Husband said he can tell I can eat more

Sooo this terrified me. We were at dinner last night and my husband said he could tell I was starting to be able to eat more. HUH?! Im 3 months out next week, I know that we gradually become able to eat more over time but is it possible that in 3 months this can happen? Im scared that ive been eating too much and that my stomach has stretched some (I know that i would have to constantly over eat to do this but it still lingers in the back of your mind. I havent been over eating, i stop when im almost full.) Should I be worried?

I would say that's a good thing that you can eat a little more and tolerate it! As long as you measure your portions you will have piece of mind that you are not over or under eating :)

You are SUPPOSED to be able to eat more at 3 months than you did right after surgery.  As long as you are measuring and following your plan, you are fine.  Please do not get freaked out by this..........WLS is not designed to have you eating 1/4 cup of food forever.  You'd die if you tried!  By year 2, you should be eating a "normal" portion at each meal (for example, a whole Lean Cuisine with a piece of fruit for lunch..........).

take a deep breath, you're normal. 

Just had to post and tell you I can sympathize, I'm a little over a year out and my Mom informs me one night at dinner this week that I shouldn't get rid of any more of my FAT clothes that I may need them.   I can eat more yes but I'm really trying to maintain and continue to lose.  Which I should be doing at a year out....its not nearly like the first 6 months but i'm consistently losing.....and she wonders why she ever had a daughter who weighed 400 pounds and has made some bad life decisions.  Her critical attitude and the way she feels about heavy people is enough to depress anyone....She says the weight she's put on from quitting smoking is payback for all those years of comments that she made about heavy people....i couldn't do anything but look at her and agree.    I love her dearly but man, I wonder if I'm not adopted or something....LOL  

Hang in there, you're doing fine!!

Sorry to butt in, but are you freaking kidding me?! Don't get rid of your fat clothes????????????????? How in the world did you keep your cool? I woulda had a hard time not busting her lip!

LOL, oh yes it happened again last night she made a snarky comment and thought it was hilarious so I sarcastically laughed back....she got the point, I didn't appreciate it....and wasn't soon she left the room.....and then went and laid down.....I don't think she really gets it...she thinks she's being funny and everyone should laugh but damn!   I have been a little hungry when I get home this week cause I've really been measuring and tracking and even if i have an afternoon snack, by 5:30/6:00pm I'm ready to eat as soon as I get home.  

Sorta hard when we live with her and try to keep the peace but i know I will have to watch myself mentally to keep this weight off...and still live there. 

Thanks for the support!!

So sorry you have to deal with that. I applaud your restraint! Just keep doing what you do and lose that weight, you'll be the one laughing in the end!

I will be 3 months out on the 21st of this month and  I guess I am one of those people whose brain is slow to tell me I am full so I have to be very careful.  I can easily overeat and won't even realize I'm stuffed until 10 or 15 after my meal is over.  This is something I had never noticed until after I had surgery.  So I started measuring my food and then counting the bites it took to fill me up so I would have an idea if I was in a position I couldn't measure.
