eating question ?

[Beth Proffit Harral 0]

I am 3 weeks postop and following my doctors order on what I can and can not have but I am always afraid im eating to much like I had a 3inch cucumber with 2 thin slices of deli meat and I ate all of it, but I didn't have any pain in my tummy like I over did it . I guess my question is will you hurt if you over eat. I just don't want to stretch the pouch or do anything wrong . ..

Thank you for all your input

in the early days if I ate one bite too much it felt like that old after thanksgiving feeling.

sometimes my nose would drip or I would hiccup or burp.

now the swelling is down so eating my measured portions I rarely get to that point, I just feel satisfied not full or overfull.

Congratulations on following your surgeon's program.

First, sleever's don't have a pouch. I assume you have a sleeve since you posted on a sleeve forum.

Second, it is important, especially early out since you may not feel everything in your stomach, to weigh and measure your portions. Your stomach is still healing and the nerves may not yet be at 100%.

Third, my overeating signals are things like a runny nose, hiccups, or just feeling uncomfortable. If you are expecting to "hurt" then you may be past the point of overeating.

Eating slowly, chewing thoroughly, and paying attention to how you are feeling will help you learn when you are going from satisfied to one bite too many.
