So I have this lovely 2oz piece of salmon that I lovingly marinated in soy honey and freshly grated ginger, also on my plate are a few green Beans and 2 one inch squares of watermelon cut into itty bitty pieces. Do you think I can eat any of it? Nope. Less than half of the Salmon chewed to death and swallowed and I'm full.

I just have to laugh at the absurdity of it laugh.gif It's crazy how one day I can eat this exact amount of food, and the next I can hardly eat anything.tongue.gif

Ohh, that's so sad. What a terrible waste. Maybe you can finish it off later. Or is re-heated salmon tolerable?

it's not even that I served myself too much. LOL. I served an appropriate amount of salmon, like a dozen cut green Beans and less than 1/4 cup of watermelon. Perfectly sensible and similar to dinners I have eaten before without trouble. Three bites of salmon and I was done. LOL. I'll probably have it as a bedtime snack.< img src="http://cdn.verticalsleevetalk.com/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif" alt="laugh.gif" />

I have days where I'm only able to get in small bite size of fruit so I'll just have a fruit day with plenty of Water and I'm full all day and late into the nite. At first I was annoyed by it but like you i'm glad my sleeve is saving me from myself to. LoL!

Yep. Some days I can eat a whole scrambled egg--some days, 3/4 of a scrambled egg, and some days 1/2 of a scrambled egg. Same size eggs, prepared the same, even the same time of day...but my sleeve says, "Thanks, I'm done!"

I have days like that and I am 2 years out. One day I am really afraid that I stretched my sleeve and the next day a few bites and I am too full to finish my meal.

I am glad I had as upper GI while I am here in Mexicali. It showed my sleeve has stretched the exact amount it has supposed to at 2 years.

I agree it is annoying. I can barely leave the food, I really really need to finish my plate. It's so mental. I thank God everyday for that full feeling!

      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.
