1.5 months post op

I can eat more now than i could right after surgery, is that normal that quick? Can anyone else notice they can take in a little more?

Yes, I am 9 months post op and I can eat a little more than a few months post op. I still get really full really quick. Just pay attention to what your stomack (pouch) is telling you. I stop when I first start to feel full, pre-surgery I would still continue to eat until I was ready to burst !!! I can't do that now, I listen to my stomach !!!

Thanks, ive been very careful the past few weeks with no problems but im only like a month and a half out so it worried me that i can eat more.

I'm also about a month and a half out. Surgery sate was 11/29. I sometimes feel like I can eat more than I should. Then too it all depends on what I'm eating. If it's heavier, like meat, I can't eat as much as I can with Soup or fish. Then again it also depends on the day. I noticed that on days when I think I've eaten too much I'm usually a pound down the next day. Sometimes you just need the calories. As long as it's healthy...Btw, just had a follow up today. Dr and Nut say I'm doing great so I must be doing something right even when I think I'm overeating.

Just eat slowly and pay attention to your pouch. It won't send you a "full" signal right away so stop eating when you're satisfied instead of full.

I have days like that too...and same for me, depending on what I eat as to how full i feel...Somedays I feel like im grazing all day but those are the days I lose more..I've always heard its better to eat like 6 small meals a day to boost your metabolism

I'm the same way. I'm two months out and have to stop myself. I can eat a lot for my stage. Just don't get over full. I try to eat about a half of a cup. I can eat a whole Wendy's small chili but I stop at half. Beef and chicken are about 2 oz. I'm terrified at my amount but then I realize how MUCH I used to consume. Major difference.
