Eating too much too soon
I am eating way too much and too soon...<br />
I am able to hold more food and this is including healthy options as well. I had 1000 calories the other day and am having a hard time getting full...I am glad that I have lost 115 so far but really think it is time for part 2 of my surgery...<br />
When did you notice that you were able to eat more food?
*I made a clarification on this post below* You can ignore this one if you like. Do not feel like you have to respond.

I had the VSG in case I needed another option. I work and know people who have had the RNY and stopped and are still obese. I did not like knowing that if I was to have the RNY (did not know about the DS at the time)that I would not have a second option. Sounds silly but I like having a back up plan. At this point I am going to give my VSG an entire year before I look for a revision. I think what I am feeling is perfectly normal. I was just honestly wondering if people have had an increase in the ammount of food they eat and when.
I am NOT self sabatoging my self. I am hurt that was even mentioned. I don't think that this post determines that I need counseling. The other day I was just going through a lot of things. I have lost a lot in less than 6 months and I was just venting.
Thanks for responding but I wish you would have sent me a private message. I know you didn't want to come off harsh, but you did.

Let me clarify; I THINK I am eating too much food too soon. Please ignore the comment of, I think it was time for the 2nd part of my surgery... I mis-spoke. I really just wanted to know when others started to notice that they were eating more.
I am trying to get more protein in but still have found myself hungry again quicker and I do drink water and wait 30 minutes to see if I really am hungry.
Is 1000 calories too much too soon? What calories do you stay around? How far out are you?

I don't know that it's supposed to be a numbers thing, anyway.
I don't think that 1000 calories a day is a sustainable way of life.

My stomach capacity increased very noticeably in the 4th month and as increased again recently in the 6th month but not as much as in the 4th month.
It now takes 3-4 ounces of dense protein (chicken, ground beef, pork, etc.) plus about 1/2 c. cooked veggies or 1 c. salad to fill me up. I used this increase in capacity to be able to fit more fruit and veggies into my diet since I was already able to get plenty of protein in. If I eat less dense protein such as cottage cheese or yogurt, I can eat about 1 c. now. On mixed foods, such as chili or any meat/veggie/starch combination I usually need about 3/4 to 1 c. depending on the density of the food.
I am eating in the 1000-1200 calorie range because I don't seem to be able to function properly on less than 1000 calories (not enough energy for work and/or exercise). I also have to keep my net carbs in the 40-60 range (at least) to have enough mental clarity to perform my job functions (ultra low carb makes my memory next to non-existent).
I also know that I am losing a lot more slowly than you have, but that's just how I am losing. I have tried the lower calories and lower carbs and I wasn't losing any better so for me the 1000-1200 calories and a few more carbs just work better.
Everyone is different, but the increase in capacity (and requirements) is normal as we progress on our journeys. I would suggest to make sure you are eating 3-4 ounces of good protein at each meal and some veggies if you have room after the protein. Sometimes just upping your protein 1/2-1 ounce at each meal really helps keep you fuller for much longer.
