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.

Had the same prroblems early out. I started measuring everything and still do. Worked for me.

You'll figure it out Good Luck to you.

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?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
