Quick Lunch/Food Question Regarding Ounces

[Little Kansas Kitty 213]

I just had the most satisfying meal since my surgery! Refried Beans. YUMMY! No seasoning added just straight out of the can warmed up in the microwave. Quick ?: My post-op diet paperwork said I could have a 1/2 cup of Refried Beans. I'm 3 weeks post-op. Isn't a 1/2 a cup 4 ounces? And, isn't our pouch only 2 ounces!!? Maybe it's considered a "slider" food? I finished about 3/4 of the 1/2 a cup and feel really satisfied and full. Adding this to my favorite meal list so far. I almost felt like I was having a taco. Haha!

Ok, 45 minutes later and I'm feeling "too full". Like I just had an enormous meal. I think I better have less next time. This full feeling is a wee bit uncomfortable. It still was tasty though!

Did you start feeling better?

Volume and weight differ so be careful of each . I would suggest only eating what your stomach tells you and slowly. Give time for your brain to catch up to your stomach to feel full. Feel better !

Thank you for that. I think I do need to slow down more. It was pretty easy to eat since it was so soft. I did feel better when I got home and had a Protein Shake. The fullness lasted probably a little under 2 hours. I plan on having it for dinner tomorrow though. It was delicious.

You made me laugh. I just ate mashed potatoes today and it was the best thing in the world. I get to try fried Beans tomorrow. Excited!

Haha! Yay for food in whatever forms they come. I had cottage cheese for the first time this morning and they were delicious too! The baby food peaches not so much. Too sweet!
