I'm 5 months out I have timers set for everything 30 min between eating and drinking 2 min between bites at home and I do 1:30 in a restaurant and stop sooner. I also have learned there is a fine line between not completely full and over full. When I feel like I'm not sure or coming to that point I wait an extra 2 min before I decide if I'm going to take a bite or not

This is how I felt eating lunch today. I just stopped eating and figured I would finish it for a snack later. I definitely didn't want to be sick for the rest of the afternoon at work.

It really is such a change from what got us here, huh?

How is everyone's Water intake? I know when you first get the surgery, you need to sip it. So over a month or so out, can you drink Water normally?

I can't chug water like I used to, but at 11 weeks post-op I'm taking "normal" sized swallows (not tiny sips) of fluids.

I like the timer idea. Also, it will definitely take time getting used to not chugging Water

I’m 9 years out from RNY. I will mimic what a couple other people have said. While I do eat ‘mini’ meals still, I also could order a small sized appetizer or an entree and eat one half of it and leave the rest. I can also eat most of a small sized bowl at Bibibop or similar places that have the make your own bowls. And some days are weird. Today, I had a small lean ground beef patty and a small side salad. Some days I can eat more and other days I am barely hungry. I heard someone say at a seminar years ago that years out from surgery, RNY patients ‘eat the same sized portions as most thin people.’ Not sure if that’s true but it makes sense. 😊
