Eating 1000 calories or less a day ...mostly protien....stalled ffor 3 weeks and going....uuuggghhh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mandems mom 3 Posted May 5, 2011 I'm about 2 1/2 weeks out and ate egg salad (1 hard boiled egg w/ mayo) on a piece of bread and didn't start to feel uncomfortable until I took the last bite. I keep feeling like I have a larger stomach too because I haven't had a problem with anything yet and have only lost 4 pounds since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackBerryJuice 349 Posted May 5, 2011 Ha, I remember that. I don't even think I could eat half when I first started having eggs 3 weeks out! More like 1/3. Now I can eat 2, but that's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apple-saucy 17 Posted May 5, 2011 I think my stomach is smaller in the morning....does that make any sense? Because as the day goes on I can eat more at a time. Like I just drank an 11oz Protein Shake and 2 bites of a hot dog and a pinch of a bun chewing it to absolute death before getting that "Oh I'm full" feeling.

Rev Me Up! 75 Posted May 5, 2011 I remember I could only eat half an egg. At 8 weks, I can eat a whole egg, but only if it is very softly scrambled - not dry at all. The drier adn more dense the food is, the less I can eat. So, I would have trouble getting through a whole hard boiled egg, but soft scrambled is better. I will stil occasionally not be able to finish a whole egg - I really have to listen to my stomach. Hilarious, isn't it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NtvTxn 1,262 Posted May 5, 2011 Isn't it great!!!??? I am 11 months out and can eat 2 scrambled eggs now. Nothing else and not all the time. Sometimes I can only eat 1 egg or one and a half. I don't know why, but different days I can eat different amounts!! I hope it stays this way forever!!! And felt completely stuffed. hehehehehhahahahaha That just cracks me up.

Infernored 5 Posted May 6, 2011 It is so crazy. I'll eat a little prepackaged container of applesauce and then I'll lean back and moan and sigh like I just ate a huge thanksgiving dinner!!! lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don 5 Posted May 6, 2011 I remember week 2 ( 2 weeks ago) when I could have cream of wheat. Pre-surgery I had to fix more than one serving...like 1 1/2 to 2 measured servings ( 4 1/2 -6 tbsp of dry cereal). After surgery 1 Tbsp. filled me up. I couldn't believe it.

Vickimouse 0 Posted May 6, 2011 I know the feeling, I just had my first egg today ( 9 days out) and could only eat half. And that took 30 minutes. But it was so yummy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
