I would like to hear the reply to this too. You are just a little bit ahead of me. My surgery date was 9/25. Your date was on my birthday.

I have days where I feel like I eat more than others without feeling full, then I have days where I eat just a little bit and I feel over stuffed and uncomfortable.

kellynaylor....ahh, freaks me out...i've been plateau'd for a few weeks and just doesn't seem right, but then again how would i know what right feels like. but i do have those days where i eat and feel full fast....

I asked my doctor if mine stretched. He said it just healed and that's why I can eat more.

I am 17 mos out...But, I can't answer that except to say that I don't think your pouch is stretched. I recently was able to eat a 6 in flatbread as well and then there are days when 1 scrambled egg feels like six, and I can hardly ever eat bread, either. But there was just something about that chicken and the sweet onion sauce and the olives and onions and mayo...that may very well have been the BEST sandwich I ever ate. lol

That sound just like my sandwich Clarie...except i added hot sauce...lol. Good to hear...so i guess i'm not going crazy..lol

Oh, well I started had the Buffalo chicken...that already has a little hot sauce. lol

I just recently had a black forest ham 6 inch on flat bread that I ate - however it took me about 2 hours to completely finish it. You guys are right it was soooooo soooo good black olives and hot peppers. I sometimes crave that vinegar taste.

that is not a good sign eating more..stop eating so much bread because it help your pouch stretch eat your food warm not real hot that make it stretch too. I had my surgery 2006 and loss over a 100 and just gain about 20 pounds back.

so I went to subway tonight for dinner and they now have a mini sub for kids but anyone can order it. I got a mini turkey and it is only 180 calories. It was still a lot of bread so I took a lot of it off but it was perfect in size. cost less too

Hi guys... I am 6 years out. I will tell you that today I would not be able to get a footlong grilled chicken flat bread in one sitting. I wouldn't even feel like I could. There are days though that I can eat more than others. And I worry about myself on those days. So, perhaps it's normal for your body.

But, I will say this. I followed my doctors orders to the T. And to this day my sweets are very, very limited and high fatty foods are limited. I see Gastric Bypass as a tool. We've got to help our bodies fight it.

Reply #10 is right. I alternate every week. On being full or hungry. Im four months out. Person that ate a six inch sub i just dont see how thats even possible. If youre hungry eat protein. Or veggies. Only bread i have is crackers or pita chips. When u feel hungry do protein or veggies.

Reply #10 is right.

This surgery is a tool. We've got to fight those cravings to stay healthy and not put the weight back on.

There are days that I can eat a little more than others and there are days I wonder if I've eaten enough. But one things for sure, I don't force feed myself. I really try to each high protein foods to keep me full longer.

your pouch will stretch...at first its the size of a chicken egg...now ines about like the size of a softball..
