I don't think much has changed for me between 8 months and almost 17 months out. It depends a lot on WHAT I'm eating. If it's chicken, I can eat about 5 oz. now. If it's something wet or saucy I can eat 6-7 oz. I almost never sit down and eat until I'm full though. I almost always have something pre-portioned out. So I rarely come up against the possibility of eating too much. Though eating too fast can still be a problem.

I do eat to fast still I know and I slacked off my Protein and Water maybe if I get those back under control it will help

These are some of the critical success factors for me:

Eating slowly and chewing thoroughly.

Eating Protein first.

Focusing on reaching or exceeding my protein and Water targets every day.

Taking my Vitamins and supplements.

And, exercising.

Amen to every single one of those! I do occasionally eat too fast, but I always make my protein and water goals, work out at least 3 times a week, takeall my Vitamins daily, never eat and drink at the same time, and never graze.

      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.
