How much food can you eat?



Recommended Posts

i have a question and i need some advice and some help. I am 4 weeks post op. I have lost 11 pounds . I saw my surgeon today. he says i am doing good. i told him that i can eat a cup to a cup and half of food. i am more hungry and can eat more in the afternoon. think i even ate 2 cups at a time a couple of days ago. anyway, i asked about a fill. he said i am doing good and he may not give me one like i was told he would on my 6th week visit. i am discouraged. i want a fill. i think i need one to. he told me to eat only a cup of food, 3 times a day. how do you do this with no restriction? any suggestions? i told him that i am hungry and that i would like a fill two weeks from today and he started with this Fills are not majic speech. I am trying hard, exercising, changed what i eat, vitimans, etc. but he made it sound like i was out of line asking for a fill when i am do one. did anyoen of you guys have surgeons that were very consertive on the fills? thanks.

I just got my first fill and the doctor told me it would feel like I had no restriction for a little longer. They say it takes about 3 fills. My doctor fills no more frequently that 4 weeks apart. I'm pretty good with about a cup of food, but get hungry so I have small Snacks.

Protein Water is good because it keeps me full throughout the day.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
