wynblade 14 Posted March 27, 2014 My surgery was 2-25-14 and I'm slowly getting back to "normal" my food choices have increased along with my activity and I'm back at work so am on more of a schedule then I was while recovering, which has been a struggle. I can't "snack" at work and have to go sometimes 4 or more hours without food, I wasn't one of the lucky people with no appetite after surgery so by the time I can eat my tiny tummy is roaring as loudly as it can (still much less then before). I've managed to curb the speed eating I used to do but I keep eating too much! (The whole 2 oz instead the 1.5 oz my tiny tummy would be comfortable with) I've always been a "clean plater" and that too I'm working on overcoming. Anyone else been having similar struggles? I would love any advice, tricks, suggestions you wonderful sleevers could send my way. I'm working hard to better listen to my body, which I know is the most important thing I can do.

lsuchick4 54 Posted March 28, 2014 I struggle with this, too! I measure everything out and try to put a little less. I am trying to stop before I'm full - just when the edge is gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Mac 6,262 Posted March 28, 2014 Miss Tummy has taught me to eat slowly and wait for the tupperware burp. That's my clue to put my plate away. Typically, if I measure out the 1/3 cup and two tablespoons that I was told is my capacity, the burp leaves me one last bite to throw away. If I take a chance and eat anything after the burp, I am freakin miserable for four to five hours afterwards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
