I am 7 1/2 months post-op and I am frightened by how much I can eat. I have been using the rules of the pouch to try to control food volume but it isn't always easy. My doctor was going to do a barium test but he decided that there couldn't be a problem as I had alreadly lost 100 pounds at 7 months. I like to eat until I feel slightly full but that is just too much food to continue to lose weight. I'm trying to eat more veggies to fill the void. I can eat about a cup and a half of food in one sitting. I am scared. Anyone else feel this way?

I am 9 months out and a bit nervous about how much I can eat too! I lost 120 pounds and have slightly plateaued, but still losing a couple of punds a month. I actually ate a half a rack of ribs when I went out to eat last week! I can eat a personal sized Pizza Hut pizza (cheese, not the meat one). This is where the bypass saves us, since we do not absorb all the calories of what we eat!!
