eating more @ 8 weeks

Hi everybody. Suddenly my plateau broke and I have lost a few more pounds. Suddenly it seems like I am not stuffed on 1/3 - 1/2 cup of food. Is this about the normal time for this to happen? I guess the swelling has gone out of there now.

Konnie.. we have similar surgery dates and I have been having the same issues and same results...you are not alone! V.

I myself have noticed that I can eat a meal of 4 oz. with no problems..... unless of course if I eat to fast or don't chew enough. But It is more than it was and I started noticing it at about 9 weeks out. I hope it is normal, I am still losing and feeling great. Best of wishes. gotta love that meltin feeling. Dawn -53

Hi Ladies, Yes I notice this too. Just as someone said, If I eat it slow and chew it well I am eating more. I use to only be able to eat a half of a half of roll-up now its half the roll up. I am hungry alot more too and the awful thing is I feel guilty about it. I also think I am losing slow but I do have poly cystic ovarian disease which hinders weight loss. I am 9 weeks out and down about 50 lbs, Now people think that is awesome but I am scared I will stop. I went from like 6-7 lbs a week to very slow one week of 1-2 lbs, next weel 3 lbs so its nutty!!!!

If you're slow....I'm SUPER slow! I have same date as you, and am down 43 pounds.

Hello Konnie, I had surgery just one day prior to you....and I was having a plateau as well, that just seemed to break....also, able to eat more...thanks for asking this question....as I was wondering the SAME thing. I just found this January 2004 board! I usually go to my local California one!

Konnie- I'm so glad you posted this. My surgery was 1/28 and there are days when I revert to liquids purely for comfort, yet other times I can handle 3-4 ounces. I am dreading that first plateau. At 8 weeks out was able to lose 50lbs., but it slowing. Keep up the great work!
