how much do you eat?



Recommended Posts

I eat about a cup of food at each meal and am usually satisfied for 3 to 5 hours. I measure it out a lot of times and it looks like a lot and I am just shocked that pre band I would eat 3 or 4 cups at one time.

I know, preband portions just look ridiculous to me now, i cant even remember eating that much. We had friends over last night, I did home made pizzas. Everyone had seconds, that was like 4 pieces of pizza (on pitta bread base) each! I had one, and a bit of salad, didnt touch the garlic bread. Everyone had seconds of the cheesecake and chocolate mudcake our friends brought for dessert.

It helps to see that and remind me that whilst I constantly feel guilty becuase I think I eat so much, I really dont in comparison to normal people. Since I had an unfill and am very very wide open, I feel like I"m stuffing my face constantly, but I havent gained weight.

But today I've packed my lunch as I'm at uni finishing an assignment. Yes, I shoudlnt be here, lol). I've got 3 Ryvita crispreads, half an avocado, small can of tuna and a Tomato to slice up, and an apple. I'm eating the apple now as its 11.30 and I'm just having a short break. Iill easily fit the ryvitas in topped with the avocado tuna and tomato, they're about half the size of a slice of bread. I know I'll get peckish this afternoon and have something to eat.

I had a bowl of Cereal for Breakfast and dinner will be leftover pizza and I'll make a fresh salad.< /p>

Seems like SO much, but really isnt I guess. Certainly not calorie wise, its about 1600.

We used to go to my fav japanese rest. alllll the time and would order and app, get salad, our entree that comes with meet, veggies and fried rice....and I could eat it ALL...now I eat like a small salad and 4 pieces of sushi or so....

Generally for bfast I eat maybe a 1/4 cup for lunch about a cup and dinner usually the same sometimes for dinner I see that I can eat more but I get tired of chewing so much so generally dont overeat.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
