Am 3 weeks after my sleeve operation and am always affraid from increasing my stomach size back again which makes me always afraid from the size of the portion i had really i dont know how to judge on the portion

[Crosby 303]

Didn't you get some specific guidelines from your surgeons office / NUT?

[Hisham Hassan 1]

He told me for the first 35 days only Soup, fresh juice like apple and watermellon and low fat milk with any tea coffee or even herbs but when i drink or take soup i feel that i can take more sometimes i feel hungry so i take juice or even some cheese

You need to contact your surgeon. Everyone's situation is different and it is important that you comply.

@@Hisham Hassan Where are you getting all your Protein from? You don't do Protein Shakes?

[Hisham Hassan 1]

No Protein at all i will start protein after the 35 days

Please confirm this with your surgeon. It doesn't sound right.

You really need to contact your nutritionist and clarify. Everyone here has a different protocol. Also keep in mind that liquids won't really fill you. They slide right through your sleeve. However if you are supposed to be on liquids, you really shouldn't be eating cheese. Lastly you may need a PPI like omeprazole. What you are feeling as hunger may in fact be acid. It's hard to tell the difference early on.

Here's a good guideline. Just do your portion sizes according to what week post op you're on:

1-2 weeks = 1-2 ounces

2-4 weeks = 2-4 ounces

4-6 weeks = 4-6 ounces

6-8 weeks and forever = 6-8 ounces

Just a caution to the original poster, some foods are much denser than others. 4 ounces of steak is still a big portion for me 3 years out. Just go slow, eat until no longer hungry and don't push it. Eating "small" consistently is one of the secrets to long term success.

@@Hisham Hassan,
The program you are describing doesn't sound at all like what most of us were instructed to do. No Protein for 35 days? fruit juices for fluids? Five hours without drinking Water?!! Something's very wrong there! Please contact your doctor and also your nutritionist for clarification as soon as possible. Good luck!

How is your body suppose to heal and function without a Protein source? That's very odd. Protein is extremely important in the way the body functions.
