Not necessarily. As long as you aren't eating more than the recommended amopunt( you should be weighing and measuring your food) or more times than your surgeon recommends, you should still be losing weight without a problem. If you aren't weighing and measuring, then it may help to ease your fears about the amount you are eating.

I had my surgery 10/22/09 and I have lost fifty pounds in two months. I have done everything my doc said and all the followups. I feel great and everyhting is good. Depends on what your doc says but mine said everything is good.

5 lbs a week is awesome! Keep working on the "head hunger" When you are full your full.

That is a awesome rate.when is the last time you lost 40lbs in 2 months? right! so yes you are doing fine.if you are getting head hunger or maybe wanting to eat that soon again -are you drinking while eating? because drinking while eating, it washes the food out faster and you get hungry sooner.you shouldn't have any hunger feeling s at all yet being that 7 layers of muscle in your stomach was sliced(sry..lol) and in all that slicing your hunger nerve was sliced also.just make sure you are not drinking while you eat because you can fill up faster also and not get your protien in.sometimes drinking while eating can cause pain too.i learned it quick cz i had to drink while i ate but right after surgery i learned it was a no no.i did just enough to wet my tongue and that satisfied me.best wishes to you.
