I will be sleeved (losing band and getting sleeve) in about 11 days and I’m SUPER curious to see what and how much you guys are able to eat and at how long out from surgery! I’m obsessed with knowing how much a little stomach can hold!

I typically eat about 200-300calories a meal 4-5 meals a day and have consistently eaten that amount from 8 weeks out through currently (just about 5 months)

A typical meal for me is 2 whole eggs + a high Fiber (60 calorie) pita or something equivalent to that. Basically all my meals are 100-200 calories of a lean Protein and up to 100 calories of a fiber source.

Thank you! That seems like a normal portion! In my mind - I’m imagining the ability to eat less than that!! That seems like it’s plenty of food, but not too much! (Which is how I should be eating anyway!) So are you pretty stuffed after 2 eggs and a pita??

I guess everyone is different, I’m just about a year out...two eggs and a pita would make me stuffed and almost wanting to throw up. I can eat one egg and maybe 1/2 slice of toast in one sitting. Sometimes just the egg. I mostly eat plant based, so if a raw salad, maybe 3.5-4 oz tops. If a bean/grain dish of some sort, 2.5oz tops. I can definitely eat more now (not at one time though) then before. So even though I may have 2 oz of some food, I may eat another ounce 1-2 hours later. So, I’m pretty much eating throughout the day.

sorry I don’t have any pics to share!

I'm almost 5 months out and lunch for me is usually 2 ounces of turkey and 2 ounces of cheese and I'm stuffed. If I have meatloaf or steak for supper it's only 2 ounces of meat if I want an ounce or two of veggies. 4 ounces of meat if that's all I eat. I get full really quick with Protein.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
