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?

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
