Eating More Than Before Surgery

[Thankful 1]

Hi everyone.

I am three weeks post op and everything has been going well for me so far except that I don't feel that have a restriction and I often found myself finishing a portion size larger than what I used to have pre-op.

I was just wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing.

Thankful

Are u talking about liquid stage of diet, soft mushy or regular food. These are really important questions to answer.

[Thankful 1]

I am on soft diet right now and for example, I can finish four boiled eggs at one meal without feeling any restriction.

Whoa - I am lucky if I can get through 1/3 of one egg without feeling I have had a full Thanksgiving dinner. I would call your Dr.

1/3 of an egg and you feel full? I would not even feel like i ate smtg.

Wow, from all the reading and research I have done, 4 eggs does seem like a lot.

Im surprised you aren't feeling restriction, usually when people are on the liquid stage they don't feel any because it goes right through, I would definantly call my doctor in the morning, 4 eggs is a lot, your stomach is still healing and you dont want to cause a leak.

That does not sound right. Maybe your nerves in your stomach are still numb from surgery and you just can't feel that you're over-full? Four eggs is way too much. I'm a year out and I don't know if I could even eat 4 eggs at a time. Not that I would ever try. Be careful. Ask your doctor what he/she thinks.

I could only eat about half an boiled egg and it took me over 2 hours to do at that stage. That should be way to much food for your stomach. I would call the doctor.

You said you felt no restriction, but did you feel sick?

The great thing about our new tool; for me is although I may feel hungry, I can only take three or four bites before I am totally stuffed. Sometimes it is a little frustrating but at the end of the day this is why I got sleeved because I did not know when to stop eating.

I feel restriction and I'm 3 weeks out too. Restriction and Heartburn which keeps me from eating much. At least I can get a lot of Water and liquids down. food not so much.
