More space in my tiny tummy?! Or over eating?!?!?

Hey!!!

So iv seen that im able to eat a bit more then I have been!? Why is this?! Im 5 months out of gastric sleeve. Eating has become a lot more tolerable. But Iv been able to eat a bit more. I usually cant seem to toss down more then maybe 4 oz or so. The other day I was able to drink at least 6 oz with no issue!!! :0 I know I know Im dramatic! lol But yeah Iv also been on a stall, iv lost maybe 20 pounds in the last three months. I know Its going to slow down but this fast this soon? Iv lost 82lbs since surgery. I just need so clarification you guys! :)

  • You've lost 16 pounds a month on average and even if 7 ponds each of the last 3 months, how is that a stall or a slow-down? That is AWESOME! I don't think 6 oz is going to stretch your pouch.

  • We're about at the same place I can eat about 4 ounces if it's just protein, but if I'm eating veggies too then it's a bit more. Water I haven't had any problems with since surgery and can drin

Youre 100% right! Im just dramatic lol! That and the feeling of being over weight again scares me :(

We're about at the same place :)

I can eat about 4 ounces if it's just protein, but if I'm eating veggies too then it's a bit more. Water I haven't had any problems with since surgery and can drink almost as if I never had the surgery. In the time it takes me to wake up in the morning and get ready, then the drive into work, I drink 34 ounces of water. It's about 1.5 hours. At work before lunch it's another 34 ounces most of the time, and then slows down throughout the rest of the day. Although I do consistently get in around 120 ounces daily.

You've lost a lot more than me, but there are so many variables. Just focus on protein and hydration, stay active, and you'll get where you want to be.
