Amount of food.

I am 7 weeks out and can eat more food then I was told I can eat. What does it mean? Did I stretched my sleeve? I am panicking.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. Measure & weigh your food and stick to the portion your doctor prescribed.

How much is the correct amount of food and how many times a day? And any suggestions for Breakfast. I fave a hard time with it.

Everyone eats differently however you don't want to vomit that definitely stretches the stomach and my nutritionist told me when I feel pressure to back away from the food

I was told 3-4ozs. Try eating a boiled egg for Breakfast or stick with a Protein Shake if you are allowed.

I was told the same thing 3-4 oz of food, stop when you feel the restriction.

I have a Protein Shake or yogurt or an crustless quiche for breakfast. The recipe is below

No, it doesn't. I was severely nauseated and vomited constantly for my first few weeks post op until my doc prescribed meds to stop it. For my first year, I vomited at least once a day, my second year, 2-3 times a week, and now, at year 3, at least once a week.

I can't eat more than 1/2 cup at a time most days. Vomiting doesn't stretch a sleeve. How is that even possible?

It can cause pressure on the lining of the stomach and rupture the incision areas

Ripping your incision VS. stretching your sleeve. Big difference.

Breakfast suggestion: scrambled egg! i was never crazy about them before but they are my go to for sure now! they are quick, easy, nice amount of Protein and the texture goes down easily. sometimes i add a half piece of toast or some lemon pepper tuna on the plate as well but usually 1 egg is plenty. just eat bites slowly. I'm three months out and haven't been sick once from eating anything.
