I'm four months out and still have problems slowing down. I eat too fast and vomit. Doctor told me yesterday that I should take 30mins to eat a meal and start with Protein, then veggies and if you still have room then some carbs.

I would talk to your nutritionist and/or doctor... you need to measure your food to know what is a normal portion. I bought a $20 food scale and that really helped me get a good idea of what size portions I should be eating. This habit of overeating and Portion Control is VERY difficult to break but if you stick to measuring and weighing EVERYTHING you will get a good idea of what you should be eating.

BBdoodle.. I do the same thing. I always measure a 1/2 cup. Carry one in your purse if you have to. If I go over that I get sick. I never get the "full" feeling until I stand up and that can be too late. Good luck! It is so hard to break.

I am 5 weeks post op. I noticed the full feeling in my pouch by my 2 week mark. I don't eat too slow and I haven't vomited thank God. I measure my food though. Truthfully, not all the time. I can stop myself before I get the full feeling because I find the full feeling to be uncomfortable lol. so I kind of eat, then take it easy a bit to see if my pouch still has room. Then I will work on my veggies or fruits. I found this site called BariWare.com. It has a great tool to help you with your portions and storing food. Its great especially of you work. Check it out and see if it will be of help to you. Let me know what you think!!! ????

I know exactly how you feel. I am a year and a half out and still have this problem. Eventually it will get better I promise. What I do is eat all my meals on a saucer and it seems to help. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me. Keep your head up and you'll do great.

I'm a month out and I start to belch when I'm getting full. Don't know how long that feeling lasts but it's quite helpful! Does anyone know?

      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.
