Eating too much?

[srpiccollo 19]

I am a post op of 8 days and feel like I'm eating too much but I'm hungry at meal/snack times. I know I am eating fast but try to slow that down. I am finishing a meal in 15 min instead of the 30

Here is a average day for me:

Breakfast 8 oz shake

snack 8 oz shake

lunch 8 oz Soup

Snack 4 ounce Jello

dinner 6 oz soup and 4 ounce pudding

I do feel full after I eat but I honestly never get sick of eating/drinking. I could drink all day long with no issues. Getting all my Protein and fluids in is never a issue.

I talked to my nutritionist who just told me to do what I am till I see the doctor next week. I am scared I am going to stretch my pouch out but feel great so maybe it is ok.

Everyone seems to be eating so much less than me on here and I am thinking I am pigging out

8 days post of I was fighting to get an oz in so your doing well! I wouldn't worry about stretching since its liquid just remember to stop when u feel full and you'll be fine

I fee the Same way. I'm 11days out and I guess since my stomach is healing, I'm beginning to feel hungry. But we have to keep in mind that everything we are eating is all liquids. I'm hoping once I move to purées the food will have more substance and will stick to my stomach. But see it this way. It's better then Eatting a cheese burger. Lol

It is easier to eat more of the liquids. Listen to your tummy, work on slowing down and you will transition fine

None of the stuff that you are eating in this phase will "fill you up". It all goes through your stomach pretty fast. It will be much different when you get to solids.

I remember feeling that way. It took me a couple weeks to realize that physically I was full. It was really psychological. In my head I hadn't eaten enough/drank enough. But my body was screaming for me to stop. Took me about a full month for my head and my stomach to synch. Until then it was fairly miserable.

I also agree, on u get to solids its a different game!

Good luck!
