From what I have read is 30 grams. Otherwise your body just can not absorb it.

I think the question is more along the line of how many ounces can or should one consume...at 8 weeks, I believe i was between 2 an d4 ounces of anything. the amount really depended on what I was eating. yogurt, 2-3 ounces, Soup i could almost get 4, cottage cheese or any other cheese was closer to 2. you are on the right track. keep it up! :)

I'm almost 6 months post-op and I can still only do between 2 and 4 ounces of meat at a time, depending on what type of meat and how it's prepared.

For eight weeks post op I think you are right on track! Keep doing your best to be the best you!

You are ok with that amount, but i would suggest not hitting the feeling ill point for numerous reasons; develop good habits, dont stretch your sleeve, etc.... Enjoy being full quickly now and dont push it unnecessarily. Remember you are in a honeymoon phase the first 9 months or so. Loose all you can now while ot is easiest.

grams of Protein per meal? 30 grams, more than that your body doesn't absorb it all (as studies say)

ounces of high Protein food? at 8 weeks out 2-3 ounces of meat such as chicken or tuna (which is roughly 30g!)

I think you're on the right track.

And with chicken, for instance, 4oz can give you 23g of Protein.< /p>

I liked to melt a little cheese on top to kick it up to 30g.

But just stop eating as soon as you feel full.

Eat what you can without being uncomfortable.

If it 2-3 oz, it's 2-3 oz!

Do not force anything.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
