Met my hubby for lunch at a place in town that has awesome Soups. I ordered a crab bisque that is already pureed and asked them to strain it for me. It was heavenly and nice and thin, but I think without measuring I just took "one bite too many". anyway, still never threw up but BOY have I felt like crap since lunch. Oh well...guess we live and learn. So much for my high hopes of having a nice lunch date with my husband!! ;)

How do you know when to stop? Or when that last bite should be the last so that you don't get this way? Oh I am so worried about this.

What works for me is if I cannot measure my food (restaurants, friend's house) I deliberately undereat. I might have 4 spoonfuls of Soup slowly and stop, talk for 5 minutes or so, have another two spoonfuls, and then stop. I try to estimate what 1/3 cup of food would be (the amount I eat now) if I subtracted it from the pile on the plate and I try to eat one less spoon/forkful than that. So far I have not had any problems eating in public.

Make sure you eat slow and chew your bites really, really well.....I usually wait 5 mins or so between bites. I had Breakfast out with a friend and it was all good. We just took our time and I had plenty to eat. You will know when you feel full. I was told the same thing and worried about it, but you just have to listen to your body. I know most of the time we want to keep eating because it tastes so good, but just think you'll have plenty left over to have it again if you so desire. That's how I look at it. Good luck!

Yikes!!! My frist outing was for Thai food and I had a couple of bites and then a bit of the creamy sauce - and I felt crappy afterwards. I don't think I ate too much, but the richness of the sauce is I think what got to me.

Maybe it was the heaviness of the crab bisque (too much butter) that also made you feel a bit funky?

That'll teach ya :-)

I think the bisque was too rich...I had one from red lobster last week and it all came right back up...I don't think I'll try the bisque ever again

I had loaded potato Soup for lunch today and actually had no problem with it. It was soooooo good and normal. I'm just two weeks out tomorrow. I just felt very full very fast and tried to space spoonfuls far apart. Worked fine. So ready for real food! I truly hate milk and shakes.......

My first "real" food was crab = yummy! I've overdid it with chicken several times because of not chewing good enough. Omelettes are my best friend when eating out.

I dont have a problem telling when I feel full, almost like a knot... I make sure not to over do it, but like others have said certain foods will make me feel funny and I know I didnt over eat, that is probley not agreeing with me for one reason or another...

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
