My surgery was 3/23. I too feel like I can eat more than I should be able to, but I definitely feel full if and when I eat too much, too fast, or God Forbid, take a sip of Water before the suggested 30 minute wait time.

Initially, I was losing 1 to 2 pounds a day. Then I stalled out for what seemed like 3 weeks. And then I began losing again. I've lost 16 pounds since 5/17. Oddly enough, I feel like I'm losing more now that I can eat freely. I guess my body knows I'm not in starvation mode for sure and is using the calories I consume for energy.

I give it another couple of days before I finally break free of the 300s 😊 I'm so excited!

Good for you. That’s awesome!!! I think I am in the middle of a stall. At least I hope it is just a stall and not a sign that I need to cut calories again. I have only lost 25 since surgery, 40 total since pre-op but I was a lower BMI to begin. I think I need to add more exercise. I was just doing brisk walking each day but I think I need to do more. I feel like I am a slow loser even for lower BMI but I don’t really know for sure. I may call the dr Monday and ask what’s typical for someone like me.

Oh yeah, you were much smaller than me at your starting weight. My doctor told me that the smaller I get, the harder it will be to lose weight as I won't be using the same amount of energy to burn calories, as I did at 350lbs.

Its absolutely amazing to see the various starting sizes of people who have undergone this surgery and are on this journey. I am honestly trying to get down to your starting weight lol

Thanks for sharing Jazzy! I thought I was the only one who felt like I was eating more then most ppl. I know we are all different, but man has it been quite the mind game with food. Congratulations on being almost out of the 300s.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
