Thank you guys for your reassurances and ideas for eating out. This is a huge adjustment!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi everyone, I'm a newby here -just sleeved 3/24. I'm working on introducing soft foods now and am stunned by how very little I can consume. And trying the wrong thing or too much of something has given me the slimes to a rotten degree. Right now, I can easily eat 1 scrambled egg, or a quarter cup of refried Beans, or something of a similar volume. I have slightly too much, and I'm coughing up slime for the next 20 minutes. From what I read this does get better, but I'm still worried that it will always be like this or very similar. It all sounded just fine in theory before WLS, but the life realities of eating out with others is harder than I expected. Does there come a point (and when is it) where I can eat out with family and friends and just look like I'm eating small portions and not like I can only eat a few bites and am quite full? I've kept my surgery a secret from all but my husband, and I don't want to have to discuss my choice, so that is a factor in play here also. Many thanks for your thoughts and experience- Jill Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
