Hi my name is Jessica and I hD surgery July 22nd. I am having some issues over eating at night mostly. I am able to eat normal foods but I can only get a few bites in , but I keep taking the last stupid bite ! Then I feel horrible! My mind wants to eat more but my tummy says noooooo

What do you mean by "I am able to eat normal foods."? Your surgeon/nutritionist has already cleared you to eat solids at 3 weeks? Maybe to avoid overeating, portion out the amount of food you should eat instead of eating out of a larger container or off a larger plate than you need?

I was the same way early out. Might help to count the bites you take for different foods and see if there is a pattern of when the pain starts, then just eat one or two bites less than that. Its very common and it will pass!

Yes my surgeon cleared my for some foods, not all foods but I am having a hard time after I eat those foods

Thanks for the advice! I eat on a little plate but I guess the normal habits of eating mouthfuls of food is just a hard habit to break . I will get there. Trial by error I guess
