At what week did you notice you could eat the most and then it stopped - meaning how much can you eat and what week did you notice your stomach fully healed?

Not quite sure what you mean but I don't think it is possible to know your stomach is fully healed since it is aLL on the inside. My surgeon said 6 weeks for healing. As for eating more, I can't remember, however today at 6.5 mths I still have days where I can eat more than others. Don't know why but I just do the best I can to meet my goals.

I guess I'm just wondering when I will know my stomach's "permanent" (I use this loosely) limit. By what week for example

So, I don't know each day how much I will eat. As I said before, some days I can eat more than others. Each day I work on getting Protein in and can do that. My surgeon said that overtime I can expect 3/4 cup food max. As of now 1/2 cup max is it for me. We are all different so it is hard to pinpoint.

I don't think you get your true capacity until about the one year mark.

I could eat more at 3 months, then 6 months, and then at 12 months. My capacity from 12 to 18 hasn't changed.

      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.
