How much are you able to eat at 18 months or more out
Hi Everyone,
Just a simple question, but I am really curious. How much is everyone able to eat after 18 or more months out.
I just downed a 6inch wheat teryiki chicken from subway (with all the fixins). Just wondering if anyone else is able to down as much food.
I have some days when I eat like a horse, but others I am pretty normal.
Peace and Blessings to ALL

I'm 19 months out. I started with a 5 ounce sleeve (so a tad on the larger side). I feel like I can almost eat the same amount as I did pre-op. For instance, I can often eat an entire fast food combo meal without drinking much of the drink. Before I could eat an entire fast food meal, with the drink and maybe a smidge more.
Of course there are times when I can't quite eat as much, but that seems to be more rare.......
ETA: I could easily eat a 6 inch sub and maybe some chips!

ok...I am like you with the 1/2 a meal still....but a few hours later??? I cant eat the remaining 1/2. I would rather, drink water or eat something else. Sometimes I have issues (mentally) with eating left overs....YUCK! LOL
I am only 15 months post-op and I am pretty much like you!
Some days I feel like I can eat everything, including the kitchen sink... other days I feel like I eat very normal... and some days I feel like I can hardly eat anything at all!!
If I am hungry, sometimes I could and sometime I couldn't down a 6" Subway sub! It really depends on my mood and what exactly I am eating! The previous poster is right now, though that I think about it... It usually takes me about an hour to an hour and a half to eat my meals!

Oh, I am right there with you!!! Sometimes something sounds well and sits good, other times it doesn't! I am a huge "mood" eater when it comes to what I eat on a daily basis!!!
