How much can you eat 6+ months post op?

[avatarkorraa 4]

Hey everyone,

I'm asking this question because I feel like my sleeve can fit way more than the average patient at this stage. I'm 6 months post-op and at this point I can easily eat 6 ounces of food before feeling satisfied, not fully stuffed. If I overeat (which of course I'm definitely not making a regular habit of doing, I've just noticed this on a few occasions), then 7-8 ounces can leave me feeling fully stuffed. I feel like this is way too much compared to others who seem to only be able to handle a maximum of 4 ounces even several months post op. I don't know what bougie size my surgeon uses, but I'm wondering if I seem to have an abnormally large pouch or maybe my stomach just healed really fast? I'm being very careful with what I'm eating and even though I can eat this much I'm keeping my calories low, around 800-900 a day, but I'm feeling like I don't have the restriction that I should be having at this stage.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

At 6 months post op I could/can eat 4-6 oz. By 6 months your body is fully heal inside and out from surgery. Your calories are a little low. I do 800 - 1300 calories. 800 if it's a bad day can't fit anything in.
I do 3 meals and one snack.
Track and weight all my food out and used a app called mynetdiary to track all my food.
