Sometimes more, sometimes less...

This is the typical am I normal question. Most mornings it's hard for me to get very much down. I get full super quick. Then later in the day I find I can eat way more, like too much. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm RNY, not band..I know this happens to the band folks, but I wasn't aware that it happens to us.

Would love some input on this. Sometimes I'm terrified that I've already stretched my pouch!

I get the same way for sure, and sometimes it's the other way around a lot in the morning not much at night, it's weird, I think it depends on the person, I have been freaking about the same thing especially when I hit a stall, but now I think i'm ok.

I'm so worried about stretching my little pouch. I'm constantly thinking about it. I find if I eat more, I lose more weight....Do you find that as well? I definitely stall out and then all the sudden I'll be down 5 lbs.

Yep I gotta agree, on the days where I really try to stick to the 3 meals I end up stalled, but If I add a little something extra, the scales drop, It's really hard to judge it all, but when I spoke to my nut the other day at my six week check up she told me I should be getting 600 to 800 cals a day sounds like a lot but it's not really.

The part of the stomach that the pouch is made from is not very stretchy.   It takes a lot of work to actually strectch teh pouch ~ like overeating at every meal for months or years.  Stop freaking out.

I'm the same way. The first meal of the day I don't eat much. The other meals during the day I eat more. It also depends on what I eat. Some things sit heavier on the tummy than others and I can't eat much then eaither.

I so have the same problem.  In fact, I cannot eat anything until around 6 pm.

Even though I've been on solid food for a while now, I have my more thinner proteins early in the day....like weight control oatmeal and a few strips of veggie bacon for breakfast.  Then I have a little more denser proteins for lunch such as cottage cheese with bacon bits in it.  Then for dinner, I'm ready for real meat...so I'll have chicken tenderloins........if I did it any differently, my pouch would most definitely not be happy LOL

it's so nice to know that I'm not alone in this and that I don't have to be so paranoid all the time. Thanks for all the great responses everyone!!! They are very much appreciated!
