How much does your pouch hold?



Recommended Posts

Hi I have been banded almost three months. I had last fill just about a month ago. I have noticed this week when I eat I feel super full for 3or 4hours. I mean lead brick full. I am only eating a very small amount, but wondering if I'm eating to much. How much should I be eating at a time?

I eat about a cup at each meal. Sometimes more depending on what it is and right now I need a small fill.

mine is set up for 4oz. at a shot, but if I do 4oz, I feel uncomfortable. So I measure 3 and deal with it. Otherwise I was always told that I was just to sensitive. So if I eat 4 oz. I have to chase that down with Water.< /p>

I can eat about a cup to a cup and a half of food per meal (I THINK I eat more than I do, but I really don't haha, I eat about 4oz of Protein and some sort of f side usually about a 1/4 cup of whatever it is.) and I'm full 5 hours or more. When was your last fill? For me, after my fill a few weeks later all of a sudden I just felt full all the time no hunger.

It's different for everyone.. for me, if I over eat I get all gassy and feel weird.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
