Am I stretching my pouch?

I'm trying to eat more in maintenance to stop losing weight and I'm feeling very full after some of my meals. Could I be stretching my pouch by being too full? I'm suddenly getting all paranoid!

How about extra snacking rather than trying to push your portion size? Or a larger portion of say meat or carbs at the expense of veggies or whatever?

Does your pouch actually stretch when you eat too much or feel full? I find after awhile I no longer have that sensation?

Did you actually lose 100lbs since the end of January?

I have only lost 50 lbs since the end of February.

Hi Cammie, Sandy and I had surgery on the same day... Jan 18 and I have lost 104 pounds but this includes the amount that I lost between Dec 28 -Jan 18 on Optifast... most people on OH state their weight loss with WLS including the weeks preparing for surgery on Optifast, as it is apart of this journey.

Enjoy your day!

Eat more small meals, not bigger volume.

What is your height?

170 is still a relatively high weight. For me, It is my 1/2 way point, not my goal. Would it be so terrible to be less than 170?

I don't think Sandy's ticker is quite acurate! I think she's closer to 150 pounds and nearly 6 feet tall.

How is this helpful to Sandy? Do you know her height? Health history? My goodness, to someone who has been morbidly obese, 170 pounds sounds like heaven.
