I will be 3 years next month. I can definitely eat more than I could the first year, but no where near like before surgery. Protein still fills me up quickly. Where it used to be 3-4 ounces, I am more 5-7 ounces, depending on the meat. I don't think I could eat a whole hamburger if I tried. I can do a McD kid burger, but no room for anything else. Hope that helps.

I was fortunate enough to get a 28F (that is really small) Today at 3 years out I can still not eat more 6oz of food at a time. If I eat only Protein, that's even less. I can eat whatever, of course, but only very small amounts still. For example I could eat a whole (small) Breakfast taco, but then i feel uncomfortable, so I eat about 3/4 of it and am fine. I can only eat 1 egg and 1 1/2 slices of bacon. I can only eat about 6 grapes. I still slime everytime i overdo it, and when i eat a bit too much, i sneeze like crazy
:rolleyes:
My restriction is fabulous. I am maintaining my weight between 210 and 215lbs. My doctors goal weight for me was 212. I don't have a problem "watching" my intake at all, although i've heard of people gaining a lot of weight back despite the sleeve (go figure)
:huh:
hope this helps

Same here.

The one thing I do avoid is salad. Lots of filling, but very little nutrients for the volume it takes up. It makes me laugh the the "diet food" is the one I don't have. LOL!

      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.
