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!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
