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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
