Yup - I ate the whole plate. It was about 5 ounces of shredded chicken and 3 ounces of cucumber.

You can eat more further on post op, especially after month 6. This is both a blessing and a bane for folks. If you focus on sourcing your calories from Protein, eating more only makes you lose more weight and get more fit. Do not worry, I went through the same phases as you during the early months post op ( eg only being able to eat 1-3 ounces of chicken). I eat 7-8 times a day now and try to eat about 1700-1900 calories. For this reason, I am always eating every 2 -3 hours.lol. Literally chomping or drinking Water from rise until bed. Never hungry though and still lose weight. last week was 10 lb below original goal and am focused on building muscle to reduce body fat and get stronger (currently at 12% and need to update my picture, from 3 months ago).

Just focus on eating clean sources of Protein and veggies and you will do just fine when you are able to tolerate eating more. Eating food like this picture is really satisfying and super healthy for you.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
