Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  What Is Your Pouch Like?
OK IM SITTING HERE FOR THE LONGEST TIME THINKING. IS MY POUCH A NORMAL SIZE? IM 5 WEEKS POST-OP AND I WAS JUST WONDERING FROM ANYONE ELSE WHO HAD THEIR SURGERY RIGHT ABOUT MY TIME HOW MUCH YOU EAT AND DRINK? WHEN I EAT IM USUALLY LUCKY TO GET 2 OZ IN ME, 3 THE MOST WHICH IS RARE AND I THINK ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. WHEN IT COMES TO DRINKING WATER I TRY SO HARD TO DRINK AS MUCH AS I CAN BUT I DONT GET NEAR TO 64 OZ. IT JUST DOESNT FIT INSIDE ME. I ALSO FIND IT HARD TO DO SNACKS ONCE IN A WHILE I CAN DO ONE SNACK IF THAT. I KNOW EATING MORE THAN 3 TIMES A DAY IS IMPORTANT.

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

LOl Boots! I am right there with you, as a matter of fact, I think I just ate 1.5 oz for dinner and I got that feeling "ut oh, you better stop now". It seems to vary on days though, one day this week, I was absolutely famished and actually ate about 3 oz, but normally it is just 2 oz. The drinking is taking the better part of my day, I just cant get it all in either. I have my water bottle in front of me at all times. I think that I have it easy now, because of my tube, as I am still using that for most of my protein. My surgeon told me that he wanted me to use it as much as possible until it is removed. By then, I will be at another stage in eating and will be able to get more protein in. I am still having that problem with the smell of the protein making me sick!

See I am way different I can eat 4 oz of shrimp at a time and about 3-4 oz of fish, I also eat 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, 4 oz of yogurt. I eat 3 meals and 3 snack. I can also take normal drinks of water and I can drink my 64 oz plus another 24oz. I am wondering if my pouch is too big. My doc said at my 2 weeks check up that he was impressed that I could eat 4 oz already. I ate 1/2 cup cubed cheese lastnight and it was fine. I have a few times over eaten and had to throw up but that was in the beginning, now I seem to eat normal. I dunno maybe I am weird edited to add I dont eat all that at once For Breakfast I have 4 oz yogurt snack 1/2 cup no sugar added ice cream Lunch 4 oz Shrimp Snack 1/2 cup cubed cheese Dinner Shrimp 4 oz Snack sf jello |

well add this to the puzzle lol: i can drink 6 ozs at a time, only eat 3 ozs of yogurt, and only eat 2 ozs of meat, fish or anything generally solid lol! there is no rhyme or reason honestly. i guess we all heal and stretch out at different paces. I am still waiting to be able to eat a cup of food lol! now somedays i can eat WAY MORE but those are few and far between. and some days i can only drink but this is my usual. no clue what its about or who should be able to eat how much.

And I can't even begin to think about snacking. I have to force myself to eat my breakfast, lunch is ok, and for dinner. Today was as follows: (Mind you that I get up at 3:30 am on a work day) Morning 1/2 c decaf coffee with equal 45 mins later...1.5 / 2 oz of grits or oatmeal Lunch 1.5 / 2 oz soup few bites of applesauce Dinner 1/2 oz of mashed potatoes almost 2 oz of reduced fat tomato soup |
