Solid food

[Kathytej 134]

Yesterday was my first day of solid foods - I ended the day disgusted. Too full, too much food, so I am back to my puree for Breakfast then for lunch and dinner I will do solids, I am tracking my Protein intake and calories to play safe but definitely I will cut down in the amount of food, doctor said 4 to 5 oz if possible. I will do 3 oz it works for me.

I'm 2 weeks into solid foods, and eat until you are full. I still can barely do 3oz. It's also depends on what I eat. If it's dense like beef I'd be lucky to get 2oz.

I agree

I'm six weeks out and cannot do much more that about 3.5 oz of lean ground turkey or chicken with a handful of green Beans

Have a shake for bkfst and solids for lunch and dinner

trying not to snack much

I'm the same way. I can barely eat 3oz of anything dense. I feel stuffed, yet satisfied. I don't mind it because I enjoy the food just as much as before. The most I've eaten of anything is 5.3oz of yogurt.

DO NOT start eating until you are full. That is a complete recipe for disaster. Long term the amount of food it takes to feel full will increase and you will stall out or worse regain.

In the beginning start with 2, measured ounce and work you way up from there. When you can eat 2 ounces for a week without being overly full or sick, then go to 3, so on and so on.

The nerves to your stomach are cut and don't heal properly for weeks, sometimes months. By the time you feel full with a sleeve early on, you have already over ate.

Even myself at 2 years I can't trust myself to eat until full, by the time my stomach sends the signal to my brain I am full, I am actually stuffed.

My team told me that I should spread those ounces out over 30 minutes, eating small bites putting fork down, chew, chew, swallow and repeat.
