Question:
Does any one find they can eat more one day than the other

Does any one find they can eat more one day than the other? Some things I eat three bites and I am full other things I can eat and never have a "feeling" in my stomache. I don't understand it.    — Rebecca K. (posted on November 16, 2003)

I am the same way and have read others on the board talk about that as well. Some days I have a voracious appetite and other days can go all day without eating. Also, some days I eat like a bird and others seem to gorge myself.

Glad to know someone else has these feelings. I am 2 1/2 weeks post op and thought maybe it was all in my head. Thanks for having the same problems. LOL

Yeah - still - 16.5 months post-op, some days I can eat like there's no tomorrow - other days I have to force myself to get the bare minimum in. It's a strange thing. I thought it would go away after the first few months post-op. I was wrong! I just go with the flow - and always make sure to get the basic stuff in. Blessings, dina

Yep. I don't understand it either. Some days I'm a bottomless pit, others I get full after just a couple of bites.

Wow all you other posters sound like me and I am 9 months out, some days I can eat great and others not a thing. I keep track of my intake really well and some days I can eat about 900 to 1000 calories a day and then the next I am lucky to do 400 or so. I just learn to go with it and make sure I get in all my important stuff first everyday then what room is left I eat whatever works. LAP RNY DISTAL 02/19/03 412/236/200

I am exactly six months out as of this week. The answer to your question is yes. There are days that I seem I can not get enough to eat and then there are days that I have to remind myself to eat and I am still losing weight of about a pound a week. I guess this is something all of us go through.

Yeppers!!! I am 3 years out and I still have days where I am a bottomless pit and some days I dont want to eat a thing! Of course by me saying "bottomless pit".. still doesn't mean I can eat all the portions like I did pre-op, but still eat more than I normally do.

Me too!! I am 4 months out today and some days I am hungry and other days I have no desire to eat at all!! I literally have to force myself to eat. At least we know we are all in the same food boat - that is what makes this site so wonderful. God Bless!! Laura/Open RNY 17Jul03 -72lbs.

I am normally not very hungry and just eat what I have to so that I can get all of my calories and protein. But, I have noticed with it is that time of the month. I am so hungry and I eat so much, it is like I can not get full. I just thought it was during that time my body needed more. I can still only eat 2 or 3 oz's of food at a time, but it seems like I am eating all day.

Every day is different. I am 9 months out. I just ate a 6 oz. can of tuna w/ onions and lite mayo for lunch. I am not stuffed. There are times though, when I can eat a chicken thigh or half a breast and can't eat a bite more. I kinda wish I had more days like that.

I am so glad that I am not alone! I am almost 5 months out and I somedays I can't believe that I can eat as much as I can...others, it is 3 bites and I am finished! I kinda like the variety though
