2 weeks post-op; why can I eat so much?!
In any...most...dayum near every Internet forum that I've ever participated on...there's always one thing that users/posters should keep in mind. When you ask a question soliciting feedback/suggestions from other posters, prior to clicking that submit button...PLEASE PUT YOUR BIG GIRL PANTIES ON AND BRACE YOURSELF FOR THE RESPONSES. Not everything will be worded in a PC manner. Not everyone is gonna grab your hand and rub your back and say "baby it's alright". Some people are gonna scold you. Some people are gonna be down right nasty and rude...unfortunately...that's life. Luckily...on OH (well at least on the RNY section) I haven't seen any nasty/rude folks. Take the suggestions/responses that work for you...and bypass the rest.
something is odd here. You need to immediately talk to your surgeon's RN and tell them what you've said here. Surgeon may not have given you a hole tight enough, or somthing else may be going on that only a CT Scan will help to reveal. I'm 5 weeks out and I absolutely cannot consume eggs and toast. Talked to doctor's office while your surgery is still fresh enough to modify.
Their surgery was four years ago. You're a little late to the party.

Not a problem. It's great to read and learn from old posts. Just don't expect people to read a reply -- they're likely long gone.
Don't be afraid to start a new thread. Someone will be interested.

I'm 6 days pre op from RnY and I find that I'm having hunger pains. I'm eating more than a 1/4 more like 1/2 cup cup of food at a sitting and find it isn't enough. Today I even had a bit of mashed potato and ground beef - total of 1tsp full. I'm a little concerned why I'm doing this and feel that I want it. I'm eating a bit more than was asked. I have no full signs, vomiting or any side effects from this either. Has anyone experienced this?
