Sorry, not familiar with whether you are a bander, bypasser or if you've had a sleeve....but a 2 egg omlette with cheese & a slice of toast????? Lol, there is no way I could eat that & I'm a bypasser almost 5 months out! Are you still on soft foods or are you supposed to be on solids now?

Have a read through some of the stickys in the post-op diet section (Post-Op Diet - WLSurgery.com - Weight Loss Surgery Support); they should help you in deciding what sorts of foods are suitable & when to try them. As with anything though, they are just guidelines, much is trial & error on your behalf, but never be tempted to eat more than you feel comfortable with, just because someone has said that is how much you should be eating. It is a highly personal thing how much each individual can manage to eat post-op & varies from person to person, and also with what you are eating. Hth xx

See how you feel, I wouldn't necessarily go back to purees, unless you feel you've moved onto solids too soon? I would suggest persevering with solids, but just try much smaller portions...when I first went onto solids, literally a few mouthfulls would fill me up & I was done xxx

Hi janelouise,

i had my sleeve on the 8th and was advised:

2 weeks liquids
2 weeks puree (think baby food consistency)
2 weeks mushy (mashed potato/milky weetabix)
Then solids (cant come quick enough haha)

But they have advised that i will be eating approximately what i can put on a saucer plate. I'd say a 2 egg omlette is bigger than that, and the toast has to fit on the plate too! So id say it was too much, but you did the right thing by listening to your body and stopping x
