Ok I think I am eating too fast. How do you guys slow yourselves down? I just had Ricotta bake and feel like I am dying from being overfull. I know I did it to myself.

I listen to my stomach and it slows me right down. I had sleeve surgery a little over 2 weeks ago. I'm in the mushy/pureed "food" stage. After a few spoonfuls of whatever I choose, I start to get a tad bit nauseous and I push the plate away and Will Not eat anything else and that feeling goes away after 30 minutes. I don't want to vomit or add to my discomfort...so, I just stop, drop, and roll...I know when enough is enough right now!

How many times are you eating a day?





I eat "mushy/ pureed food" once a day...and drink a Premier Protein shake and try to get my fluids in with sugar free popsicles, lemonade & Water. My taste buds have changed since surgery. There is not alot of room in this new stomach. I'd rather drink a Protein Shake than feel nauseous from eating something that doesn't agree with me. I know my appetite will improve but until then....Im watching what I eat.

I don't get a full feeling when I eat. I get this weird bubbling in my stomach and that's how I know it's time to push the plate away. I usually don't feel full until about 10 minutes after I'm done eating

When I got to the pureed stage 4 days ago I over ate the first "meal" of Greek yogurt. So the next time, I got a table spoon and ate 1 tbsp over 5 minutes. Then I did another tbsp over 5 min and then repeated again. By the end of the 3rd tbsp I was starting to have a sensation of getting full so I very slowly ate the 4th one and that was all I could handle. Now I know not to exceed 4 tbsp of intake at each "meal." I find that if I stay closer to 3 tsbp then I don't get uncomfortable but am still full and satisfied.

      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.
