Stomach capacity-3 months out-Little restriction seems like

[jilani 16]

Hi:

I had my sleeve on 09/06/2016. Obviously stomach capacity was very tight in the beginning and it gradually started loosening. Progressively my stomach capacity now seems to be pretty decent three months out. I am experiencing a bit of a slow down in the speed of weight loss. But keeping at it. Problem is that:

1) I can down 10 to 12 ounces of food no problem if I want to.

2) I can gulp down a Protein Shake no issues.

3) I feel like can slowly eat soft mushy food non-stop. II have not tried it yet though.

4) I do feel slight hunger if I have not eaten. ( I work out nearly two hours a day)

What have your individual experiences? Is it because I am a male-does gender matter?

Please chime in.

Stick w the protocol- Protein first, no drinking for 30 min before and after, etc. and see if that changes things. You tend to learn how to game the system as time passes- don't let your intelligence lead to your failure

Stop gulping and start taking small bites of Protein dense foods. My instructions are to eat over a 30 minute window max. If I feel satisfied prior to that, then stop.

I am 5 mths out and when I eat fast, I eat more because my stomach doesn't get a chance to signal my brain. I do drink Water a little fast, but not food. It takes concentration and practice.

10 to 12 ounces of what?

At a year I can only have 4 ounces of dense Protein.

I can eat endless amounts of things with high liquid contents. Like I could have 16 ounces of yogurt if I didn't think it was disgusting.

Are you eating 10 to ounces of dense Protein or something else?

If you eat things that don't trigger restriction. You won't feel restriction...

I can eat an entire box of Cheeze-Its... but I can only eat two chicken wings.

P.S. That only happened once and I never brought Cheeze-Its into my house again.

Coming from a guy, listen to the girls above. They are 100% correct.

Even if you can eat 12oz of food you shouldn't of you want to keep losing weight. If you eat slowly , as you were probably instructed, you will feel full before you down 12 oz of food.< /p>

Do you keep track of your calories, Protein and clear fluids?

Thank you folks for your responses. In an effort to go vegetarian a bit, I significantly reduced the meat from my diet and perhaps that was the mistake.

I'm a bit more than two months out, after getting between 2 and 4 oz of food in, I'm pretty uncomfortable. Can't imagine 10 or 12!
