Question for people over 12 mths



Recommended Posts

I am 15 months out and can still eat 3-4 ounces and be satisfied. To be honest, I haven't really tried to go over that.

Yes, but it depends on the type of food. The hard Protein such as steak or pork are harder to digest so I eat about 4 oz with a veggie. But I can eat about 2 cups of salad. It's also easy to eat too much of all the sliders like popcorn and chips.< /p>

  • I agree with Chelenka, it all depends on the food. I can easily eat more than a cup of popcorn/salad and some vegetables. Meat/pork/chicken fills me up much quicker, maybe 6 ounces at the most. If you're asking how much food it takes to get satisfied, then I'd have to say only 4 or 5 bites of anything. When Frankensleeve is growling at me, I can eat 4 or 5 bites of anything and not feel hungry again for hours. Eating is still a battle for me - how much I need to eat to survive vs. how much my head is telling me I want to eat.

      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.
