Hi There,
I was sleeved on August 12th and I can hardly eat anymore than the 6-8 bites you are referring to. I can eat just about anything I want but I'm eating smaller portions. This has been a life changing event for me so I have changed the foods I eat but the last few weeks I've eaten some not so healthy foods because of the holidays. I did learn at one of my appointments some doctors leave the actual stomach size smaller or larger depending on how much weight loss is required. I had a friend that had the same surgery a month before me and 8 weeks after surgery she was eating two pieces of pizza and even now (almost 5 months out) there is no way I can even eat a full piece that is thin crust. But it sounds like you are doing well and are on the right path, the surgery is a tool and what we do with it is all up to us. I have had a lot of success with the sleeve, but I was larger to start out and I do exercise heavily boot camps, body pump and I have started running, no marathon by any means (kudos to you for that!!). Keep up the good work and just stay focused on the end result.
