Post-Op pouch question

At over 2 years out, I still don't understand about pouch size. I ate the exact same dinner 2 nights in a row with the same size meal portion. Yesterday, I ate the entire plate and felt like I could eat more. Tonight, I couldn't eat more than 2/3 of it. I ate it at the same speed, didn't drink any liquid during or after the meals. How can the pouch change sizes from day to day. Those of you who may think that I missed the "feeling full" message yesterday, I can assure you that is not it. Does anyone who is further out have this same experience? On days like today, I call it my "small pouch" day. For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out a reason for it. I know some things I can eat more of on a given day because it chews up easier. However, how can you account for the exact same food on successive days? Anybody want to conjure up an explanation? Jon

Humm....You were hungry yesterday, and today you were not so hungry? I really don't know. God bless you, Annette

Jon, while I'm still wet behind the ears compared to you, I'm wondering if it's WHAT your eating and not your pouch. I know that some foods stay with me MUCH longer. Sheryl In the Zoo

Hi Jon, I'll be 4yrs post-op next months and some days I can eat more than others. I'm not sure why, but I think sometimes my pouch just empties faster. Wish I could be of more help. Ruth

Hi Jon, I thought I was losing it, because this does happen to me also. Some days I can eat almost off of one thing and the next time I can't even eat half. If you ever get it figured out let me know. I can't figure it out either. Connie

Satiety? That is my explanation Jon. Carol

How about my explanation: Leftovers are gross! LOL! Maybe they are drier because they have sat longer? I have this happen too. I don't get it either. Wendy

ok i think this would be what kevin would say LOL. Maybe you need to take a dump? Linda

Hi Jon, I am about 2 1/2 years out and I am totally with you on this one!!!!!! I have yet to find anyone that can answer that one for me either. It is pretty baffling. Some days I can eat what feels like a truck load of food and never really feel full and other times if drink a little water it lasts forever or if I just eat a few bites of food it seems to last forever and I feel like I don't even want to see food again for awhile. I don't get this one either. I just know in the very beginnig a little bit of anything and I felt really full. It didn't matter what it was. Good Luck and fill me in too if you ever get the answer to this one. Beth

Jon, This happens to me! I like the "small pouch" days the best. I would also like to know why this occurs. Nan
