Recommended Posts

I started my mushie foods today and I felt so full - i thought i was going to pop! I did NOT feel any nausea but I really was full with feeligns of pre-op overeating at a meal! - know what I mean? So when do you know your full and its time to stop!?!? Glad I didnt PB!

I did that the first time i had mushies too. All you haveto do is slow down and listen to your body. Take time inbetween each bite to decide if you are still hungry or if you are satisfied. We all had to learn this lesson, you will get it. I either have a little burp or a hiccup when I am done. I also notice that if I take one bite too many it takes longer to swallow it. Everyone has their own little things but those are mine, hope this helps :)

I never fails to surprise me how much power there is in eating slowly. When I dont do it, I overeat everytime, I suddenly get stopped by feeling that I'm going to EXPLODE. Its horrendously painful and uncomfortable.

When I eat slowly it never happens, not only do I recongise the softer stop signal but I've gotten more satisfaction from what I've eaten and therefore dont feel a mental desire to keep stuffing it in.

No don't worry about a slip - but be careful - you are learning and overeating was and sometimes is the hardest thing for me to learn as a bandster - it has taken me a year and let me tell you - your definition of full is really going to change - in fact, i NEVER EAT to full anymore - full to me pre banding was stuffed and now it is way before full - it is a feeling of satisfied and that is quite different. I have overeaten twice bad and let me tell you i was hurting so bad i thought i would die - definitely never want to do that again.

Go slow, don't eat past 20 minutes and listen to your body - it is a learning process.

It's helpful when you are first getting started to measure your food....just put what you know you should eat on your plate, then quit. That's was a new concept to me....that's why I got in the mess I got in.

Hi, you should eat no more than a cup to a cup and one half of food per seating. This will allow you to eat enough to get 1200 - 1500 calories in your diet and not overeat. Hope it works. Diane H.

I also have the issue of overeating! I am 2 months post-op well into solid foods and I just can't stop eating! I know I eat to fast but in a college environment we eat on the go a lot! I still never feel "full" or like I am going to explode and it really bothers me because that feeling is what will make me stop... but since I don't feel it I keep shoveling it in!

AHH!!

I always measure my food out, 1/2 cup, no more. This keeps me from overeating. If I don't measure, I tend to overeat.
