Is 1/3 of a cup of food about the amount of food a sleeve can handle? I'm just starting this whole process, I'm still waiting for a call from the surgery department..

For the first 4 - 6 weeks, I could eat an eighth of a cup of broth, Soup, soft foods (depending on the stage I was in). Slowly but surly you can eat a little more, which is too bad, i wish I was still eating a third of a cup at a time!! My doctor doesn't want his patients to EVER eat more than a cup at one meal. I was three years out this past June 10th - and I cannot eat a full cup of food. Depending on what I am eating, 3/4 cup, and that still isn't a lot, compared to what I could eat pre-op, but some times I feel like it IS a lot. All the head games!

Hi there - I'm five weeks out from surgery and on soft foods since four weeks.

Today for the first time I got a Chipotle bean bowl (no rice) and figured it would last me for a few meals.

I got a mix of pinto and black Beans with cheese, guac on the side. I took 1/3 of a cup of the Beans and some cheese and added 2 Tablespoons of plain nonfat Greek yogurt to boost the Protein.

Are the beans okay to eat? I'm not even halfway through the 1/3 c I put in my dish, but all of a sudden I got nervous about the bean coverings.

Are non-pureed/ non-mashed beans okay on a soft food diet?

Thanks!

Look on line at the calories/nutritional value. I am pretty sure their beans are seasoned with bacon, but that is still your choice. I would eat about 1 TB of refried beans when eating out, and some times they are 'vegetarian' and some times they are not. I did eat FF refried beans at home with a sprinkle of 2% cheddar in them. Yum!

      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.
