How much do you eat ~ Am I a freak?

Wow, that's a small sleeve ~ I think. MIne was 4.5 - 5 oz @ 160 mL and it seems like I can fit 12-16 oz in it now without much problem.

On one hand I really like being able to eat like I can, but sometimes I wish I had more restriction to help me lose a few more pounds.

You go, Kerry!!!

Hey Kerry , fear not my friend!! I can eat like that (at least for a girl anyway!). I could definitely eat most of that sandwhich, def eat all the steak and a few botes of potato, not the roll too though!!
I can eat all day sometimes and never get enough, other times my interest wanes.
I went to Sonnys last night and had 2 servings of the all you can eat pulled pork but didnt eat the cornbread, but did eat my little serving of mac n cheese. (paid for it lter though - dogs did not like me last night)
I find that the sloppier something is the more of it i can eat, so egg and tuna salad, mac n cheese, pulled  pork would go down much easier than say sliced pork or a pork chop.
My sleeve was 3oz and my CC is 65 if that helps and I am 2.5 yrs out.

Hugs to ya hon and keep on munching!!

I am a freak, too, Kerry!  I can put down some food.  Alright, I know I should have skipped the bun but to put it in perspective I can eat 2 cheeseburgers with lettuce from Burger King in one sitting no problem.  Do you think you could do that or not? 

5 months out from surgery I had the following for Valentines dinner:

6 oz steak with lots of sauteed mushrooms
8 oz lobster tail with butter
2 small red potatoes with butter and sour cream
6 spears of asparagus

It took me about 40 minutes but I ate it no problem.  I had a 3.7 oz stomach but I feel it is either very stretchy or my stomach empties fairly quickly.  Probably both.  I'm ok with it since my weight loss has been fairly good.  I have never once thrown up, had food stuck or felt full for a long time.  Twice I have eaten dinner and then took my vites with liquids too soon after.  I did feel like I was going to throw up but the feeling passed within 10 minutes.  That's why I think I empty quickly.

Interesting, the same thing happens to me. I usually take the vites before my meal but sometimes I wait till after and a couple of times the extra fluids (I take my vites one at a time so its a lot of fluid) made me feel like I was going to pop but 10 min later I was fine like nothing happened.

I think we have the same type of stomach.

I don't do as much yet but it is increasing...

B- have 2 eggs and 4 bacon
L- 1 ckn breast, veggie 1/4 c
d -6 oz filet, 1/2 potatoe, 1/4 salad

so I am getting there !!  Then there are days I have a hard time eating,, or not wanting to eat, nothing seems or sounds good.

There are several DS"Rs in our group that say that, they et 3000 calories of food a day or so, but it is all protein and fiber and fat....

So no I think  you are normal for a vet ds'r.... can't wait till I can get there !! LOL

Not quite as much as that, but I'm ready to roll an hour later, LOL

Went to dinner the other night , had 1/2 of a loaded shaved prime rib sandwich, a few steak fries and a cup of coleslaw.     Hmmm...what else.....I can eat three eggs and bacon for breakfast, but no toast.   I can usually eat 1/2 steak, 1/2 baked potato and a salad if we're going along those lines for dinner.

Kerry,
As a freak myself, I can honestly say you are a certifiable freak, ....  plus you eat one hell of a lot of food. 

I find if I eat too many carbs, even complex carbs, I don't become satiated from a normal size DS meal.   I also become hungry (ravenous) 30 min. after I eat.  If I eat a high protein meal, with a few vegetables, my appetite is more reasonable, and I can go hours without being hungry.  Now if I eat some simple carbs, besides gas and intestinal fortitude, it makes me hungrier than ever.

No matter what anyone else says   "Carbs are the Devil".

Don't you like the way my smiley face is always with an Afro, I think it is appropriate since I my head is shaved as bald as a cue ball. 

PS - Did I mention Carbs are the Devil"?

PPS - There is nothing sadder than seeing a Raccoon with a shaved head.

Rock - my DH just shaved his head for the first time ever....You'd be amazed at how many women find that look sexy.    I catch women leering at him all the time now.  Keeps me on my toes, LOL.
