Question:
Quantity of food?

I am 5 weeks out from an open RNY and was wondering about the amount of food I am able to eat sometimes. ON certain days I can eat an entire Healthy Choice microwave meal for lunch. Yesterday it was a whole small chicken breast with a side of pasta with vegetables. I felt full afterwards, but I was still able to eat the whole thing! I guess I did not expect to be able to do this - especially so soon!! I have found that I can't do this all of the time, but it kind of worries me when I can. Is this normal or should I be worried??    — Amy R. (posted on December 4, 2001)

Its a lot, but what I can eat varies too. Are you drinking liquids with your food? That could expplain being able to eat so much. How long does it take you to eat that much? eating over a period of a couple hours we can eat more but thats grazing, a bad idea.
