My hunger has decrease a lot BUT i still get hungry. I still have cravings and make bad choices sometime. But i do eat so much better than pre-op thats for sure. I was very disappointed that i didn't lose my hunger as some sleevers. But its not as bad as before. My hardest time is usually in the afternoon or late evening.

Thank you sooo much CPA! that makes total sense to me!! wow you are doing amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOod for you!! thank you for all this information. I really appreciate it so much!!!!

Hi all, I am 3.5 months out and seem to be able to eat a lot more than other sleevers. I am eating 6oz max per meal. BUT i probably could eat a little more sometimes if i allowed myself. I still am losing maybe 2-3 lbs a week. But just worried that i am setting myself up to fail. I am making better food choices and don't eat as much as pre-op. But im not eating a few spoonfulls and feeling full either like some other sleevers. Please let me know how much you eat. THANK YOU

Thank you Lisa, sleepeone and Diva I think i will cut down my meal size a little bit, just so my stomach doesn't get used to eating more and more. I appreciate all the input and suggestions !!! thank you again everyone. you are all so awesome

oh my goodness! i would LOVE to have the problem of needing to stop my weight loss good for you! Thomas: this might be a silly question, but what do you mean you measure in volume and not weight? And OMGoodness! How did you lose all your weight in 2 months??????? Thank you everyone!

you look amazing!!!! We had the surgery the same day and you have lost ALOT!!! Congrats to you! keep it up!

I am hoping this is normal, for some sleevers anyway. I eat breakfast , sometimes its a really small meal like 2oz and i am FULL. And i won't eat anything until lunch time. But then after lunch, it seems like i have to fight myself from eating again. LIke i feel hungry. Im off work at 5pm, and then BOOM when i get home, i feel like i can eat anything. i don't let myself but i feel like i could. i will eat dinner ( maybe 4-5 oz) and then 2 hrs later feel hungry hungry hungry!!! I might eat a little more meat ( my meals are primarily meat and maybe some veggies) . is this normal?? ive accepted that i might be able to eat more than other 3 month out sleevers. And ive also accepted that i will probably always have my hunger as some sleevers have lost their hunger after surgery. I have not be lucky like that Anyone else going thru something like this??

i am 3 months out right now and struggling with how much is too much to eat. I am always measuring my food ( even have a scale at work! ) and seem to eat betwee 4-6 oz each meal. I seem to be one of the sleevers that never lost their hunger. And i always worry if im eating too much. Like i can now finish a hamburger patty ( usually turkey) or a serving of salmon. And in my head im thinking "wow i am eating too much." BUT it is not the same amount i could eat before thats for sure! But im just worried that since im eating more than when i could a month out, what if i keep being able to eat more.That will not be good! Hope im not worrying you. I am eating a lot more than other sleevers who get full off of a few spoonsfulls But it really isn't as much as before. Good luck!

thank you for this. i do make better choices ( most of the time) heehee. But if i do get hungry i will usually eat more protein or greek yogurt or something like that.

i am 3 months out and have always been able to eat more than other sleevers. I now eat no more than 6 oz. each meal. I could probably do more, but i too am scared of "stretching" my stomach. Good luck!

did you weigh yourself in the morning ( best to weigh yourself first thing in the am after you use the bathroom) my weight goes up a few lbs when i check it in the evening. Was it close to the TOM? some people gain some water weight when their TOM comes....good luck

thank you everyone. very encouraging. THANK YOU

I think for you, your tummy hasn't healed enough and won't be able to signal you that your are full yet. I would continue to measure out your food just to be safe. I felt the exact same way !! i always was able to drink and eat more than the other sleevers, and i became kinda obsessed with how much i was eating because i am so freaked out about stretching out my sleeve. And yogurts and soups go right through just like liquids so you really won't feel the restriction just yet If you are concerned, i would call your surgeon's office . good luck to you on your journey and i hope things continue to get better for the both of us

wow you look amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COngrats on your success!!!

WOWZERSS!!! you look amazing! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!1

15 lbs is great!! Don't be discouraged. I understand about comparing your weight loss to others. I do that too. I am 3 months out and have only lost 50 lbs. BUT i am thankful i am losing. I might not lose as fast as some other people, but thank goodness i am losing. KEep working your sleeve and don't be discouraged

i am 3 months out and have never lost my hunger. I eat every 3 hrs or so, sometimes sooner. But i am eating about 4-6oz per meal. My surgeon said that i was on target. I do tend to stick to protein. But somewhat discouraged because i seem hungry too often. I wish i was one of the people that had to remind themselves to eat. Good luck to everyone!

I know i still have a long way to go...but here is where i am so far...down about 48 lbs. the first pick is at my son's birthday...im thinking maybe 230lbs??? And no, i wasn't preggo in this pic LOL. SUre looked like it though.... The second pic if from this month 9/2011. Hope to get better pictures, but this is a start...I can't believe im posting up this picture!!! Take care everyone!
