    Question How much should I be eating in one sitting?

    Hi - could use your perspective. I was sleeved on May 5 and last night I didn't have anything in the house and ate a 10 oz frozen Amy's dinner. I was horrified that I ate the whole thing. I think the nutritionist said about 3/4 of a cup which is 6 ounces. Did I stretch out my stomach? I feel like I'm eating more than I should and am completely disgusted with myself. Would really appreciate your perspective on amount on appropriate portion size 2 months out.

    Thank you!!

    Well there are different kinds of foods..The thing you should shoot for is PROTEIN FIRST, then veggies, then fruit and carbs.
    So because i dont know what kind of food you had..i dont know..but there are slider foods, which are easy to get down (carbs) and these are not good for you..i dont think you will stretch your stomach at this early point..but just know that you need to think this way..protein first..
    i used to have oatmeal every morning before the sleeve, after the sleeve, i had some oatmeal..but then i know it says protein first..so i have been working on getting that in first..
    dont be disgusted at yourself..learn...just learn to listen to your body..and stay away from slider foods...take care...

    I was sleeved on May 4, for breakfast I usually eat 2 eggs with 1/4 to 1/3 cup sautéed veggies, lunch and dinner is 3 to 3.5 oz's protein - chicken, fish, turkey, lean beef, venison, pork, ect. and 1/4 to 1/3 cup veggies. that's all I can eat at a sitting, I'm totally full and satisfied, sometimes I cant finish the veggies and push them away, lately I've been adding some fruit into my meals instead of veggies. Listen to your body, eat slow, and don't drink anything 30 min. before or after eating. Make sure your getting at least 64 oz's of water a day. I feel like a new man and I'm loosing weight like it's a bad habit. You can do this, just apply your knowledge to your plan, good luck. Dean

    I am almost 4 months out and can eat 6 to 8 oz per meal. Take it slow and learn what your sleeve will tolerate and don't over fill it. You wont stretch it with one meal but continually over loading it will stretch it out.
    This is going to be quite an adventure
