was. I'm almost 5 months out now, and my capacity is still that small. I'm not complaining. :)

Wow Cara, I was actually hoping to be able to eat more at 6 months out. I dont know if I can survive on Protein shakes and 500 - 600 cals a day forever.

When do we start to get more eataing capacity back.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
