Help, I Think I Eat To Much!



Recommended Posts

I got sLeeved oct 9th and I can eat up to 3 oz. Of salmon in one sitting. I have a problem slowing down, and really concentrating on the food. I wasn't starving. But my instructions are to begin eating soft mushy foods, 1 oz meat, 1 oz. Veggies, fruit.< /p>

Is it possible to eat that much in one sitting? I am doing pretty good about no liquids before or after and if I wait a bit, I actually feel full. I haven't thrown up at all, just worried!

I was sleeved Sept 6th, different foods I can eat more of especially softer type foods. I would make sure that I was getting enough protien in first before eating anything else. A typical day for me is

RTD shake for Breakfast

chicken noodle Soup for lunch w/o the noodle or chili or refired Beans

maybe a snack of cheese stick / or a prune / or grapes

2 oz of some type of meat for dinner and maybe a tblspoon of vegtables or sweet potatoe

this comes out to about 70 protien under 30 carbs and about 700 calories

also I bought these little 1/2 cup containers, so it really helps with Portion Control, fill the cup and never eat more than that if you can even eat that much. I also eat with a baby spoon and it really really helps .makes it seem like your eating allot more than you are and slows you down. :rolleyes:

Ok I don't feel so bad. I drink a protien shake for Breakfast, i also have a cheesestick snack. Then for lunch, usually 1/2 cup or less of tuna salad (I should try more soups!). dinner I will have to lessen my portion of meat and add real veggies. I always have SF Popsicles and Jello for evening Snacks.< /p>

I also love the saltine crackers! I was wondering if I can try pita crackers or those Milton multigrain new baked crackers?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
