Can eat more at certain times.

[JennsJourney 205]

I'm almost 4 months post-op and I'm noticing a strange phenomenon. Most meals I can eat around 6-8 bites. I always do a majority Protein and a few bites of veggies. I very seldom eat carbs.

But what I'm noticing is that on certain days I can eat more than normal. I'm not talking crazy amounts but more like 10 bites instead of 6. But I know my stomach doesn't change size and I'm not eating amounts that make me sick so why do I feel my restriction differently on certain days???

Thanks for your input!

Are you eating the exact same thing every time? Are you drinking liquids right before most meals and not before the meals you can get a few more bites in? Are you drinking with meals sometimes?

If none of those make any sense, then chalk it up to the human body's ever amazing ability to whimsically screw with us.

Not sure.

I try my best to never eat until I'm full. I honestly try to eat the correct amounts and let that be it. I usually never test things that way.

I am 11 1/2 months post-op and have the same issue - sometimes different days, sometimes within the same day, sometimes it depends on what I am eating. Just make sure to pay attention to your portions recommended by your NUT for now.

I have the same thing. I can barely eat anything most mornings but in the evening I'm starving and can eat a greater quantity. It worries me a little just because I don't want to be eating at night but I'm starving.
