I'm so scared im eating too much. I can eat quite a bit of fish. Is that normal? It's the one Protein that I can eat more of. And no I don't try to stuff it in. I just don't feel restriction as well. Anyone else find that?

How far out are you?

How much do you eat?

Yes different foods fill me up differently, meaning some I can eat more of than others. 4 ounces compared to 2 ounces.

Was sleeved on 5/21 19 weeks out and I'm not sure but it was a catfish fillet from charlie's chicken restaurant. It was pretty big dk how much for sure. But overall I've realized I can eat bigger quantity of fish. Was wondering if anyone else can too?

I love salmon.But I can eat way too much of it.I dont really fill up on it so now we make salmon patties with all kinds of green,red,yellow and orange peppers with onion in it and I can only eat 3 oz of it.

Soft fish goes down like yogurt for me.But shrimp or prawns are solid and it really fills me up nicely and for long.

Dont worry about it.Test yourself with chicken breast,that will show you quickly how little you can really eat.

Salmon I can eat more of then any other meat.... 4oz instead of 2oz. I have also had albacore that is much more dense and dryer and found that I can only do about two ounces. I just make sure to put veggies with the salmon and I am full, I am sure it is because salmon is such a moist and oily fish that it goes down so easy for me.

A soft white fish definately goes down easier/can eat more, but, it is also very low cal, high Protein and good for you.

      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.
