For Those at Least 8 Weeks Out - How Much Food is Your Sleeve Holding?

[Pea523 28]

Hi,

I am 8 weeks out. Today, I sat down and measured my food and ate 1/2 cup of eggplant. I was full after. I realized that I was eating too much before. I was eating nearly a cup of food, and it was not necessary. I think I was not giving myself the 20 minutes to finish my meal, which is partially due to my time restraints at work during the day.

How much food are you eating?

Also, what are you eating for Breakfast lunch and dinner?

At 8 weeks I was really just eating Protein. 6 oz of fish and 3 oz of any other meat, 4oz of lobster.

Around that time I had fish 4 times a day so I didn't have to take Protein shakes, because I was tired of them. With fish I could eat enough to meet my Protein goals and not have to supplement.

I'm 20 months out now so my capacity is greater. However looking back at my food logs at 8 weeks I was eating 90% Protein. Protein Shakes, 2 oz beef, 2-2.5 oz chicken, 3 oz fish or shrimp, Greek yogurt (the majority of a 5.3 oz container), Beans, etc. on the rare occasion I had room, I would add in some softer veggies like broccoli or cauliflower. At that point for Breakfast I was eating protein shakes and lunches were usually egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, etc. 2-2.5 oz. Hope that helps

At 2 months I could eat about 2 to 2.5 ounces of solid Proteins and about 3 oz of softer foods. My main meals were about the same as what @@stacyrg1 listed.

At 8 weeks, I was eating around 1/2 cup. At two years, I can eat a cupful if its dense, a little more if it's soupy.

Thanks for your replies!

I usually have a shake for breakfast

Protein like grilled nuggets from chic fil a, tuna pack,

dinner chicken again with maybe a bit of a veggie.

I need to get in more Water because I am not drinking enough - that's for sure.

I'm 9 weeks out and I'm eating a Protein shake with a banana blended in for Breakfast, about a 1/3cup of some kind of Protein for lunch, and the same for dinner. I'll usually have an 80 cal yogurt for a snack or maybe some pieces of cheese. I've just started trying to get in some veggies like green Beans or broccoli. I also put some cheese on top of my chicken or whatever to add more protein. I have some low fat swiss that's carb free and only 50 cals. Something else I've been doing is broth with powdered Gelatin in it. That's 10 more grams of protein and 50cals.

What I'm wondering is....how many calories were people consuming at this point out? I average about 780/day. I also am not losing weight. I went up a pound last week then finally lost that today but it's been stalled at 243 for about 1 1/2 week. Argggh!

Also, sorry to post this in here but I haven't figured out how to start a thread and ask these questions.

I am in week 7 and I have about 800 calories per day and 80 grams of Protein. Today I ate a yogurt, a half cup of school baked Beans, a Protein Bar (zone perfects melt in the mouth as you eat them. I eat half, then the other half) sashimi and some spinach Souffle with nutritional yeast. I'm short a bit for protein today. May sip some Isopure here in a bit.

I can get about an egg sized amount of food in me in the morning, and maybe a 1/2 cup at lunch. The beans today I know we're only a half cup scoop. I ate that whole thing and was full. I think my stomach is swollen still. It ebbs and flows, some days are better than others.
