Feel like in the beginning when I was released to all food that the amount I could eat was consistent, I would measure it would always be one bite less than my portion...nowadays I've slacked on measuring but for the most part if I'm eating the same or similar thing, one day I can eat the entire thing, the next not even close! It's so odd to me! Here's an example...I ate the entire lunch a couple days ago then today this is all I could finish! So weird, it's the same with salads which I often eat(always meat mostly first) but some days I could eat my whole serving others I stop so early odd!

I go through periods where I can eat a lot ten it just goes away and I can hardly eat anything. I think it has something yo do with my level of activity for any given day.

Though I am pretty consistent in servings sizes, I have noticed I can't eat as much sometimes. No idea why, but I'll take it since I was not one of the lucky ones who lost the hunger feeling.

I find it is what I am eating. Somethings "fit" better in my sleeve. I have a friend who had it done and man can she shovel in the salad!

We were sleeved within a month of one another, so I guess my experience is applicable. I've noticed that there are times at work that I can eat my entire lunch comfortably and other times I might eat 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 and feel fine. There are other times that I might eat a couple crackers and not think about eating again.

I'm not sure what causes that. I think for me, it depends on my stress level and how busy I am. If I'm really in a hurry, I find that I eat less because I know that it'll take me a good 30 minutes to finish and I need part of that 30 mins to run copies, use the bathroom, grab some materials, tidy my classroom, etc.

My portion sizes have been all over the place. Some days I can eat a lot more than others. Today I'm not hungry, so I ended up drinking a Protein shake for lunch. I'm exhausted (kids up all night) and food didn't sound good at all.

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
