Am I eating too much???



Recommended Posts

So, I woke up pretty hungry this morning and decided I wanted something different than my normal scrambled egg. I made a toasted Fiber one English muffin, one scrambled egg and one slice of low fat cheese. I made a Breakfast sandwich out of it. I cut it in half and planned on eating a half. Well, I ate the whole thing. I could have stoped at half but it was delicious and I ate the rest. I am super full now. I don't feel sick, but I am very full. Could I h e stretched my sleeve? I am normally so good at measuring things out and I feel like I screwed up!

They say you can't stretch it if you over eat once or twice but if you are making a habit of it. Also, how far along are you?? There is always the risk of dumping syndrome and or forcing your stitches open.

Also, if you really really like something, put it aside and eat it later. Remind yourself that it will still be there later. Eating it in an hour or two is far better than depriving yourself or eating it all at once.

I was sleeved 12/21/16. There have been a couple of times that I ate a bite or two too much and I had hiccups and felt pretty lousy. This time I felt ok, just very full

Measure your food you don't want to undo the good that's my way of encouraging myself when I want to keep eating. Plus you should actually stop once your satisfied not full then 3 hrs later you could have enjoyed the other half.

bread, for you, might be a slider food. That means you can eat more of it than you would think. It just sliiiddees down without feeling the restriction.

Thanks everyone. I kind of freaked out because it seemed like a lot of food at once. I'm going to go back to measuring.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
