10 weeks, can eat more?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm 10 weeks out now, and just in the last 2 days it seems like I can eat more than usual. For instance, usually I can eat 2 of my homemade Protein bites and feel full. Now I eat two and feel like I could eat at least one more, maybe two. Huh? I'm drinking more/faster too. I'm not hungrier, just have more room all of a sudden.

Husband and I joked tonight that maybe I wasn't really sleeved, but got the privation and the stitches (things) popped. Lol. No way, I can't even eat close to what I could in the past.

So is this'd pretty common around 10 weeks? I know some way farther out than me that can't eat chicken.

Depends on what I eat but at times I feel like can eat more never a lot a lot 3/4 cup at most and usually eat 1/2 cup I'm almost 9 weeks. I know in time will be able to eat little more but never what I could before, and seen others say that they can eat little more in time

I'm trying to think. (Never a good thong lol)

I measure with scales, and I'm trying to visualize my Breakfast in a cup. I'd say it was around half a cup max. dinner, 2 oz chicken and a Protein bite "dessert". Yeah, probably about half cup

Do you ever have days that you swear you ate too much, look at mfp and realize you've only gotten 500 calories? Lol. Happens to me at least once a week.

I do when its that tine of month so thise are my days I splurge. It has kept me out of stalls. I eat very good for the rest of the month. When I say splurge I don't mean go crazy but I take in a few extra calories.

You know, I should start any day now. How would Sleevie be bigger when my uterus is throwing a fit? How's it related?

And today, I wasn't able to eat like yesterday. I think stress tenses up my sleeve.

I have days, like this morning, where I can eat 2-3 tablespoons of food and be full. Then I have days where I've eaten almost 3/4 of a sandwich. I think it's normal, weight is still coming off nicely. Just don't go too crazy too often and all will be well :)

I think hormones cause the sleeve to relax. I'm not sure but it makes sense to me haha!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
