When I was in weight loss mode, my typical schedule was breakfast - 7 AM, lunch - 1 PM, dinner 7 PM. If I got hungry between meals, I had a Protein Shake.< br>During meals, I used an app on my phone (I used Eat Slower) to make sure I didn't eat too fast. I also weighed or measured my food beforehand to make sure I didn't eat too much.
What app did you use to slow your eating down? -
Be thankful. I am almost 4 wks out and can't take over 3 bites. Still can't get my fluids and all my daily Vitamins in.
I know that's what I keep hearing from others that they can't get but a few bites in... that's what is scaring me... since I don't have that stop like you have I'll have to be extra careful to do everything rightSleeveforme2017 reacted to this -

I didnt have any problems either ... just be grateful you can drink and eat well.
Stick to weighing foods though and keep to 2-3 oz until your tummy heals more. Also if you had a more dense Protein, you probably wouldn't be able to eat as much.
Why do you feel as if you are doing something wrong?
I guess because everyone keeps saying they can only take a couple bites and they are full or they can't drink all their fluids, and I'm not having that issue
Also read my diet plan it says purée food this week and I am eating fish again no problem
Also worried that I'm not having a problem does that mean I'm not gonna have that built in "stop switch" -
Ok tomorrow starts my 3rd week post op. I have been told week 3 is purée food, but I met with my surgeon last Friday ( he had me eat an egg before our visit) I scrambled 2 egg whites and was able to eat it all with virtually no Discomfort. He said I can start eating fish, lean lunch meat, chicken, ground beef/turkey he said chew it good( and I might only be able to eat a couple bites) don't drink while eating. That night I had 2oz of baked tilapia ( I stopped myself at 2 oz) again no discomfort and if I have Bone Broth I can sip 16oz in a sitting...are these servings to big? Why am I not having discomfort?
Up until now I have been getting at least 60gms of Protein (mainly through protein water) and one day (5days post op I drank 82oz and that gave me 80 grams of protein) I am scared that I am doing something wrong! Help! Why can I eat and drink without discomfort has anyone else felt this way? I meet with my nutritionist tomorrow, let me know if there is a question I should ask !

Hmmm I was asked what is making have 2nd thoughts... failure, social settings... how will I survive ( not drinking and eating what others are ) worried because of that I'm gonna withdrawal ... go in a little hole... from family and friends ( they don't know) just to avoid ( I am a very social person also the thought of not being able to eat on special occasions like vacations (planning on visiting my son who is stationed in Italy in the navy haven't seen him in 3 years) I'm just an emotional wreck

Liquids vs food for protein does it matter?
