Slowly Learning Portion Control - Nsv

[Strangefruit 179]

I am a little over three weeks post op.. Today I made 1/2 cup of soup... and STOPPED with 3 tsp left... Since being allowed soft foods, it has really been hard for me to leave 2-3 tsp in the bowl... I would eat the "serving" and realize belatedly that it was the last bite or two that caused the pain and/or vomiting. I stopped... I feel fine (weird leaving only 2-3 bites) but feel physically fine!

Definitely a none scale victory!

Awesome, congrats to you. That is one thing I know im going to have problems with after surgery. My parents all my life, even now im 41 "finish whats on your plate" I have already bought some toddler plates and silverare, just have to practice chewing 40 times and to stop when i need too. If you discover any new tricks let me know. :}

portion control can be difficult to teach yourself - you are doing great

famous last words of my NUT/surgeon

"eat until you are full, then stop 2 bites earlier "
