I think I need a fill already!

I have not problem with anything I'm eating. I am watching what I eat, but I can eat a good cup to cup 1/2 of anything I eat at one sitting. Is this normal? The scales are moving in the wrong direction and I'm only 3-weeks post-op!!

What are you eating when you eat? Is it Protein rich or food that you ate before your surgery? Also, you should be taking about a half hour to eat 1/2 - 1 cup of food. Even if it is mushy, dont gobble. Take a bite, put down your fork or spoon, wait 30 seconds to a minute, and repeat. Don't drink with your meals, 1/2 before or after your meals. You will find the time between meals will be longer and you will be more satisfied.

You have to make yourself stop. At three weeks out, I was only allowed 1/4 cup of mushies three times a day plus one Protein Shake. Don't push it!

At 3 weeks I was not measuring by cup but by weight. So 3 oz of whatever mushie.
