Can I See Meals/portion Sizes Please?

[amytug 996]

I'm still pre op and in the planning stagees, so I'm unsure how much and what one eats after surgery. I'd love to see images of what you guys are eating, please with a cherry on top?

I plan on taking a lot ofpics of my meals afterwards for others as well..

thanks,

Amy

Why not measure out a portion you are eating now and put on a saucer:

2 ounces meat-chicken, tuna, fish of any kind

1/4 cup cottage cheese

one slice deli meat

2 T veggie of your choice

1 scrambled egg

one cheese string

one babybel cheese

I think you will get the idea. When you do post the pictures for the rest of us to see.

At a year out I can eat more, but I work hard at keeping the portions down. I eat 2 eggs with some cheddar cheese, but 1 egg will do me just fine for Breakfast, lunch I will eat 5 slices of dry salami or order a child's portion of teriaki chicken and eat about 1/2 portion. I will order a Carl's jr Biscuit with sausage, egg, and cheese and throw the largest half of the biscuit in the trash. and even then i can only eat about 3/4th's of it. For dinner maybe 2 oz of steak a couple bites of baked potato, and a couple bites of salad at the most. I skip dessert. Picture a dessert size plate and only the middle has food on it. Half the plate is Protein, 1/4th of the plate is veggies, and the other forth of plate is maybe a carb (I usually skip this part). I stay away from breads, pastas and rice.........

Thank you, all of you! It is fun for me to see the small portions. I just heard it described that your portion sizes after surgery will be about the size of an egg.

I know I saw a video a few months ago that showed a womans meals after a year post op, but I can't find it, darn it. I love getting ideas PRE op, for later.

Thanks!! Isn't it just liquids at this point, though?

I am 9mos post op. I eat when I am hungry, which isn't a good thing, considering, I am never hungry. Over the last month, I have become lactose intolerant. I can eat 1 scrambled egg with american cheese and a couple slices of bacon. That takes me a good 45 mins to eat. For lunch, I usually have a half of a turkey sandwich, snack a yogurt or granola bar, and dinner is just whatever I have fixed that night, and only a couple bites of it. At this point, I should be able to eat 8oz at a time according to my NUT, but I'm not even close to that.

Are you happy about that it disappointed?

Ty for sharing. <3

I am one week post op. I can manage 1/2 an egg, or if I'm using different foods - about 4 teaspoons is max. It takes me at least 1/2 an hour to finish
