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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
