Thanks for the reply Jennifer It is nice to know others can eat more. I know what you mean about one day I can eat this much and the next am lucky if I eat enough. We had our surgeries on the same day.
I was 253 too .

Betty;
It definitely depends on what I'm eating. Last night, we had grilled chicken breasts for dinner and I was only able to eat about 2 oz. before I was full. Today for lunch, I ate an entire small Greek salad (the container was the size of a stryofoam Big Mac container [back when McDonald's used stryofoam]).
I have some days where I can eat a lot more than others. Literally, I've had moments of "Oh my gosh! Where did all of that food go!?!" Other days, I have a few bites and I'm hiccupping like a crazy person. (Hiccups are my signal of fullness.)
I don't worry too much about stretching my pouch. Worrying about it isn't energy well spent. I can definitely eat more than at the beginning, but still less than a 1/4 of what I could eat before. As long as I'm still losing inches and / or lbs., I know my tool is working.
Blessings,
Jennifer

Topic: Just wondering
Ok I had my surgery on nov. 15. the other day I ate a whole banana. I used to only be able to eat a small piece of banana. has anyone else been able to eat more now? I was so scared that my pouch has gotten bigger. So how much can you november people eat. Is it more that at the beginning of a couple of ounces.?

i have fibro too.. so my excercise is limited. i swim 3-4x weekly (just started recently) and today i rode a bike ( a real one, not a gym one) for the first time in 10 years. i was blessed that i was a light weight to begin with, but the fibro makes excercise so hard to do. being in pain for 2 weeks after working out too hard is no motivation either.
good luck with it.

I have had issues too. I had my surgery on the 15th also. I weighed 270 and now weigh 225. I am so upset I only lost 45 pounds before I had issues with steriods. I was hoping to be under 200 for my birthday July 6th. But the way everything is going I will not be!
Makes me so sad!
