sometimes....amounts of food eaten



Recommended Posts

I am almost 3 months post-op and have had 2 fills.

Sometimes I can hardly eat anything ~ right now I am having a weight watchers rice bowl and can barely finish it.

Other times I can eat and eat and eat..... almost like old times..

I have seen many threads about this before, but I am wondering does the amount of food you can eat always flip flop? Or is that how you know when you have hit your 'sweet spot', when a WW frozen meal makes you full? anytime, all the time?

Hey! Well I'm not really going to be any help to you but I was wondering the same thing. I am one month post op with one fill and I can still eat alot. I don't really know what I should be able to eat. I haven't "stuffed" myself since the surgery but I never really feel full like I used to. Just wondering if anyone has any insight on the subject. Good luck to you. How much have you lost??

Scarlett - I'm the same way. Some days I have more restriction than others. I've notice that TOM I am tighter and cannot eat quite as much. I don't think I'm quite to my sweet spot, but close enough. I'm always tightest in the mornings also. I usually have coffee before I eat. It seems to help loosen me up a bit. By dinner I can eat the most - some nights more than others.

i feel as you all do, too. i've been filled twice so far & i never feel any different than i used to. granted, i can only eat 1 cheeseburger when i used to eat 2 but i still don't really feel restricted! i suppose that maybe i need to work a little harder & actually eat better but i have some days i just wake up HUNGRY!!! those days i TRY to drink more Water & have slim fast or another Protein Shake but sometimes the food cravings get the best of me. those are the days that i tend to snack between meals instead of following the rules for the 3 a day! PERHAPS I NEED AN APPETITE SUPPRESSANT?? or not...i KNOW its head hunger but i haven't learned just exactly how to control that yet. i guess it comes with time.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
