Hey everyone!! I’m 6 months post op this 23rd and have lost 107 lbs since surgery! I’m ecstatic for my progress so far and need to lose about 40 more to be at my goal weight (fingers crossed). But lately I’ve been seeing myself being able to eat more that usual. I’ve went from 2-3 ounces to eat 4-5 ounces of food. Most of the time it consists of a good diet such as chicken salads or eggs, sausage , yogurt fruit and etc and I do keep up with my fluids. I just want to know if it’s normal to be eating this amount at 6 months post op? Also I don’t eat any carbs if it isn’t a pretzel here and there. I just want to be consistent and I’m scared that I maybe eating too much and my pouch has stretched !!! Any advice is appreciated
Here’s a before and after pic!!!

I have been on solids since day 4, and already back then we could eat up to 5 oz. But in volume, not weight. I never did in the beginning, but I have for the past 4-6 weeks. I'm 12 weeks post op.

According to the instructions that I was given:

Months 4-6 each meal should be 4 ounces.

Months 7-9 each meal should be 5 ounces.

Also you may have fresh fruit or vegetables as a daily snack.

at six months out I was eating 800-1000 calories a day, if that helps. As long as you're still losing weight, it's working....
