Well all, I have been watching just not threading, so no I did not dissapear. I had the WLS on August 26 this year. I am surprised at how much I can eat. First off-with all the experiements there isn't anything that upsets my tummy, unfortunatly not even sweets. I'm still a good girl though. What troubles me is how much I can eat. I can eat a frozen dinner-usually south beach diet or WW in one sitting and I can also drink water with it (about 2 cups-while I eat). I don't struggle with it-I have never had to eat slow yet-not even right after surgery. I do get full however-not stuffed. I have never had dumping, any form of it. It almost seems like I didn't have the surgery. Except for the fact I eat alot less and I'm full and I have scars. I have lost 50 pounds since the post surgery, so I know its working. I'm just curious if anyone else has had it this easy. I'm actually kind of dissapointed, I wanted it to be hard and I wanted to struggle to make the right choices. I'm gratefull to not be going through what so many of you have-I just gotta wonder if being able to eat so much is normal. Thanks for any input you might have. My doctor is out on deployment, but when he gets back I will be asking him too.

first off, congratulations on the weight loss... and i'm a little concerned that your doc is on deployment and no one is covering for him??? is that possible?

i have a suggestion - what happens if you don't drink with your meal? i suspect that drinking while eating is literally pushing the food through your tiny tummy so you're not giving yourself a chance to feel that 'can't get down one more bite' feeling.

see what happens. let's view it as an experiment!!!! and, by the way, that might also be a factor in letting you eat pretty much anything.

Do not drink for an hour before you eat nor after. You are flushing the food straight through and will not get the nutrition you need. Your body has a new and different cycling process for your food if you wash it through to fast you can easily become malnourished. Sickly is not what you had in mind I am sure. Take care.
