How much can you eat?



Recommended Posts

Okay, I am 4 months post op......how much am I supposed to be eating???? I can go 4 or 5 hours without getting hungry (so thats great!) but when I do eat....for example this a.m. I had 2 scrambled eggs, one of those round sausage patties, and a piece of toast. Should I be eating all of this? Someone please tell me what you are eating..........give me some examples:smile2: Thanks to all!~~

I could almost eat that. Not quite perhaps.

As to whether its too much - are you eating till you're FULL? Try to stop at satisifed. Are you eating slowly so that you can recognise satisfied creeping up on you?

And most importantly are you losing weight. If your'e losing weight and not stretching out your stomach (by eating till you feel stuffed) then there's no problem with the amount you're eating. If you're not losing weight well and its taking that much to satisfy you then its time to think about another fill.

How much did you eat before? Actually, 2 scrambled eggs, a patty and toast isn't all that much food. And if you stay full up to 5 hours, sounds to me like you're doing great.

As urwhatueat said, if you are still losing at least 1-2 pounds a week, then you are doing great. Relax and enjoy your success!

For me, I find it is not the band itself that makes me not hungry.

I was taught to eat every 3-4 waking hours, whether I am hungry or not. I eat mostly Protein & never more than one cup of food at a time. I would never have imagined that eating like that regularly would turn into rarely being hungry or haivng cravings.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
