How much food

[paulinamdiaz 2]

What is the amount of food everyone is eating and how far into the surgery are you!?

Very little..... and I am on my pre op diet, chug, chug chugging the Protein drinks!

I'm just shy of 3 weeks out & on the "soft Protein & protein shake" phase for my hospital. If it's cottage cheese or greek yogurt from a larger container I'm measuring out 4oz on my food scale. Egg salad I'm using 1 egg w/T of canola/olive oil mayo, tuna 1/2 can with 1 T of mayo, 1 scrambled egg.. I think for the most part my food is fitting into 1/2 cup.

I'm still on all liquid post- phase but the rule of thumb they told me is never more than 4 oz / 1/2 cup at a meal. Right now it's hard to get all that Liquid Protein in with the Water but I'm trying!

At the most 1/2 cup. I was sleeved on 01/11/13. My sleeve seems to be much smaller then others though. I can hardly fit anything in there. I've had a lot of weightloss success though I don't think there is a right answer here as everyone is so different!

1.5 months out and very small meals. If solid Protein like chicken about 2 ounces

That's good to know!!! I thought I was eating too much for being a month out!!! What about how many meals a day is everyone getting in!?

Today I am 5 weeks post-op n can eat 1.5 oz of Protein such as fish or chicken n maybe 1 oz of vegetables such as brocolli. I was curious as to how much everyone else can eat at this point?
