Feel like I can eat too much...



Recommended Posts

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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
