Hi Jackie I think it’s normal I was the same way now m only losing 2 or 3 pounds a week. I’ve also been eating a little more too since I was cleared to eat solid food. As for toast I was told I can have bread too as long as it is Whole Wheat and toasted really good I have a piece with reduced sugar peanut butter every once in a while but I kinda didn’t like it. Doesn’t digest very good but I don’t think your stomach can get bigger having a slice of toast. I’m not a dr. Though

I agree with Bill that a single piece of toast will not stretch your stomach. Discuss with your doctor but I believe that it would take months (if not years) of constantly eating past full to stretch your new pouch. In my opinion, you'd feel sick well before your stomach starts stretching.

Everyone looses at the pace their body allows. Even during my journey, I had weeks where I'd loose less than a pound and then others where I'd loose 7 pounds! It all depends on what your body needs to hold onto at that time. In the long run, you'll loose big.

I'm about 2 months out and feel like I gained 4 pounds then lost 2 of those 4. I'm struggling with constipation so it's hard to get 64 oz of water plus 60 grams of protein.

Completely normal - everyone has plateaus along the way. Your body takes time to adjust at certain points. One piece of toast should not stretch you at all 2 months out.

I hope you've been in contact with your doctor and nutritionist about this. There should be something they can prescribe for the constipation and you really need to be getting in the water, even before protein. Good luck and please keep us posted.

In my experience, I didn't feel actual hunger until almost 6 months post-op. I most certainly had cravings AKA head hunger well before that but with the significant weight loss I was experiencing, it was a lot easier to deny those cravings.
