3 week mark - ate too much.

[bossportsgal 136]

So I got the ok to start eating food. I was so excited! I had a 3 oz piece of turkey and 2 oz of sweet potatoes mashed. I ate the turkey first and then potato. I ate slowly but man it was hard. I'm full. I also got some pain after some bites. Is that because (1) too fast or (2) too much ?

I was told my stomach is only ready for 4oz at that point. If you get lots of foamies, hiccups or nausea, you've eaten too much for your stomach size right now.

It's hard at first figuring out what the signals from our stomach mean. you will figure it out!! Congratulations on moving to the next step, did you love it???

Ok makes sense. Lesson learned. I'm so glad that I'm done with liquid. That was torture.

I am over six months out and am not sure I can eat that much. It is easy to forget how small your stomach is so it's important to measure out in advance.

You said you ate slowly but it was hard? What was hard? Eating that much? Stop before you are full. Do not force it down.

Good luck! This mental part was the hardest for me.

I get the hiccups after every meal. Most meals I don't even finish. My typical meal is 2 1/2 -3 oz Protein, 1/2 veggies. Should I be stopping sooner? I'll be 3 months out next week?
