Anyone else? Lol

I notice that I will make my dinner, lets say a 3 oz turkey party, assuming its small and Ivan eat it no problem. I am so wrong! Lol I could only eat about half and am feeling over filled. I've done this a few times. For now on, only an ounce on my plate at a time lol

Me too. I made the mistake of switching to a 1 cup size bowl from a 4oz. and I knew right off I had made a mistake. Nice isn't it? B)

Me too. Today I ordered a kid's baked potato and a kid's turkey sandwich from Jasons Deli. What a moron I am. I was able to eat 1/2 of the sandwich minus one piece of bread. The other half and the potato are in the refrigerator.

I am totally with you! I do really good with my portions at Breakfast and lunch. But at dinner I seem to put an extra spoonful on my plate and end up eating it, and feeling stuffed, and mad at myself. Then I worry that I stretched my sleeve, etc.... I am really going to try to focus on amounts at dinner time.

Oh yea, I love leaving food on my plate. I think it is part of the new mentality we are striving for. Because I feel awful if I eat too much, I watch for the feeling & stop. No more clean plate club for me. it has definitely been a journey on this. Four months into this I was out to dinner, real expensive & w/ family. I took 2 appetizers but after one I knew I needed to wait for my "real entree" to come. I literally had to whisper to my husband "is it OK if I don't eat the 2nd one?". I had never not ate everything I put on my plate.

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! lol. Ive been doing this allot latley. I make 2 eggs for breakfast and can only eat 1/2 of one, I make a sandwich and make it normally with two slices of healthy bread, etc, you know. and im lucky if I can eat 1/4 of it. I recently went to a restaurant and ordered steak and salad. I got down 2 bites of steak and I bite of salad. the rest is in a take out container in my fridge. (which Im still eating two days later lol) So yes I can totally relate! lol its great though :)

I'm a little over 4 months out and have noticed myself doing this lately, too. I've been trying to get a grip on it and only put 3 oz of Protein on my plate. I can usually eat it all, but not always. When I can't, it seems like I want to try to eat it and end up regretting it within a minute. I wish I could forget how to clean my plate, lol.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
