I am 5 1/2 months post op, and I am eating way more than I should be!!!

I know I am. For example last week in New Orleans, I stopped at a restaurant and got some battered shrimp. They appeared BIG. I ate 6 of the shrimp, minus the breading, and a couple bites of the beans from red beans and rice. I felt full.. but not like I was over done! And a couple days later, I ate almost one whole biscuit with sausage gravy on it. I realize the biscuit isn't probably a great food choice, but I still ate just about the whole thing. But then--I feel overstuffed if I eat one egg. What the heck is going on with me?? I get so confused all the time about everything I'm doing. Not much makes sense when I can eat 6 shrimp, but get stuffed on one egg. Can anyone shed some light on this? I know I'm doin' ok, Last time I checked I was down 112 lbs, and that was 3 weeks ago. Oh.. by the way (BIG SMILES) I FIT in my airline seat, and DIDN'T need an extender!! Michelle J. 10/13/03 425/306/200?
