VSG 7 wks. ago can only get about 2 tbsp in.

I was sleeved on 6-25, and am down 24 pounds!  Onederland is 5 small pounds away!

I am a little concerned that I can only get about 2 tablespoons of food in me at a time, and sometimes, I even feel overly full on that.  So pretty much, there is absolutely nothing save protein getting in.  Protein drinks have started making me gag, which isn't pleasant in the least, someone really needs to concoct up a extended release protein pill.  

Is it just that my sleeve is still so new, that I can't get more in?  I will be the first to admit that I am overly cautious about getting too full, as twice now I ate too fast and ended up getting sick, but when I take 45 min. and only 2T, it's a little frustrating when I'm trying to get in 60g and 64 oz. 

My next follow up is next Friday, I'm hoping to be doing a little better on my goals by then.

For 7 weeks out - it sounds like you aren't getting in as much as most people, but you may still have a lot of swelling.

Definitely discuss with your surgeon!

I am nearly 5 weeks out and can only get in the same amount. I am having to drink a protein drink each night to hit my goal each day of 70+ g daily.

My doc and NUT told me it would take at least 8 weeks to be healed and up to 6 months! I'm getting in about 50g of protein in a day and about 44 oz. of fluids....maybe 50 if I stay up later and wake up in the middle of the night and suck on some ice chips. It is hard. I'm 5 days out (had the surgery on Monday). I get up as early as my body will let me because I know I need every moment to get fluids and protein in given the parameters before I am worn out. Just keep working it.

I think I was about the same in stomach capacity as you are.  I could only eat about 2 oz at 6 weeks.  The swelling in my stomach went down in week 7, and my capacity increased.   I would guess you'll have a break-through soon and be able to eat more.

Good luck..  I wish you well on your weight-loss journey.
