Wanna know one of my Secrets to losing 190lbs. !!!
I get many PM's that it has worked for others.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Always under eat your sleeves capacity!
Eating fixed/measured amounts of food that is "under" your sleeves measurement.
Measure by Volume... not weight...your sleeve was sized for volume....not weight....your sleeve does not know how much things weigh.
Eating till your full is how we got "FAT"
Advantages:
- Your satisfied
- Your not gonna get sick/foamies/vomit
- You will not stretch your sleeve (people say you can't stretch your sleeve "Bull****") Your going to want that restriction when you get to maintenance. This is more important to all of you that have 36f and larger. The larger the sleeve..... the more stretchy tissue is retained.
This is what has worked for me and has been confirmed by my surgeon as a proper approach to long term success.
I posted this in the spirit of Jimbo's post. If all of us at goal can share a "secret" on how we lost the weight than everybody benefits.

I am now six mos post op, and can eat three turkey sausage, where I could eat two before. 
Try to back it off to two eaten slow..... I'll bet you still feel satisfied.....

I would appreciate any input you can add to that as far as measuring. Thanks
I travel a lot and use the "Deck of Cards" method. A deck of cards is about 3oz.
You do have to use your imagination with odd shaped food and things like veggies....you have to imagine what it will chew down to.
Sublimate has posted a great way with pre measured bowls.
Hope this helps.
