Stacy, I hope your surgeon figures out whats hurting you...I haven't had problems with ulcers but one of my friends was having pains, especially after eating...her surgeon did an endoscopy (sp?) and lo and behold she as a tiny ulcer. They put her on carafate (sp?), it's costly but she said it has helped tremendous. As for the amount of food you are eating....now remember we are all different, not all of our pouches were made the same size initially so they still vary in size. My pouch was extra small, I could only eat 1/2 oz out of surgery. This is a typical day of food for me. Breakfast - 4 oz cottage cheese w/scoup of protein powder or 1/2 small banana Lunch - 3 oz meat, couple bites of vegetables Snake - 1/2 Power Crunch bar Dinner - small chicken leg, 3-4 brussel sprouts I have definitely noticed in the past couple of months I can eat more...I've caught myself grazing so I've upped my water intake to ward off the grazing and hunger pains I know feel. Sure wi**** was as easy to be satisifed as it was the first 6 months. You've done well, don't stress over the eating...focus on dense protein first, it will keep you full and satisifed longer. Dana

I dont think you are eating too much you may try adding a pro shake. Maybe that would help. faith 389/230/180
