perforce 243 Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) The 'stuck' feeling is a sign you are full, if you're eating yogurt first you may well be filling yourself up pre-meal. I don't know how far out you are but you may only be able to eat a few small bites at first.

Dub 9,922 Posted February 27, 2016 5 weeks. I can't remember how large my meal sizes were supposed to be then. My surgeon has me eating 1/2 cup meal sizes now at 4 months. At 5 weeks I was one week off liquids and eating soft foods like flakey white fish or tuna. I can remember taking it extremely slowly......as in taking 5 mins just to get the equivalent of a forkful chewed and down. It does get easier, I assure you. I detest the feeling of ever getting full. It is a 20 minute period of discomfort that I hope to avoid. Sizing up my meal prior to eating helps me to avoid this.....along with eating very slowly.

perforce 243 Posted February 27, 2016 I'm in my third week and have been on mushy food for a few days and I get the same. My suggested portion size is 80-100g, but I can currently only get about 60-70. I think you're possibly trying to eat a little too much, as I frequently have that feeling when Im done to show a bite too many. Eat slowly and wait between bites (I use a toddler fork to make sure they are small) so you can register when the feeling starts so you can stop eating. Remember the portion guideline is exactly that, a guideline, you may not be ready for the full amount yet.

A yogurt would probably fill me up, or not much more than one, and you just might be filling yourself up on that. What kind of foods have you been trying to eat that feel stuck?
