eating easy? - does restriction improve?

[Nicole Chavez 87]

I'm 9 days post op and eating puréed foods. Eating is really easy. I eat 3oz and feel satisfied but I feel like I could keep eating if I wanted to. I don't get the full feeling.

Is there anyone else that had this happen early out and did restriction improve later?

Oh yea purée and mushies go down great. It's the Protein that's going to give you restriction.

But that's a lil further out for you.

Yep, it's amazing how much less you can eat as you move through the stages and start eating more dense food..

I am on the pureed stage. If I eat about 3 oz I do feel something in my stomach. I could probably keep eating too but I stop to be safe.

I was thinking the same thing (17 days postop), and then yesterday I had some pureed lentil Soup (a thick type) with a Laughing Cow wedge mixed in and I was like "whoa"! my stomach definitely let me know when I better not take one more bite. I had about 2.5 ounces and felt like I had just pushed away from the Thanksgiving dinner table.

I love my sleeve! :wub:

Once you start on "regular" food, you will feel the restriction more. Some foods fill you up faster than others. For some reason, salad seems to fill me up quickly and so does chicken and tuna. I am eating about 4-5 ounces per meal and my surgeon said to eat how ever much it takes to feel the restriction. When I have that last bite, my tummy tells me and I stop eating!
