How much could you eat BEFORE surgery???

Ohhh I posted a WHOLE LOT this weekend!!! A little too much! :) I still love feeling that full feeling it just happens to take 3 ounces now. :(

I can seriously, without exaggeration eat an entire pie or cake by myself.  It's really sad.  If we go to a restaurant and I'm with people I have no embarassment with...I would very easily eat appetizer, dinner, dessert, and several iced teas...and still go home and eat candy or chocolate or something like that...

When I DO diet, I cut out bad stuff cold turkey- but still have pretty big portions of proteins and veggies.  That's probably why I'm not losing fast.  It's like I eat everything very good for me...chicken, fish, veggies, and a little bit of plain rice or potato...but I guess it's the quantity it takes to fill me up that is not allowing me to progress quicker...

I really cannot wait to get sleeved!

At this weight exercise is so tiring...but I have been trying my darnedest!  I keep telling myself that the baby loves being outdoors and I take her for walks in the stroller.  I know from past experience when the weight comes off then I start getting more into my exercises and will even do it twice a day sometimes.

Again, I cannot wait to get sleeved!!!!

 im the same, iused to starv my self when i was younger , that was the only way i can loose faster but i guess i got fed up with diets , i eat too much good stuff so i barely loose anything. but atleast im not gaining .

I could eat a ****load, let's just leave it at that, LOL!  Pretty much what everyone else has said. But your surgeon won't gawp at the size of your stomach.  It'll appear normal sized.  The normal tummy stretches out incredibly to accommodate that ****load of food, and goes back to normal size as food is moved along.  What your surgeon will be removing is the stretchy part, for the most part, so the sleeve is not only a lot smaller, but a lot less accommodating to overfilling. 

This has been the worst post to read while on the pre op liquid diet! Arghhhhhhh, lol!

 I haven't been sleeved yet, but I can easily put down a whole frozen pizza (cooked obviously) and be happy.  I usually will eat about 5 slices of delivery pizza though.  I haven't been going to fast food restaurants lately in preparation for the surgery in 6 months, but when I did, I woud order four of the dollar menu burgers and eat those.  I gave up caffeine in 2007 cold turkey because I was drinking about 80-100oz of Diet dr. Pepper a day and switched to drinking milk at dinner and clear diet pops.  Now it has progressed to rarely drinking pop at all because I don't buy it for myself.  I sometimes have a can at work but mostly I drink water (over 100oz a day probably).

I don't actually eat out a lot...but if I did fast food, then yes, I would get a large sized meal and add a junior whopper or whatever other sandwich they had on the dollar menu in addition.  And if my niece, husband, or anyone didn't finish theirs, I would. 

Seriously, I am the family's garbage disposal LOL  It's really sad.  The only reason I'm not over 800 pounds right now is because I have spent my entire life struggling against these urges, giving them up...only to end up caving back in at one point or another.  Well hopefully with the sleeve that will no longer be the case!

Oh I'm not a soda drinker either.  I drink alot of water and I do love my unsweet iced tea and unsweet coffee.  Don't ask me why I love bland, bitter drinks when i'm such a sweetaholic... I guess it's to balance whatever sweet thing I would have with my drinks...  like cake and coffee...
I'll be so glad when I can look at something and just KNOW that eating it is not physically possible.  It will be a relief of sorts...

We would go to Outback Steakhouse. I'd eat half a Bloomin' Onion, and entire Alice Springs Chicken and fries dipped in the honey mustard sauce, and then a Chocolate Thunder from Down Under. The Outback nutrition info (do you know they think a Bloomin' Onion serves six and a Chocolate Thunder serves 4?) says that collection of artery hardening treats is 3700 calories and over 7500 mg of sodium

In one meal.

 Holy Crud!!!  I've had that meal and it didn't seem like that much!!!    It's amazing how muche we eat without even thinking about it!
