Feel like I can eat too much...

I am about 3 1/2 months out of my band to sleeve revision. I follow the rule about protein first, than veggies, than carbs if I can. I can eat 4 ounces of meat easy and some veggies and a small scoop of carbs. I really did not think I would be able to eat like this comfortably so soon and I am worried I am doing something wrong. I can also eat a whole lean cuisine. Is this normal this early out?

I can eat a lot compared with most sleevers also. My sleeve comfortably holds six ounces of dense protein or about a cup of "mixed food" and I could fit more in there if I pushed it, but of course I'm not going to do that. I am five months out and have been eating the same amounts of food at a sitting since about two months and during the past three months I haven't felt any increase in the amount need to eat in order to get the queue that I'm full.

sounds like a lot but it really needs to be measured to tell. It looks like you are dong well with your weight loss. If you were not able to eat this much you might loose too much weight. Maybe the surgeon left you a larger size stomach. I am about 8 months out and I can eat about 3/4 of a lean cuisine. but not all of the mashed potatoes.

I too feel like I can hold more than I should...but it varies depending on the time of day. Also, I've had to learn what full really feels like compared to "band" full. It's different. Weight loss is going well, so I figure I'll just keep plugging along.

I had plication and I can eat even more than that at 10 weeks out. A whole lean cuisine is no problem for me either. It's distressing but I eat less than I used to and am using this as motivation to make good choices. It might ean slower weight loss but that's ok. Just kep up the good work!

I am 8 months out and while I still cannot take in that large of an amount at one time, I am finding that I am getting hungry more often.

For me, it depends what I am eating. Certain foods like beans fill me up with literally three bites, but I can eat a bowl of watermelon. I guess it depends on the density of the food

Wish I could I'm 3weeks out and cooked 2 eggs added a lil cheese with a small bit of sourcream and i couldn't eat more than 3 bites and threw the rest out cause cold eggs are not good reheated to me.
