WHY?????

Can we eat more. Tonite I fit an ounce and half of meat, cube steak, three raviolis, and about three tablespoons of corn. I am worried i ate too much.......

Yes, I definitely can eat more than I could a few months ago. I remember when I would make a Healthy Choice t.v. dinner for example and could only eat like 3 bites of meat and a few bites of whatever. Now I can eat the whole thing. But I was told our pouch starts out like maybe a golf ball and grows to maybe a grapefruit and that is normal. Hope so, anyway. You have done very well. I have only lost 60 lbs ( no exercise whatsoever, but am starting dancercize next week, so hopefull that will kick start me to losing more. I have only lost about 1 lb every other week after the first couple of months. But at least the scale moves most weeks, so I still have time. I would like to lose a mininum of 30 more lbs. Good luck.

I am glad I am not the only one who can usually eat a whole "healthy choice dinner". Of course I too think it is because I KNOW how to eat now and rarely make the mistake of not chewing enough or eating too fast. Of course if it is adense protein meal I try and eat all of the protein, some veggies, a bit of the carbs and toss the rest. If it is like the maincotti dinner, I can eatt he whole thing. LOL!

I can eat more than I used to. I think it is because I have learned the proper way to chew better now and I can stretch out my meals a little longer than I used. My pouch uses a part of my stoma that does not stretch. So I am not sure what kind you had but sometimes I think pouches stretch. I can eat a normal meal just very small portions. Suzanne
