Eating after RNY

[Karlnjax 163]

I'm only able to eat about the size of a small egg after my RNY does that sound about right to y'all? I feel great and everything is going wonderful I just wanted to make sure everyone agrees with the amount I am able to eat? Thanks!!

I had surgery in Feb, I was told that in the beginning, say the 1st month about all I would be able to eat was a portion about the size of an egg. as the stomach heals and relaxes you should be able to eat food abt the size of 1 cup total by your 1 yr anniversary. Don't rush the process. And good luck!

It's been two weeks and two days since my RNY and I'm able to eat a half cup of pureed food. Then again, I suspect that's simply because I have always healed very well, very quickly. Sometimes I feel satisfied before I finish the half cup, and sometimes the half cup is the perfect amount for me. Still, I don't think you're egg-size portion is abnormal at all.

I am 4 months out and struggle with food portions quite a bit. Some days 1/2-1 cup is plenty but other days I am still hungry or 1/2 cup is way to much. I've found that it also depends on the food that I am eating. I am able to tolerate Soups, yogurts and fluids/shakes a lot better than other foods. They key is also eating slowly and allowing your brain to realize that you've eaten, feel full and satisfied. It's hard and I find that I have to pace myself still. It's easy to get back into the habit of eating quickly again. Definately a difficult habit to break.

Oh and keep up the good work!!

I'm on my 3rd week. I had the gastric bypass. I was so sick of eating broth, & now get to eat yogurt, cream Soups, cream of wheat etc I'm trying to still stay at the 200ML that the hospital was giving me. So far it's ok, some days I'm super hungry & other days I won't really eat all day. It's tough to not over eat. I notice I get really hungry when I'm cooking for my family. The smell of food I can't have really gets me. I notice if I eat my soups & drink my protien shake on time throughout the day, it's easier to smell food without wanting to give in. Now I just need to work on excersize, getting up & motivating myself. Good luck everyone

I'm 1 day out and still in the hospital after rny. I have been successful aT eating all that they bring me, 1/4 cup in the beginning of cream of wheat, 1/2 cup broth for lunch, and tonight I got 1/4 cup puree green Beans and 1/4 cup puree chicken breast down. It was delish. Took a half hour but had no issues. Good luck!

@@Karlnjax, you are doing great. I am about three months post-op and I the most I can eat is 1/2C.
