And the amount of skill I could develop in meticulously stacking candy pieces to fit more in my palm!

Mine doesn't understand why I measure my food. Didn't I give myself a self-measuring portion control tool by having surgery? "Trust my pouch" is her advice. Eat until I'm full, essentially. Except I don't feel "full" in like, a normal way. I just go straight from "I feel fine" to "I'm gonna puke." Ive tried explaining that I measure to be sure I don't make myself puke, because I don't have any warnings or feelings of restriction before I reach that point.

I know! I was like...what about when my pouch matured and I can eat more? I can already eat more at 8 months than I could at 3, what about when I'm a year, two years out? I don't want to be in the habit of eating til I feel full (in my case, eating til I puke.)
i don't think she quite understands that I have no physical queues to tell me to stop eating before I puke. Maybe I will eventually, though I feel like I would have by 8 months.

Right. It's that one bite between a-ok to dying.
1) You have already lost your predicted amount of weight so you probably won't lose much more (I need to lose another 90 pounds)
2) It's ok to eat carbs and fruit
3) I don't think you are eating enough
4) We will call you and book your 6 month follow up (7 months out and haven't got a phone call). Which I'm fine with.
Just to name a few, sighhhh
