Steak! I had a filet at 4 weeks and it was delicious!

How many ounces were you able to eat at 6 wks?

I can eat about 3-4 oz up to 6 depending on the food.

Right now I can eat half a hamburger patty with some cheese and a slice of bacon. Another meal is 2 slices of deli meat with a triangle of laughing cow cheese in a rollup situation. If I'm doing canned chicken with buffalo sauce, I can eat 3/4 of the can no problem.

3-4 ounces depending on the density of the food. I ate a packet of the Starkist tuna Creations and it was yummy. I think I ate about 2 ounces of steak and an ounce of a sweet potato. I'm at 8 weeks now and it's probably close to the same. I had the tuna tonight and didn't eat the whole 2.8 pouch - i had a few rice crackers with it.

My average calorie intake per day for the last month has been 700 calories.

Wow! My calorie intake is over 1000! I have wondered if that was too many! I am 4 weeks post op! Since the surgery, I have lost 8 pounds. You have me thinking I am eating to many calories!

When I went for my 6 week check up my surgeon said not to go over 1000 calories a day. But it can be different for anyone. Probably depending on your starting weight, etc. If cal the office and ask if you're unsure.

I just had my surgery last Monday, so I am not as far along as you, but I wonder where you get your recipe ideas from. Right now it all sounds so good to me!

@MrsG#1 it could be a number of things. Stalls are normal. Try drinking more Water. Flush out your system might help.

1000 CALORIES AT 4 WEEKS?? How ?? I have never seen that. Is this what your surgeon asked you to be on? If yes then wonderful, but I would love to know what you could be having to put you at 1000 already, sorry for my shock lol . i know all plans vary but if you are at 1000 cals at 4 weeks what will you be on at 3 months?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
