Any sleevers not getting full
3 crackers with chicken or tuna salad on it? i dont think that is too much, but of course contact your doctor if it concerns you. i am 4 week post op and can eat about 3-4 ozs of cottage cheese and feel full, but only about 2 ounce of tuna or chicken. if you are concerned about eating too much, how about getting a small food scale, weigh out your food in ounces, and just eat that amount?
the big question is could you have just eaten that little before you were sleeved?

Ummmm.....at 8 weeks out, consuming 2 tablespoons at a time??!!! Use your common sense and realize your doc is wrong, NOT YOU!
I'd be in a suicide mission if I was eating 2 tablespoon sized meals at this point. Unless your doc wants you on 2-3 shakes a day, there's no way you could even get 20 g of protein in just a couple of tablespoons of food.
I'm 6 weeks out, and I'm eating generally, 2 oz of meat, sometimes 3 if I'm not eating anything else, or I'll add like a 1/4 cup of veggies or something. I could easily eat a cup of yogurt or cottage cheese, but I try to keep it around 1/2 cup for the most part.

Two tablespoons at 8 weeks out seems like it's too little. Of course you need to do what your dr. says but I'm 3 weeks out and I eat 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) or close to it. That's of something like cottage cheese. Not quite so much if it's chicken or refried beans. How often are you supposed to eat?
