Not sure what to think. I am able to eat alot ( I feel like) than what I should at 7 weeks post-op. I eat three meals a day and can eat an egg for Breakfast, tostada with small amount if retried Beans for lunch and then dinner feels like I'm eating more than I should. Is this normal? I feel hungry too. So confused.

I too feel like I'm eating too much! I guess that explains my very slow weight loss lol :-( so sad. I was sleeve nov 13th and I've lost 18 pounds.

Try drinking a glass of low fat milk 20 minutes before eating. The slight heaviness may limit your intake.

That doesn't sound like too much. It sounds like normal portion. I didn't eat that little before surgery -1 egg for breakfast? But now I do. I eat a scrambled egg w chz or boiled egg for bfast. A little cottage chz a few hrs later. For lunch tuna/ chicken about 1/4 c Mabye a couple crackers and 1/2 cup or less for dinner. My problem is I do not drink enough. I know the weight would come off faster of I drank plus I'm impatient but I'm glad I can eat a somewhat " normal" portion just gotta be patient. Good luck;)

I just got weighed for the first time officially post surgery. At 2weeks,2 days, I only lost 7 lbs. you were sleeved almost a month before me, so I think our trajectories are similar. Sigh...I am able to eat 600-800 calories a day...no reprucussions.

      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.
