Help I over ate¡!

I ate a half of bowl of mashed potatoes and I am very full and sick. I am scared I am going to bust open. Ate to fast. Has this happen to anyone else?

You won't bust. I promise. You may barf or slime, but you won't bust. Everybody, including me, has been there. It takes a while to learn how much you can eat. I'm almost three months out and I still find myself eating one bite too many occasionally.

How much is half a bowl? You need to make sure that you always measure out your portion of food; 2-3 ounces of mashed potato and eat slowly. This will alleviate the problem of you eating half a bowl. Good Luck

Did your Dr clear you already for soft foods? It is very important to follow your Drs instructions. I hope you feel better!
