My surgery (Lap-RNY) was July 5th, I am down 15# (22 since preop). I am grateful for that, but I feel like I eat too much at a time. I can eat more than 2 oz, what is wrong with me? I know I shouldn't. But I am hungry. I am so scared. Please help. I feel pathetic.

I am so glad you posted this. I do feel like I am eating too much. So much more than the first week. But if we are all feeling this way maybe it is normal. As long as we are losing I am holding to that is what matters. And looking at how much less it is than what I was eating before. Bobbie Lynn and if you are pathetic, so am I, because I am having the same feelings.

I thought I was eating (drinking) too much too. I called the nutritionist today and asked her how I could drink a 6 oz shake without feeling full when the pouch was only 2 oz. Her response was that liquids sail right through and don't stay in the stomach. That's why you can drink with meals--it washes everything out. I felt less piggy after speaking with her. I'm one week out and am down 6 lbs from my pre-op weight. Cheryl
