Hi! Most surgeons (or the NUTS that work in that office) will give you a diet plan/guidelines once you have your surgery. For example, you may be on full/clear liquids for X amount of days/weeks, then introduce "mushies" or soft foods for X amount of days/weeks. Usually when you begin eating solids, they will have you start with 2 oz portions. I would check with your surgeon's office to see if they have a plan for you. Many plans are different, based on your surgeon's preference.

Maybe...most do have a plan, though, so don't forget to ask! Good luck with your surgery!

For me, all my sleeve will tolerate is 2 to 3 ounces. So its not by choice! I'm about 7 weeks out, and my tummy is taking its time to heal. I was so tired on just having proteins that I cut back a little on the meat and added the vegies. I only have about a tablespoon of veggies with the 2 to 2.5 oz of meat. But it depends on what your tummy will tolerate. People progress at such different rates. I'm still having trouble getting enough water in every day.
Good luck with your journey.
