I feel like that some days. It is funny sometimes I can't choke down 2 bites then other times I am waiting for that too full feeling and it never comes. I am 8 months out.

I feel that way. I still eat too fast and I still eat 2 bites past the full feeling. But I do measure and track, and I am still coming in at around 800-850 calories a day with 70-90 g of Protein and about 40 g of carbs, plus I am losing, slowly, but with minimal stalls. So I doubt I am truly overeating. It also depends on the type of food. Dense Protein is harder to overeat, but wet food like eggs or deli turkey, goes down way too easy. The good news for me is that I can eat anything and have never been nauseous. The bad news is that I can eat anything! I haven't tried bread of sweets, and probably won't for a long time, as that is a slippery slope for me. My thought is that "I'm a bite away from a bagel a day".

I feel this way all the time. I am 3 months post op. I have kidney disease so I cannot eat as much Protein as everyone else so mine is a little different. I eat anywhere from 600-1000 calories a day. My doctor says I should eat when I'm hungry eat slow and eat until I'm full. But definitely feel like a 1000 is too much. I have lost 75 lbs in three months need to exercise more but I haven't had any stalls yet.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
