connie3 43 Posted December 10, 2012 Do you eat until you're full or just in portions? I'm still new to the eating. I'm on liquids, but should start eating soft foods tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marissasanti 1 Posted December 10, 2012 I would start in portions but u most likely wont be able to get down a full one are you hungry at this point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
connie3 43 Posted December 10, 2012 Not hungry.. Just head hunger. I feel great with the liquids, but I rarely feel the fullness in my stomach. I'm just worried it'll be the same when I start eating and that I'll over eat and stretch my stomach. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robyn Owens-Miille 132 Posted December 10, 2012 Remember, at this early stage you may not feel full. Your nerves were severed in your stomach and are healing. I recommend measuring everything you eat and not exceeding 1/2 cup (1/4 cup may be all you can hold early on). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffus 66 Posted December 10, 2012 I'm 7 weeks out and can still only eat 2 tablespoons maybe 3 at the most before I am overfull! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coykoi 45 Posted December 10, 2012 Just home from the hospital today. I found I could drink a lot of the high-protein Soup, but I still have problems with the cold drinks. 1 or 2 ounces and my guts start cramping. They've got to be very cold to be able to get them down, but I think but my stomach doesn't like it. Today it took 14 hours to get 1.5 bottles down. Tomorrow I'll start with what my stomach wants.
