Hi There, I was sleeved on August 12th and I can hardly eat anymore than the 6-8 bites you are referring to. I can eat just about anything I want but I'm eating smaller portions. This has been a life changing event for me so I have changed the foods I eat but the last few weeks I've eaten some not so healthy foods because of the holidays. I did learn at one of my appointments some doctors leave the actual stomach size smaller or larger depending on how much weight loss is required. I had a friend that had the same surgery a month before me and 8 weeks after surgery she was eating two pieces of pizza and even now (almost 5 months out) there is no way I can even eat a full piece that is thin crust. But it sounds like you are doing well and are on the right path, the surgery is a tool and what we do with it is all up to us. I have had a lot of success with the sleeve, but I was larger to start out and I do exercise heavily boot camps, body pump and I have started running, no marathon by any means (kudos to you for that!!). Keep up the good work and just stay focused on the end result.

Sound like your doing well-I have surgery on Monday the 12th so it's good to hear some things to expect.
