No it's temporary. Use this time to lose your weight because it doesn't last.

No worries... You will be able to eat normal around 7 months

Thanks the weight is just falling off. It would be nice to enjoy what im eating but it makes me feel better that this doesn't last forever.

Yeah I had to remind myself that a lot

It is definitely temporary

I'm ten months out and around 6 or 7 months things became normal.

eggs can be tricky. It was the only thing that I have eaten since I was sleeved that caused me any type of distress. My nutritionist really didn't know the reason, but said she had heard that from others. Egg beaters was not a problem, only real eggs. Now though, after 3 months it isn't a problem. Just give it some time. No need to rush back to eating, when you still are all cut up inside.

When you guys say "eat normal" after 6 or 7 months, that doesn't mean I'll be able to eat a double cheeseburger and large fries, does it? I really don't want to have that much capacity.

[lessofmeismore 1,405]

If I tried a cheeseburger, I could probably eat a small child's burger and some fries.

But I try not to go there because I can eat way more than before and I want to maintain my weight loss

I'm almost 4 months out and I eat about 2 oz of a sirloin burger, 93/7 or 90/10 and 1 slice of 2% cheese. I might put salsa or hummus on it but that is all for my meal.

I think the goal is 8-12oz capacity at a year out. If you stick to dense Protein first, then there is less room for junk. Because the stretchy part of the tummy has been removed, it won't go back to 60oz. Carbonation won't stretch it. It is a lot of empty calories so that is why a lot of docs frown on it. Also remember this is a tool. It drastically reduces the volume of food. But it doesn't make the food choices for you. You can still choose junk food and self sabotage. But also you can choose to eat healthier options. :-)

oh no. I'm 19 months out and can eat 3/4 of a cheeseburger with only the bottom bun and about 5 fries. (When I treat myself!)
