Is there anyone who was able to eat more than they thought they would be able to? I just started soft solids fish and some refried Beans and ate more than I thought I'd be able to. Now I'm full but I took in more than I thought I would be able to in the beginning.

Some days I am able to eat a lot, some days I am not.

I have had the same thought. And as much as I know that everyone is different, it still feels like I am the only one that is eating too much. I think we get an idea of what it is going to be like after surgery and if something is slightly different then that we panic. I am sure you are doing fine...just worrying :) Stay strong!

what is a lot? i could probably eat more than I do but have been advised by my doc to be very careful about portions. I've already had a leak and don't want to risk another. Over eating is the number one cause of late leaks....be careful!

I can eat more at 9 weeks out for sure. I try to measure everything to make sure I don't over eat. If I don't measure I usually pay for it!

My Dr. Told me how much you can eat depends on how big your stomach was to begin with. Because eveyone is different my 70% on my stomach may be bigger or smaller than the next persons 70%

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
