My doctor said he made my stomach 100cc's, approximately how much will i be able to eat.  I am worried its too small.

That should be about 3.3 ounces and you should be just fine.  You will eventually be able to eat a bit more but I am pretty sure you will be happy with your capacity in the long run.

I am 6 days out, i was hoping to be able to take in like the size of a small lean cuisine after about a year ( just going by plate size).  I am a little concerned. Is that the norm for sleevers.

Eventual sleeve capacity varies greatly, mainly between surgeon and technique.

For a visual the range can be from a half of Lean Cuisine to a Hungry Man.

No sense in worrying about it.  It's done either way.  It can't be changed.  Just use it to your advantage!

Mine told me he made it 50 cc and I can eat quite enough! I think he said that to make me undereat my sleeve but probably made it larger!! But I am not testing the limits - ever! Don't worry about it. When the healing is done and the swelling has gone down you will see that it is going to be just fine.

Glad to be of help! Truly, I can eat a lot more than I thought I would be able to originally. The first weeks are not an indication of what you will end up with medium term nor long term in terms of capacity and you do want to always undereat that in any event.
