At What Point Did Your Stomach Capacity Grow?



Recommended Posts

I am 5 and 1/2 months out from surgery and have noticed over the last week that the quantity of food I can consume has expanded. Not greatly and definitely nothing like pre-surgery. What I am able to consume now feels like an acceptable amount of food.< /p>

I have also found that my hunger has returned and am eatting small meals a few more times a day (like 5 times a day now), before I barely wanted to eat 3 meals a day. However when i am hungry now I am looking for healthier alternatives, nuts, wholemeal crackers, fruit etc.

I am still loosing weight and working out twice a day, my body is probably calling out for sustenance.

Anyway, was just wondering when you all experienced/noticed a difference?

My capacity increased gradually, I think it was at about month 3 that I moved to 4 oz . . . month 4 & 5 I was at 5 oz . . . now that I am at almost 7 months I can usually eat close to 6 oz per meal (depending on what I'm having, i.e. how dense the Protein is, etc.).
