Eating more

[Unhappysleever 39]

Hi, I am just wondering when people started to notice when they could eat more, was it 6 mths or 12 mths? I am told at 6 mths our tummy starts to relax a bit making eating a little easier.

For me, it was around the 5th month that I noticed that I could eat considerably more. I was relying more on the feeling of fullness to know when I had to stop prior to that, but now I have to make sure to count the calories, try to eat small portion sizes although I don't always do that unfortunately, and I know that's something I have to work on.

I'm now 10 mths out and have recently noticed the ability to eat more at night only. Before 7pm, I can still keep it under control. When I'm lying in bed, watching tv is when I snack and I can eat ALOT now. Still managing to maintain, but would like to lose another 10 lbs. Gotta do something soon...

It was about 8-9 months for me, I went from never being able to eat even 2 oz. of Protein to easily eating 3 oz.

Thanks for the reply, can you explain to me the considerably more part??? Did your intake double or just an extra ounce here and there? I am still not sure what the feeling of fullness is, I don't think I have pushed myself to that level yet - never vomitted from eating too much!!!

Im about 5 months out and 4 ozs still fills me. You really shouldnt be eating without measuring your portions. I know when I try to eye something out it is always more than enough to fill me.

Marfar, please give me examples of "ALOT" - thanks

My husband and I were sleeved 2 weeks apart. Today I eat more than he does. The less you eat the less you want to eat, and vice versa, IMHO. There are days I am busy and barely eat, and when I am sitting around I want to snack. He does not snack and he stays occupied. I have leveled off losing rapidly and he is still losing.
