I am two months out of surgery and after one month I had eaten a little too much and it made me sick so since then I have really monitored my intake by amount rather than fullness and I am not loosing much weight at all but I figured slow and steady was the important thing.

Anyway last night I was making dinner and got a phone call, there was a crisis at work and as I'm making plates I am on my headset talking the entire time. My husband was in the living room and he said "You are on your 3rd taco" and I said "I can't be, I can't eat that much anymore". Anyway, he was right, as I was talking I had eaten 3 tacos and here's the issue. I wasn't overly full or sick or anything.

I am so worried and upset. i think my stitches have come out or I've stretched my stomach. I dread going back to the hospital in Mexico, I was so ill after the surgery and I just don't know what to do, but this was totally my pre-surgery amount of food. I can see eating too much and getting sick but not eating too much and feeling fine and not overly full. There is something very very wrong and I'm afraid I've done something to my stomach. ANY help would be appreciated.

Hi,

First, sorry you are going through this. I'm wondering if it's because you were eating dinner. I am only a month out but I notice that I can eat more at night than during the day. I also seem to be able to eat more when I'm at home than when I'm at restaurants, I'm not sure why.

Maybe do the 5 day pouch test and see if you can gauge your tummy size? You can google it and get info.

Good luck to you!!

I am the exact same way. I have a very small Breakfast and lunch along with a couple of small Snacks throughout the day and I am full after each meal. But, at dinner, I can eat much more before I feel full. I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow and I this is one of the things I am going to ask him about. Also there are days when I don't feel much restriction. Then there are days when I have a lot of restriction.
