Knowing when to stop

[mollydeez 25]

So I got sleeved on 10/17. At first I was having these insane hunger pains and always wanted to be consuming (I think it was boredom) but now I can barely finish anything and I only eat because I haven't all day and feel like I need to. I'm just like not hungry it's so weird. And when I do eat, I over do it because I'm worried about my lack of calories and Protein (I drink 2 premier Protein shakes a day). I guess I'm wondering if anyone experienced the same thing? How do I consume more calories? Without feeling sick? And will this pass?

@@mollydeez It's important to eat on a schedule and measure portion sizes. I'm supposed to eat about every 2-3 hours (4-6 times a day) only about 2ozs at a time. Drink fluids at least30 mins after eating (and stop 30 mins before). Don't worry about calories at this point - concentrate on Protein and fluids.

First off, those hunger pains you felt, arent actually hunger pains. they are just gas and

acid. it feels like hunger pains, really bad ones. But they subside.

Also dont push to get in specific calories, you do want to make sure you get your fluids and your Proteins in. but too little calories isnt really going to happen if your getting your Protein in.

Good luck, you can do this.!

I am struggling really hard with this as well. Additionally I've had really bad acid reflux and now my whole throat hurts everyday now. I just posted a thread asking what people's eating schedule is to try and get some inspiration. Right now I hover at 60 grams of Protein a day and 450 calories per day. I'm in the pureed stage but I'm struggling with it as 2 ozs is all I can barely do and the acid is so bad I suffer.

I'm also having transient nausea which SUCKS. I really look forward to the days that I'm not in pain, feeling sick, tired or have a burning stomach/throat. lol! I know it's not far away but this is difficult. Oh, and Constipation is SOO much fun right now. lol!
