Ever here of a Dr. making your pouch too big, not small enough????

It's really weird how I can eat somethings more than others. I know I'm eating more than she showed me with her finggers and measuring cup. I ate an entire can of those little mandarine oranges, a small one but the entire thing and could of ate some more. I've lost 40 lbs. since July6th, not complaining but I think somethings wrong. Please tell me I'm not nuts. heri

Hi, I had my surgery on 7-25.. and no your not nuts.. It's just some people can and some people can't. In fact I eat a whole 3oz pudding and still didn't feel full.The thing is to remember is your still not eating as much as you use to. I know it seems so weird.. I've gotten 5 peaches down today. everybodies different. Plus congrats on you weight lose...

Do you mean five bites of peaches or five whole peaches? Just curious. I had mine on July 20 and havent had fruit yet but would love to. Pam /w

Remember just because you CAN eat more doesn't mean you have to, it's easy to get back in to old habits, have an eating cup that you fill and when it's gone your done or a very small plate. Sounds super your loss so far! WOW! Think Future not Food

Hi Ladies, Ok Thanks for saying I'm not going nuts cause I truly thought I wasYour right just because I can eat more doesn't mean I have too. I've worked to hard to turn around now. Thanks ladies. Have a good night Cheri

If you think about it, when you chew up food, your saliva breaks it down considerably, practically to nothing so yeah, you can eat more than the little cup she showed you because every (lil' cup size) portion you take gets reduced to almost nothing before you swallow. So, in theory you should be able to eat more than the little cup amounts. Good question though.

Hi Janice, You are so right never thought of it like that. Thanks Cheri
