*Cup of Food*

Can anyone eat more than 1 cup of food at a sitting? Just curious. I am able to eat a little more than a cup. Wanted to know if anyone else can. My surgery was Jan 22, I am almost 18 weeks out.

To be honest it really depends on what I'm eating at the time. Some things like salad or veggies I can do more than a cup, but if I'm having any meat at all, I can eat very little and am lucky if I get in 1/2 cup.

Thanks, that is the same with me. Ok, I feel normal now. Thanks. I was worried about that. I still sometimes think that it's not going to work.

I can eat more than a cup too. I can also eat a whole frozen meal, like lean cuisine, or a half a sandwich. I worry all the time that Im able to eat too much...but then somedays it feels like one or two bites and Im done. It weird. But Ive lost 95lbs so i guess its all good!! LOL Mary

I don't know what it is with this surgery but some weeks I can eat more than a cup of food and some I can't. Last week I felt real hungry, this week I haven't been hungry at all and have had to force myself to eat, which is real weird to me. Sometimes I can eat a whole lean cuisine meal as well. Isn't that weird? We will always have to portion control I guess.......

Thanks to all of you for your insight. I am relieved. I just worry constantly that this will not work. MY BIGGEST FEAR.

With your success so far I'd say it's working! I think we all have the same worries and that it may come back. I agree with the previous posts. I just never know what the day will hold. Sometimes I can eat more than others and sometimes I don't even get hungry.

I just killed off a whole lean cusine, lol. Yeah, it all depends on me, too. Sometimes I can knock out half a sandwich or sometimes a little more than a cup of salad.

I can eat a lot of salad...probably nearly 2 cups, but less with dense protein in it...like stewed chicken. I worried about this, but other RNY people tell me this is normal...as is one day being hungry all day, and not feeling hungry at all the next day. Very weird...but typical. We all worry about the same things...we are all in good company. lol Lura
