So I will be 16 months post-op this month and I have had ENORMOUS success with this surgery. I'm struggling getting the last 15 pounds off but a lot of the blame falls on me because my eating habits havent been as great as they were. I'm working on that though!

My question though is this: I have noticed lately that I seem to be able to eat a LOT more than usual. I can't finish a whole plate, but I noticed last night that I had eaten a little over half before I started to feel full. Is this normal? Is this a point I should reach? I'm not too worried about stretching or anything, I had my noe year follow up where the checked my stomach with a camera and everything looked fine and healed great. I'm just more concerned that I'm eating slider foods maybe or just not being aware. I'm not sure. How much should we be able to eat once we've finished healing and are in the lifetime maintenance phase?

Thanks!

Do you have pics? An how much have u lost

I was sleeved Dec 2011 - and yes i can definately eat more then I could the first 6-12 months. I continue to work on making sure i am eating the right things, avoiding carbs, avoiding sliders and avoiding grazing. It is a lifelong struggle.

I believe what you are experieincing is normal. Check out the veterans forum on here where these kind of topics are often discussed - longer term life with the sleeve.
