Really? My surgeon never put a time restriction on us... I might have to ask about that. I have another follow-up on Thursday...

My plan says the same thing as Gwen's - I'm done after 30 minutes whether or not I've eaten a the food on my plate. 

I'm 7 weeks out tomorrow so a little bit ahead of you. Some days, I could definitely eat a 3oz turkey burger. Other days, not so much. I could barely get down 1/2 of that for dinner tonight. For me, at least, every day is different. I just track everything and stay within my plan's guidelines.

Thanks. My plan says to have a snack after dinner too, but that definitely won't happen. Lol. I still feel full. I guess this is a day-to-day experience!

everybody and every surgeons sleeve is different, if the swelling went down you should be able to eat 3-4 oz

measure and track everything , most plans call for 80 gm protein and 500-800 cal for the day plus minimum 65 oz liquid

That's exactly what my plan calls for... I just wasn't expecting to be able to eat that much & I think it kind of scared me... I don't want to overdo it. Thanks for replying!

Oh ok... I just started reintroducing meats. I was a little apprehensive, but I didn't have any problems. I'm allergic to fish, so, other than my shakes, I have to get my protein in this way...

I'm 4 months out and I still can't eat a whole burger.  But every one is different.  I try to under eat my sleeve most days.

See... that's what concerns me. I don't want to over eat my sleeve & not be successful in my weight loss...
