More than suggestted

I am 2 weeks post op already on soft foods, and I find I can eat more than the recommended 4 oz at a time. Has this happened to anyone else? Did it affect your weight loss any suggestions or ideas?

Hi 👋🏽

Try as hard as you can to stick with the measured amounts and timed eating. (e.g. 1/4 cup of soft foods eaten over 15-30 mins)

I know it's easier said than done when you're not used to it or even hungry, but it's really important so than you don't max out the capacity of your new stomach while it's healing or push foods through by overloading.

Perhaps try to take slower bites or longer breaks between each bite. But also 4 ozs of softer foods tend to s l i d e down easier than 4ozs of solid Proteins.

Good Luck ♥️

You might be ABLE to do it, but SHOULD you? Stick to the timetable your surgeon gave you and take it slow. This is a marathon, not a sprint. This is a lifetime program.
