Do you miss it? I don't, I thought I would but I really don't. I couldn't even finish a 3oz cup of jello and I was completely satisfied.

I think at some point - maybe that first Thanksgiving dinner or holiday party - everyone sort of misses the eating until you're stuffed thing. Or if not that, at least the ability to eat a bite of everything you want to try, instead of just the three things you have room for!

But it's fleeting and for me it was easy to adjust to my new normal. I'm now on the other side and completely disgusted when I see people inhaling tremendous portions of food like there's no tomorrow. I never thought I'd be that person (the judgmental - if only on the inside - ex-fattie) but I can't seem to help it. More than two years of very small and now more reasonable portions and anything more than 3 oz. of meat or 1/2 cup of a side seems like excess to me.

So far, I dont miss it either. I know my kids love it though.....every time I eat anything like a cup of Jello or pudding or even if I measure out my 1/4 cup of puree's they know they WILL end up getting the few bites left over.

My hubby had bypass going on 3 yrs ago and they have been eating his leftovers already...now they get mine too

There have been a few times that I had a WTF did I do moment but for the most part I don't miss it and actually now totally get nauseated looking at the amounts of food people eat when we go out and think about how much I consumed absolutely disgusts me.

Oh my god, me too!! Now I can't believe how much people can eat! Or that I was ever able to eat that much (and usually more). Now I absolutely LOVE that I can't eat that much. I'm full after only a few bites! It's great!

Same here it surprises me how little i miss it. Bonus!!

Um, I hold the record at my local Quaker steak and lube. 64 wings at one sitting. I was very proud of that. Now, I'm happy that my Emilybites cupcake is more than enough.
