10 weeks, can eat more?



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I'm 10 weeks out now, and just in the last 2 days it seems like I can eat more than usual. For instance, usually I can eat 2 of my homemade Protein bites and feel full. Now I eat two and feel like I could eat at least one more, maybe two. Huh? I'm drinking more/faster too. I'm not hungrier, just have more room all of a sudden.

Husband and I joked tonight that maybe I wasn't really sleeved, but got the privation and the stitches (things) popped. Lol. No way, I can't even eat close to what I could in the past.

So is this'd pretty common around 10 weeks? I know some way farther out than me that can't eat chicken.

Depends on what I eat but at times I feel like can eat more never a lot a lot 3/4 cup at most and usually eat 1/2 cup I'm almost 9 weeks. I know in time will be able to eat little more but never what I could before, and seen others say that they can eat little more in time

I'm trying to think. (Never a good thong lol)

I measure with scales, and I'm trying to visualize my Breakfast in a cup. I'd say it was around half a cup max. dinner, 2 oz chicken and a Protein bite "dessert". Yeah, probably about half cup

Do you ever have days that you swear you ate too much, look at mfp and realize you've only gotten 500 calories? Lol. Happens to me at least once a week.

You know, I should start any day now. How would Sleevie be bigger when my uterus is throwing a fit? How's it related?

And today, I wasn't able to eat like yesterday. I think stress tenses up my sleeve.

I have days, like this morning, where I can eat 2-3 tablespoons of food and be full. Then I have days where I've eaten almost 3/4 of a sandwich. I think it's normal, weight is still coming off nicely. Just don't go too crazy too often and all will be well :)

I think hormones cause the sleeve to relax. I'm not sure but it makes sense to me haha!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
