Just curious to the VSG'ers who are 2 + years out. How many ounces can you eat at one time or that you allow yourself?  How many did your doc say you would be able to hold after this long post-op??

im 9 months out and can eat 4 oz protein and around 4 oz veggies , my surgeon said by 1-1/2 years 8-12 oz is normal

 a pre surgery stomach can easily hold 32+ oz 

how much it can hold and how much and what you put in it are 2 different things

I say under 800 cal most (95%) of the time try for 80 gm protein and around 30 carbs and of course at least 65 oz liquids

I have a large, loosely sewn sleeve (in the 40's).  IF I am super hungery I can eat 4 ounces of steak, a very small salad, and maybe a bit or two of starch.  A normal meal may have 3-4 ouncers of protein, but I rarely eat beef so that is usually chicken or seafood.  If it is a soft protein, I an eat maybe 6 ounces of something like cottage cheese with 2 or 3 strawberies- and that makes me uncomfortably full.  I no longer remember how much my doc said the capacity would be.

Doc said 8-12 oz and that's right where I am.  Can't eat 12 oz of dense protein, but can eat 4-6 oz of meat, some veggies, and maybe a bite of starchy food, although most meals that I fix are meat and veg.

My capacity still maxes out at 4 ounces no matter what I eat. Meat is less though.
