Healing

At what week did you notice you could eat the most and then it stopped - meaning how much can you eat and what week did you notice your stomach fully healed?

    I don't think you get your true capacity until about the one year mark. I could eat more at 3 months, then 6 months, and then at 12 months. My capacity from 12 to 18 hasn't changed.

Not quite sure what you mean but I don't think it is possible to know your stomach is fully healed since it is aLL on the inside. My surgeon said 6 weeks for healing. As for eating more, I can't remember, however today at 6.5 mths I still have days where I can eat more than others. Don't know why but I just do the best I can to meet my goals.

I guess I'm just wondering when I will know my stomach's "permanent" (I use this loosely) limit. By what week for example

So, I don't know each day how much I will eat. As I said before, some days I can eat more than others. Each day I work on getting protein in and can do that. My surgeon said that overtime I can expect 3/4 cup food max. As of now 1/2 cup max is it for me. We are all different so it is hard to pinpoint.
