How Much Can You Eat At A Time 1 Year Out?



Recommended Posts

I'm a low BMI-er, was 205 now 145 5'0". Still need to lose 15-20. I'm almost 10 months out. I can ... As best as I can figure bc I haven't weighed my food... Eat about 6-8 oz. at a time depending in what it is. When I go out to eat like tonight for instance I ate 3-4 bites of spinach dip with a small chip, 4 bites/pieces of salad, I sliver/half of a small lobster tail, and 3-4 bites of my steak ... All a little spaced out of course. I still eat whatever I like of of course much less and I stay full a lot longer between meals. I don't wanna feel line I'm on a never ending diet! I was just curious now much others can or do eat??? Of course if I were more diligent about what I eat and exercised.... Which I barely have I would probably be at goal now, but even though slower I think I will !!!! Just wanna hear from others and how they "live with" the sleeve.

I was sleeved 9/26 and I can eat one drumstick and one or two bites of a thigh and also about 1/4 cup of vegetables and a 1/4 of starch. Or I can eat about a cup or a little more of Soup. I can have one soft chicken taco. I love that I can have things I like, feel full and still lose weight. I think I'm going to tighten up and have more meals that are Protein Shakes to try to make the weight come off a little faster. They fill me up and I like them. I have continued to have shakes for Breakfast and now I'm going to have them for lunch and have small Snacks like yogurt, fat free cottage cheese with no sugar added fruit or low fat string cheese. And then have a regular - but still low carb and somewhat low fat for dinner. Maybe then I can lose more than 1 lb a week.

I did a shake for breakfast for several months but i may start back for my New Years Resolution lol. Good to hear I'm pretty normal. I also can eat 1 taco, or about 1/2 to 3/4 of a small burger. I usually eat half all together then wait while and eat the other half of the meat. Or else my dog get a treat! They get lotsa treats now ;)

      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.
