Tameaka, Hi therer, girl first of all Congratulations on your Awesome weight loss.......... 2nd, I'm not that far long post op as you, I'm 10 months, How-ever you said you ate 1 hot and 2 ounces of popcorn, girl don't fret it, did you feel uncomfortable afterwards ? Did you feel like it was in your throat ? , On some days I find myself being able to eat more, Like today for example, I was able to eat a whole 6 inch sandwich from Port Of Subs, usually I can only do about 1/2 of the breadand rape the beat from the other half, today was just an odd day. I know I haven't eating much today, and that could be why you were able to eat that....... The hot dogs isn't that bad, and the popcorn, girl that crunches down to air (Almost nothing) ........ You'll know when you've eaten to much. I account for everything I eat, I'll add up the calories of a sandwich the whole thing, and If I eat it, that's fine, how-ever if I can't no problem....... You're doing awesome, so no stressing you'll find days like that, just even them out to where this is not an everyday thing. Much hugs.... Post op 10 months down 127 pounds

If you didn't throw up, you didn't overeat. I over eat a lot and most of the time I don't chew my food enough. Some days I throw up 3 meals a day, other times I go weeks without throwing up. I don't worry about it. I eat all kind of food and If it stays down I won that battle.

Not throwing up isn't always an indicator. I have never thrown up. I'm almost 2 years out. And I know there have been occasions where I've overeaten. But I tell you what, I could eat a hot dog and 2 oz of popcorn. Down 170 and at goal. Good luck!
