10 months Post op: How much to eat?



Recommended Posts

I got gastric sleeve about 10 months ago. I feel like I'm eating too much and haven't really lost any weight for about a month now. So I'm worried. I have my next appointment soon, but I figured I'd ask people here. ❤️

If you're 10+ months post op, how much do you eat in one day??

Any tips on how to keep losing? I'm starting to exercise more too! I just get hungry easier now!

Hi YandereAngel,

I am currently 7 months Post Operative. The normal day looks like this:

Morning- 2x coffee with 150ml of skim milk

Breakfast- 90 grams of Oats with Strawberry's and Blueberries averaging out to around 5 ounces

Morning tea- Coffee with 100ml of Skim milk

Lunch- 95 Grams of tuna on 2 Vita-Weat biscuits

Afternoon tea Coffee with 100ml of skim milk again and 30 grams of Almonds

Min afternoon: Protein Shake

Dinner- Normally meat and veggies max 5 ouces per serving.

I consume around 800-1100 calories a day.

I weigh everything to ensure I'm not eating any more than the required 5 ounces per meal. Some days I have a snack after dinner this is normally a piece of fruit or 5 ounces of yogurt.

I am now at past goal weight so trying to maintain however its easier said than done I'm still losing.

We are going to need more information.

What was your starting weight, current weight, goal weight?

What and how much are you currently eating, and compared to a few months ago

Activity level now vs a few months ago

This could be a normal slow down as you get near goal, or it could be backsliding and sabotaging your WL, but with the info you gave there is no way to tell.

Hard to give you any advice because you have not posted what you were instructed to consume and what you are consuming now.

How much are you eating now? Do you weigh or measure your meals? Do you track your food in a program? What are your macros. You show me yours, and I'll show you mine. :D I'm 10.5months RNY.

I was sleeved just a few weeks before you. As others have stated, we can't really help you much, since you didn't post what you've been eating, but I'll just tell you how I eat. I really just eat until I'm satisfied/full. I can usually eyeball how much that'll be. I focus on primarily eating Protein, which gets me fuller faster than high-carb foods would. For Breakfast, I may have an egg with some shredded cheese and a few pieces of bacon or 1 piece of sausage. For lunch, I'll usually have a grilled chicken breast with a slice of cheese on it. For dinner, I may have a few meatballs. Just things like that. I usually have a Protein Shake between lunch and dinner to hold me over and to just get more protein in. I also try to get at least 90oz of Water daily

One of the other posters seem to think it was an ounce for months out, that would make you 10oz or 2/3 rds a cup,would that be close to what you are eating ?😗

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
