Food question, 4 weeks out

[IpswichPav 6]

I am eating the Stage 3 diet four weeks out and am wondering about my sleeve capacity. For dinner tonight I ate 3 ounces of chicken and 1/2 cup of steamed Swiss chard. It doesn't look like much (compared to my family and my former self) but does that seem normal? I felt comfortably full when I was done, not overfull.

I have lost 15 pounds in the last month, by the way, for a total of 40 from my highest.

That sounds about right for the amount I was eating. My capacity at that time was about 1/2 cup of dense food, like chicken or ground turkey meat. Vegetables always took up less space than the meat.< /p>

Keep Pimpin' that Sleeve!

Here's the video I made describing how much I could eat after VSG surgery.

I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and can only eat about 2oz of meat and 1tbs of veggies at a meal. But I don't think it's abnormal the portions you stated. My sleeve is probably still a little swollen. I think my nut would like to see me eating that portion for dinner in a couple of weeks. I'll work up to it.

I am 3.5 weeks as well. I don't think is a lot. But I can only eat about 2 oz. I was sleeved on sept 27. I have lost 25 pounds. But I have a lot to lose.

Everyone's stomach size is different. I am 7 weeks out and cannot quite eat that much, but there are others who can.
