Will My Brain Ever Catch Up?

Seriously, will my brain EVER catch on to the fact that I can only handle so much food at once? I just struggled with less than 2 oz of salmon! Pre-surgery, I would have INHALED TWO 6 oz servings PLUS salad and another side...I kept thinking I should be able to eat these three ounces of fish (I had weighed out 3 oz to start with, but I could NOT finish it).

It takes awhile to get your brain wrapped around it, but it will happen. Just don't force yourself to think you should be eating more than you can. You'll do fine and survive on the portions you can consume.

thanks for the reassurance!

You'll get used to the small amounts after you find yourself throwing too much away and your tummy stops you. It is amazing how little food the body needs to survive and all the food I used to eat in the past just shocks me.

Not only will it catch up, but one day you will find yourself at the store with your mother, screaming in the middle of the chip aisle that you, "just need a little queso for this recipe! Not a jar big enough to feed a football team!" Then you'll think, " wait, I could have easily polished this off pre-op in 2 days!" ... Or maybe thats just me...
