Eating too much

[puchy123 56]

How do I know if I'm eating too much. I read how people can only eat few bites of food, I've. Noticed I'm able to eat one whole piece of chicken breast and avocado. Is that normal or am I overdoing it. I am pretty full though.

How far out are you? Are you hungry or are you eating because you can? Do you under eat your sleeve or eat until you are full? If you are full, are you uncomfortable?

It depend on how far out you are.

I'm six weeks out. I keep forgetting to slow down when I'm eating.

I don't eat very slowly, but when I am full, I know it. I usually start hiccuping or I just feel uncomfortable. It also depends on the food. chicken usually does it for me...fills me right up. Avocado...not so much...kind of a slider food. And rice/pasta...fugetaboutit...I don't even try (had one bad incident and I am an experiential learner).

I am 4 weeks out and can only eat about 1 oz of meat and 1 oz of veggies at a time.

This worries me! I'm 2 weeks out and can eat more then that! Ugh this makes me so nervous that this surgery won't work

I think the amount that you can tolerate depends upon your stomach's healing process. My stomach may be a lot more swollen than yours. I wouldn't get discouraged, though. I would continue to measure food portions and follow the diet suggested by your dr and nut.
