OK, what is PB mean? just to set the record strainght...I am not a "rigid" protiein first person..I slip alot.. I think when I do my best is when I finally let go of what I was suppossed to do and listened to my body. If I want a piece of pie , I have a small piece..If I want a hamburger patty with bar b que sauce then I just have a patty and eat half when I feel like it. My husband has been great and has adapted to my way of eating.. I fix a "whole" meal in the evening and only eat what I really want and in small portions otherwise I am running to the bathroom after a few bites.. I keep thinking I need another fill and then I have a day when I cannot eat without getting sick and I realize I am not eating properly..usually too much yogurt, mashed pot, softer foods..I have to chew my proteins very, very well before I swollow or as you all know, it can get pretty painful.
When I go out to eat, I eat an appetizer and maybe soup (Ii have them deliver it with everyone else's dinner) OR 1/2 of an entree..no way could I fit more than that in my stomach. I think that is normal, isn't it. Hopefully Need2lose2 these comments will help you..I know reading everyone else's helps me since I haven't been able to talk to anyone else who has had this surgery..thanks all...Cindy
