I think if you eat it slow you will feel when you are full. And probably won't be able to eat the full amount. But that is ok, Slow and chew well even though you think it is all mush still chew and at the first feel of full stop. Looks pretty good to me.

Trust me we all feel like that a lot of days. And it is always easier to tell someone how to do it then always do it. But I try hard. You will do fine. Just follow the rules your doc and nut gave/give you and do your very best.

Wishing you the best.

I am 12 days post-op and sitting here eating a bowl right now! It's specifically on my mushy list! They do say not to use instant but I this is the third or fourth time I've had it without issue....only eating about 1/4 cup though, I'm still early in this!

I am on a 1/4 cup serving size until 3 mo post op..so you are probably about right with the amount you are eating.

Oops....third or fourth time I've had oatmeal....I don't use the instant because they said it was more likely to cause dumping....so far no problem on the kind you cook for a few minutes.

      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.
