Hi fellow sleevers - this is my first post! Yeah me!! I had surgery a month ago - and am starting to eat somewhat normal food again. The thing is - I get hiccups and burp a lot after I eat. I am so worried about eating too much and stretching my stomach - but I feel like eating some normal food again too! How do you determine portion size and fullness when you are not drinking all your calories? Thanks for any help!

Needing a buddy pro to help me along!

Hi Dr Patient - I love the pre-burp idea. I feel like I am burping all the time - but I need to focus on before drinking. I will also try the "put the fork down and step away" I have just been overdoing it. I appreciate experts like you! I hope I haven't done any permanent damage....

Hi Teachamy! You are right thanks for your helpful reply, I really need to change my habits if this is going to work for me. I must measure and eat slowly. So hard for me....which is why I am obese! It really is mind over what I think I can handle. Its a whole new thing for me. Thanks for being there

Congrats on your VSG!! Only 4 days out! Good for you! I hope you recover quickly!

Thanks kll724 - I hope you have had success with lapband! Thanks for the reply - I have been eating like a mad lady....I have to be more careful and smart about what and how much and how slowly I eat. I really hate that...but it is what I signed up for. Thanks again for your help!

Hi joatsaint! Your video was so helpful - thank you so much! I must be overdoing it. I have just started eating a little more regular food (not just liquid and yogurt!! finally!!) and I must be eating too fast and too much. It is so hard after having a habit of doing both for so long! I guess that will be something I need to learn quickly. I like the tupperware idea - I have been eyeballing about 1/4 cup of food at a time - but it is too much for my tummy and not the right foods. I hope I haven't ruined my small stomach already!! Thank you again for your seasoned wisdom - I really appreciate people like you out there to help!!

Hi crystaljeanine - It looks like we are on the same page!! (same post surgery and same weight!) so great to see others out there that are on this journey!! Thanks for your reply. It sounds like we need to slow down and eat less. Its been hard for me to do that!
