your stomach is pretty swollen the first few weeks from the surgery so it doesn't have much capacity. So yes - as time goes on and the swelling goes away you can eat more. You probably haven't stretched it. Just make sure you're following your plan - just because you *can* eat something doesn't mean you should. I still watch my volume at over 4 years out..

and yes - weight loss slows down quite a bit after the first few months.

I know today I woke up hoping to stick to my plan from now I've been slacking tbh
So would I still loose weight ? When do I stop loosing weight ? I'm scared I won't loose anymore :(

Are you eating Protein first? I know if I ever go away from that golden rule I can overeat and eat things that I don’t “need”. I’m in my 6th month and I could eat more than I should pretty easily. Lean protein first. Then add veggies. Then a whole grain carb if you’re still hungry. And don’t forget to drink a lot before you eat. Get the Water in. Log your food if you stopped. It will tell you how many calories you’re really having.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
