Feeling full with only 2-3 bites

[mh97686 7]

I am currently on puréed since I am 2.5 weeks post op. With only 2-3 small bites I am full with the sensation in the back of my throat. Does this sensation ever get better so you are able to eat a little more without feeling nauseated

It should. It may take some time, and everyone reaches that point on their own time. Be THRILLED for this, it is awesome! This is why we did it. For the nausea, try eating very slowly, and CHEW. Even if it is baby food. Chew it as fine as possible. Drink tepid fluids instead of cold. Especially in the morning when your new tummy is waking up. Always introduce the tummy to food with very soft food for the first few bites, until you are over the nausea. It really helps. Welcome to your new life! Good luck to you!

@@mh97686 yes it will get easier to eat more and then you'll be wishing you were back here. Enjoy it! Kinda like a little kid who wishes he was a grown up and then when he's grown up he wondered why ever wished that. Same thing. Enjoy your journey every single day.
