How much can u eat at 1 year out?



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I am about 14 months post op and feeling hungry pretty much all the time. I've found myself grazing alot and I was wondering what is the maximum amount of food those atleast one year out are able eat at one time.

About 6 oz is my limit. More dence foods a little less. I still try to portion out my food and store in small containers so I dont' overdo it.

The only time I feel the desire to graze is if I have carbs, or more carbs than usual. Thankfully I don't keep junk in the house.

I don't mean to sound bad but how much CAN you eat is the wrong question...it's how much should you eat.

Hunger all the time... I would check a few things.

Acidy tummy feels like hunger. Try adding a ppi for a few weeks

Are you hydrated? Thirst feels like hunger. Do you know how to Fluid load between meals to increase length of time before hunger?

Do you eat enough at a meal to feel satiated? Helps with grazing management.

Do you follow sleeve rules...protein first etc etc

Are you letting sugary or bad carb foods in? That makes me hungrier than anything. I even avoid most fruits as the sugar makes me hungry. bread Pasta taters....all make me hungry.

Could you be searching for emotional comfort in food again? The ole head hunger thing.

Anyway some things to think about. Hang in there!!

      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.
