Post-Op Overeating?

How do you know if you are eating too much or not enough if you dont have any restriction before your 1st fill ????

The best thing to do is to follow the eating plan your doctor or nutritionist has given you. For example, I was to eat 3 oz of tender chicken, turkey, fish or pork and 1/2 cup of veggies for supper during the soft foods stage. For lunch I'd have 1/2 cup of chicken or tuna salad with 6 crackers. I often felt like I could eat more, but when I really checked with myself, I found that I was no longer hungry after eating the recommended amounts. So, the *wanting* to eat more was just that - a want. And doing what I *wanted* regarding eating is what got me overweight to begin with.:biggrin:

I agree with Misty. Go with the recommendations from your doctor/dietitian. I measure my meals. I get my first fill tomorrow, so I now I can probably eat pretty normally. I measure and keep my meals, and stay between 1/2 to 1 cup, plus one snack. For satiety, I make my snack a Protein snack, like Greek yogurt or tuna.< /p>
