Your diet composition and how frequently you eat determines how hungry you are for the most part. If I eat CRAP and carby stuff? I want to eat every 2 hours. It's hell for 2-4days to break that cycle.

I replied to you, because food never gets stuck and because I have a large tool. Glad you're eating healthy. My journey is in my signature. I'm trying to explain (not very well) that to cont

I eat pretty healthy. I mean for example, if I have some steamed veggies with grilled chicken (I meal prep these in mason jars) people say protein will stick with you longer, but in my case it doesnt.
I need to know if there are other people like me. From day one I have not had any decrease at all in my appetite, I have been able to eat anything I've tried or wanted to eat and not gotten sick. Nothing has ever gotten stuck. I can eat chicken, real rice, bread, etc with no problem. I chew my food well but I know I dont eat slowly enough and yet I still never feel sick.
Obviously if I eat these things it's not every day and not very much. I do feel the restriction in terms of each meal that I eat but I am hungry all the time and I feel like I need to eat every 2 hours or so. I hear so many people talk about things getting stuck or never being hungry. I know I had a very good surgeon and other people in the practice seem to have a variety of outcomes so I know he doesnt just leave everyone with extra large pouches.
Did anyone else have a similar outcome after bypass? And if so how has your journey and success been?
