Blondiee, Awesome job on working out!! When we're u sleeved?

Lipstick lady, I use an app called "eat slower" and I take a bite (from a toddler spoon" and wait a minute and a half to take a bite, so I'm only occasionally eating too fast. It's a good point that my stomach is still numb.... Good point

Lipstick Lady, You think 1/2cup cooked scrambled egg is a lot? My NUT said this amount is appropriate for how far along I am. What is head hunger?

Lipsticklady, I have no idea, sorry. I'm eating about 1/2 c cooked, which is about 1 & 1/2 eggs

Lulah, Oh and my NUT said on oureeds I should be aiming for 900 calories....eek, I'm lucky to hit 800

Lulah, I definately need to be more mindful of my protein intake, it's my downfall for sure. As for the hungry thing, I think it is a 3week post op thing. I just called my NUT who said its normal to be hungry shortly after a meal bc our tummies empty a lot faster than before. My NUT also recommends 3 mealS and 2 snacks a day, but of coursE protein firSt I'm soooo sick of oureedS I could cRy what did u eat on oureeds? I'm living on scrambled eggs with melted cheeSe

Blondiee, thx for your reply, I really appreciate it. Have you been released to workout yet?

Blondiee, Thanks, I need to supplement during the day with a protein shake for sure. As far as the "whites" flour,sugar,rice.....I decided pre-op these items will never be apart of my life again, for many reasons but mostly bc I'm a chronic daily migraine sufferer and these items cause inflammation in the body which in turn cause migraines. I haven't had them since my pre-op diet and I feel amazing-no migraines, which is HUGE for me, so they will never be apart of my life again along with gluten. Now potatoes on the other hand, I enjoy and don't have a problem with, I think in moderation (we maybe eat potatoes once a month) are ok and my moderation is about 2 bites that's just me though, to each their own

MissMac, my family is far from insensitive, if anything my husband is driving me nuts with his constant supervision of every bite I out in my mouth. It was MY idea to eat out bc it's a huge social thing, I enjoy doing with my family and since we didn't go out when I was on my pre-op diet, I thought since I could get scrambled eggs it was ok. Anyway, I am still learning, im only 3 weeks out and I need to have more grace with myself during this journey

Madam, THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! your post is so helpful and encouraging, I really appreciate it! Thx

Madam, how long do I wait?

Idahogirl, My surgeon said I would still experience hunger, wish I didn't. Oh well

Blondiee, yes I was sleeved on 2-3......I am not a patient person, but good point that my stomach is still healing

Blondie, YES way too much food. I think I ate too fast tonight bc I waited until I was too hungry

Bufflehead, No not, Full cup of scrambled eggs with cheese, typically, but we were eating out and that was about the amount I was given and since I felt sooooo hungry my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I ate that and then some, after I felt like I might throw up, but thankfully didn't. I am only eating scrambled eggs right now on oureeds and will only eat 1/2c cooked eggs that's what I had for breakfast & lunch today until dinner tonight. My surgeon is worthless quite honestly I hate her and wish I would have gone with a different surgeon, but that's a different story.....let's just say no support. I do have an awesome NUT and she says 1/2c cooked scrambled eggs, so I've been sticking to that until tonight's dinner incident. I DEFINATELY don't want to eat too much. ARGH how long does this process take to learn??

So I'm only eating when I get hungry, but sometimes I feel so hungry, that after2-3 bites of egg say, my stomach still feels hungry, so I keep eating, waiting to get satisfied, but I have missed satisfied s a few times and hit too full. Tonight, I had scrambled eggs with melted cheese, about 1cup, but by the time I finished them, I still felt hungry, so I had a few too many bites of potatoes and hit the pukey feeling. Help!! At what point do you stop eating? Ho often do you et throughout the day? I feel limited t this point bc I'm only on oureeds, not much variety....can't do refried bens, can't tolerate them t this point

Humanmerelybeing, Yep, spoke to my NUT today to find out how much of an egg is ok to eat, she said 1/2cup cooked, not sure if this is a whole egg or not. Anyway, her and my surgeon's recommendation for their patients is no acidic foods until the soft food phase, which comes after mechanical soft. My surgeon is very anal/OCD and very conservative in her approach with patients, so that is probably why no salsa for me but it sounds really yummy

Yes, I had and still have trouble sleeping. I was sleeved on 2-3. I am in a little different boat bc I had complications and was in the hospital for 6 days in the ICU. Anyway, I came home with a Bpap machine, definitely couldn't/can't sleep. My PCP prescribed Xanax but I flipped out on it, now I'm on liquid vistlik and that helps. Last night , I decided to go to sleep without it, was sleeping great until my sick little boy woke me up. Now we are n the ER, so I won't be getting a good night again tonight. Hopefully soon I will sleep without meds. That's my hope

Butter pants, I get the poke in my abdomen too, that's my only "que" otherwise I just stop eating when the edge of hunger is gone

Butter pants yesbafter today's episode, I don't think they will be my go to, they definitely filling. I hadv1/2of a 1/2 cup

Thank you all, I think I figured it out. I tried refried beans for the first time today and wow passed a little gas and I feel better its amazing what some gas will do

I get a pain in my right lower abdomen when I get full, this is the only place I feel fullness, anyone else or is this my weird body's reAction???

Salsa

Humanmerelybeing, My NUT won't let me have salsa yet, no acidic food until after mechanical soft phase, are you eating Sosa & have you had any trouble with it?

To eat 2scrambler eggs when on puréed? I'm 3 weeks post op
