10 months post op...70lbs down. From 228 to 157...fluctuate from that to 160. Hoping to lose 15-20 more lbs by my one year mark in July. Here’s my before and after so far. All these pictures were taken in the last month.

    

Go vegan! [emoji271]

Maybe practice mindfulness eating.

I could probably do this as well at 4 months post op. You've got to think that your stomach empties out around 30-45 minutes after eating. I only know this because I've thrown up within that time period and it was nothing but the notorious foamies. Therefore, yes you could continue eating with breaks for hours on end. The surgery only limits the amount that you can eat in a single setting. 3 hours is NOT a single setting. I'd be very careful with how you proceed gong forward. Its the same thing with drinks with calories.... you could drink your weight right back on.

Hi,
Yes, it is normal to have that capability 6 months out. Heck, at three months out, I have the same capability. However, as another has mentioned, that's where we have to be very careful. We can graze the pounds right back on, so we definitely have to stop when full and save to a scheduled snack or meal time.
Our stomachs are smaller, but our brains still think big which is the hardest part. It's a daily struggle for me, but I take it one meal, one bite at a time. I don't always get it perfect, but I certainly have gotten much better and down 50lbs since February.
Good luck!

If you were eating it bites at a time I would imagine you could; but why would you try? I don't want to come off as callous here, I just say this out of concern.

You should not be doing this. I was instructed from the start to eat what I could in 30 minutes then put it away for the next meal (4 hours later). I even had to do this with Protein Shakes in the beginning. Maybe try that?

Does this seem normal? I ate a big Mexican burrito in 3 hours, eating bites at a time. Thoughts?

Wow! Super sexy!

Being silly and filming all the stages

Hey guys!
So I’m showing my stomach today. Haven’t done that since surgery.. sometimes I am ashamed of my surgery scars but at the end of the day it’s my body and I love myself and I’ve learned not to care about anyone’s negative opinion.
Self consciously of course no one can see too much but it still feels good to dress like the old me, before the weight gain. I’m going out with 2 old friends today and I’m excited. Stomach doesn’t look too bad right??
I’ve been using dove lotion with pure coconut oil from whole foods and coco butter to reduce visibility of stretch marks on my stomach as well.
goal - 140
sleeved on - 121416 !
(Idk my measurements now they are prob still the same, for those who do ask whenever I post pics)
