htoup 40 Posted May 23, 2013 So Ian 4 weeks post op and I am not feeling full. I can easily eat 3 ounces of a Protein and some veggies without feeling full. It's scaring me that I'm eating to much and I'm messing things up but I don't feel full I don't get sick. HW 343 SW 322 4/23/13 goal 170 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nel 189 Posted May 23, 2013 You need to measure and stick to the exact amounts your dietitian says. *just my opinion* Period. You don't have the same nerve endings in your stomach right now. So you won't feel full. I don't ever feel full....and I don't ever feel hungry. I religiously weigh. I use a scale I bought at Walmart. It will be a year or more before you've fully healed. Some don't have the sensation of fullness even after that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lovealways 287 Posted May 24, 2013 How much are we supposed to be eating? A cup's worth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
htoup 40 Posted May 24, 2013 How much are we supposed to be eating? A cup's worth? I was told between 1/2 - 1 cup. But sure seems like i can get more in I guess I have to be more vigilant on weighing and measuring. But if I weigh out 3 oounces of Protein do I then have to measure it to see If its less then a cup??? I'm actually confused right now ugghhh HW 343 SW 322 4/23/13 goal 170 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm actually confused right now ugghhh HW 343 SW 322 4/23/13 goal 170 I had to google what the ounces were per cup for food. I get curious about a lot of stuff so i look it up. I don't know the numbers right off the top of my head. Weigh foods and measure liquids. I usually do 2oz of Protein and 1/4 cup of veggies and that's usually my meal.

JustJenn 542 Posted May 26, 2013 I also struggle with this! I find I am able to eat 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food but not one hard boiled egg (completely) weird!!

deaddemmama 474 Posted May 27, 2013 I never go over three...don't think I could. My nut is big on listening to the pouch but gives rough guidelines. I will measure as I get farther out I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
