CuriousC 3 Posted January 9, 2013 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. 1 BBdoodle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BBdoodle 483 Posted January 9, 2013 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.

worm2872 635 Posted January 9, 2013 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. 1 slowtogo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
missdesha 14 Posted January 9, 2013 I'm exactly two months out and still having trouble not understanding when my pouch is full. I eat slowly but i always tend to over eat. Then i have to vomit. Any suggestions please help u guys!!! 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!!! ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
