Feel like in the beginning when I was released to all food that the amount I could eat was consistent, I would measure it would always be one bite less than my portion...nowadays I've slacked on measuring but for the most part if I'm eating the same or similar thing, one day I can eat the entire thing, the next not even close! It's so odd to me! Here's an example...I ate the entire lunch a couple days ago then today this is all I could finish! So weird, it's the same with salads which I often eat(always meat mostly first) but some days I could eat my whole serving others I stop so early odd!

I go through periods where I can eat a lot ten it just goes away and I can hardly eat anything. I think it has something yo do with my level of activity for any given day.

Though I am pretty consistent in servings sizes, I have noticed I can't eat as much sometimes. No idea why, but I'll take it since I was not one of the lucky ones who lost the hunger feeling.

I find it is what I am eating. Somethings "fit" better in my sleeve. I have a friend who had it done and man can she shovel in the salad!

We were sleeved within a month of one another, so I guess my experience is applicable. I've noticed that there are times at work that I can eat my entire lunch comfortably and other times I might eat 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 and feel fine. There are other times that I might eat a couple crackers and not think about eating again.

I'm not sure what causes that. I think for me, it depends on my stress level and how busy I am. If I'm really in a hurry, I find that I eat less because I know that it'll take me a good 30 minutes to finish and I need part of that 30 mins to run copies, use the bathroom, grab some materials, tidy my classroom, etc.

My portion sizes have been all over the place. Some days I can eat a lot more than others. Today I'm not hungry, so I ended up drinking a Protein shake for lunch. I'm exhausted (kids up all night) and food didn't sound good at all.

      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.
