How much protein can you all eat at 17 months out or more?

 I was eating a chicken burger with a wheat bun. It was 3 oz than ate 3 oz of a yoplait light fat free yogurt. I am so full I cant even move lol.

Wondering how big you all eat that are 1 year or more out. Thanks Val.

Val,

At 28 months post-op I can eat 4-6 oz. of dense protein in one sitting. However, chicken and bread together would cause me problems. Since the VSG I cannot tolerate chicken and if a bun was added I would be in even more pain. I cannot eat dense protein and bread at the same time without discomfort.

 sinse my vsg I can not eat ground burger. I can only eat 4 oz of dense protein with out bread. Bread does not bother me. If I just ate 4 oz of meat than I could not eat the bun. I might be able to eat a 1/3 cup of cottage cheese but have not tried that with 4 oz of meat.

Val, 

I have the same issue with ground meat. Steak poses no problem but ground beef makes my stomach hurt. 

 Two to three ounces of meat is about it.  Like the above poster, if bread is in the mix, I'm hurting.  A couple of bites and I'm sorry.

Hey Val!!

I can eat 2 oz..sometimes 2-1/2 oz of chicken (boneless skinless)..one tenderloin fills me..with nothing else.  I still cannot eat bread of any kind, makes me feel ill.  I am 20 mths postop.

I'm about 15.5 months out and I usually eat 2.5-3 ounces of dense protein, depending upon the protein source.  I do not eat the protein with bread. In fact, I don't eat bread on a regular basis.  I do eat some veggies with my protein.

Ya know, it seems to depend on the day but I would say a few ounces. Some days I can eat more, some days less.

 Depends on the day and the protein... Tonight I had 3.75 oz. of tortilla crusted tilapia and could have probably eaten more.  The other night I had 3.5 oz of a homemade slider with 1.5 oz of sweet potato fries... today for lunch I had 4 large turkey meatballs and sauce.

I guees no more than 4oz....

It depends on the day.  I'd say max 4-5 oz.
