Zoes.Realm 190 Posted June 24, 2016 I am now 3 months out and I am still trying to get that fine line down. I can eat something for dinner and I am fine with 4 oz. But the following day I try to eat the same thing and the same amount and get one of those tell-tale signs (pain, watery mouth or feeling like I am going to die). I have been told that you will learn how to work with you new (very angry) tummy. As long as you do not push beyond those feelings or never get there you should be fine.

Sometime I can eat the 4 oz of food I weigh out and over times I only get in a couple of bite. Let your body lead the way.

kelliecakes 2 Posted June 24, 2016 WILL YOU GUYS EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE 30 MIN BEFORE AND AFTER food AGAIN FOR ME PLEASEIt will flush your "pouch" and wash food through, resulting in empty calories and increased hunger. There is a video out there explaining this with applesauce and a funnel Sent from my XT1585 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sweetmel7 39 Posted June 24, 2016 Am 21 days out now when I drink are eat I don't feel full. I don't want to do anything to stretch my sleeve so am looking for any advise . Sent from my HUAWEI H892L using the BariatricPal App What I have found especially after surgery that if you sneeze, nose starts to run or hiccup these are the signs that you are getting full. I am over 2.5 years post op and ny nose still starts to run when I get full. I have to make sure I eat something every 3 -5 hours bc im not hungry it is because I need to eat to fuel my body. I don't like food prior to surgery. There are days I crave certain foods and depending how I feel I can eat 4-6 oz of chili or less. Everyday is different.

PrincessBria 1 Posted June 24, 2016 WILL YOU GUYS EXPLAIN THE REASON FOR THE 30 MIN BEFORE AND AFTER food AGAIN FOR ME PLEASEThe nurse told me, we need the food to sit in our stomachs as long as possible for proper absorbion of nutrients and to feel satisfied longer, the liquids will push the food on through....I try to stick to this, it's kind of hard though God is everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mudgy6 88 Posted June 24, 2016 It will take time to get to know your new body. As long as I/you listen to what your body is telling you, the better and easier it will be Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
