Jim, Are u measuring your food? I was given a specific amt of food volume (not wt) that Im to eat. I had my surgery on July 12th and Im only allowed to eat 3 ozs of food at each meal. At 3 months out Im supposed to go up to 4 ozs per meal. Then at 6 months it goes up to 5 ozs of food. Then at 8 months out its 6 ozs. 10 months out its 7 ozs and over a yr out you get 8ozs of food per meal. Just after surgery I was never hungry. Ive started getting feelings of hunger now. I cant go more than 3 hrs that I dont start feeling hungry. As someone else said already. We cant just eat what we want when we want or we will have learned nothing and end up where we started. We have to take the first few months to make permenate changes in our lives so we dont make the same mistakes that got us to surgery the first time. Thats why they call this a tool. Its not a cure all by any means. We have to do our part as well. Sounds to me like u have had a great wt loss so far. Just keep making the right choices and keep up the great wt loss

Have any other July people hit the point where you are eating more? I can eat significatly more than I was able to a month ago, and it is beginning to worry me. I've managed to lose 116 pounds since my July 5th date, but I still have a LONG way to go. I'm worried I will have to get a revision because I stretched out my pouch...
