Anybody find that they can eat a little more than they thought. I read about people only being able to eat 2oz-4oz and I find a can eat about a little less than a cup before I feel full. I was sleeved May 31st. I know everyone's pouch is different but please tell me it's not just me and I'm not doing anything wrong here.

Ok that cools my mind a bit I read about people only getting 2-4 oz and i starting wondering if I screwed something up.

I could eat more when I was on liquid and purees The minute I switched to solid regular food that stopped. I often can barely get down 1to2 oz. of Protein and only about 1/2 cup of anything with substance. Some days are different then others for me. Today I can't seem to get much of anything before I feel full and is a challenge to eat enough, but I just listen to my body and adjust what I eat. Today more Soup and Protein Shakes and tomorrow maybe meat will feel good. You're not to far out so be patient sometimes what you can eat changes overnight.

I am on the same exact boat. I feel like I've been able to eat more than what is recommended. And it worries me to think that this may not work for me because i have felt normal from the day I walked out the hospital, hardly any pain I get hungry, I already had a hard time getting enough Water in. I need serious help.

Another thing I have noticed it depends on what it is that fills me faster.

I am 4 wks out, had at least 2 oz of beef filet, 1 crab leg and half an ear of corn for dinner tonight and was not uncomfortable at all. Definitely more room in my sleeve than expected.

Sleeved Jun 3--I can usually manage 3/4 cup of Soup before feeling full. I am finding that liquids are much easier to get in now---I am able to drink rather than sip.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
