Birddogs64 1 Posted December 13, 2018 Hello , Im new here . Been using Baritastic app for a while . I'm post op gastric sleeve ; done on 10/9/18 ; I try to eat home baked fries , or green bean and Tomato salad , triple zero yogurt , scrambled egg , chicken tenders . Not all at once , but those are some things I eat . Problem is ? They sometimes stay down ? Other times they don't . I have trouble feeling full sometimes even now . I chew 20 times , even eat with left hand to slow down my eating . How do you guys know how much you can tolerate portion size wise ? Thank You Sent from my SM-G960U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Alpaca55 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Birddogs64 1 Posted December 13, 2018 ms.sleeve : Thank You for that . I never thought of that eating stradegy . I will start paying attention to find " that que" that my body sends . I was taught to eat , clean my plate and hurry up . I was excited to get the sleeve ; but I didn't realize that portion size would be so difficult . Thank You for your advice and good luck in your journey dear . 😁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mousecat88 2,281 Posted December 22, 2018 I measure/weigh virtually everything. If I can't, I try to eat verrryyy slowly and usually know that 4-6 bites is the limit. I've eaten too fast just once and gotten sick. A few times a tiny bit too much and it is uncomfortable. Learning curve. But yeah... I try to pre-portion everything I can... I even eat out of measuring cups half the time. lolSent from my SM-G930R4 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 Alpaca55 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
