I am worried...LoL. This morning I was able to eat a hard boiled egg, a pudding and 4 ritz crackers at one sitting. NOT GOOD!!!!!! I am not even a month out! AHHHHH.....HELP

How did you feel afterwards....stuffed?

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. It sounds like you know how much you should be eating so don't push it. Eat whatever amount you are supposed to and stop. Did you eat quickly? Or did you take your time? I am almost 7 months out and still cannot get that much down, so you need to be cautious so you don't make yourself sick or sabotage yourself.

Why did you eat that much? Were you still hungry after the egg? I find that I have set menus that I eat (measure and weigh my food as per my nut) and then if I'm still hungry I tell myself that the next meal or snack is not that far away so I can just wait thank you very much. Stop pushing the limits. The sleeve will help you but it won't do all the work for you.

Everyone has different capacity, and it'll vary by the food you eat. Your own anatomy and surgeon's technique can vary. But, you ate a lot of mushy stuff so mushy stuff = no restriction, food moves out quickly. Just eat measured portions and this will prevent you from overeating. Plus, nerves are still healing so you aren't going to feel a full signal necessarily. It took months for me to get a full signal, and even then, it wasn't something I went looking for when eating.

I am surprised at how much I can eat sometimes. then other times I barely get down 1/4 cup of broth.

I am trying to live by the moto of eat healthy and what the family is eating minus bread/starches of any kind. so yesterday I ate 1 scrambled egg-Breakfast then mandrian orange snack and lunch was 1/4 of spinach and 1 babybell cheese and snack was some pepperonis (5 slices) then dinner was 1/4 cup of pad thai. when Iam eating it I am feeling like OMG that is a ton of Food but then I lay it out in my fitness pal ticker and see it is less then 600 calories.

so if you evaluate the calories really you have only consumed about 200 calories. if you are chewing throughly (to baby food like consistancy) and eating VERY slowly ( 20 or more minutes) then 200 calories is not at all bad. try greek yogurt instead of pudding for more protien. the Dannon seems the best to me. How is your energy and weightloss going? can you drink morethen 4 oz of Liquids at a time?

talk soon, Mel

You are healing some by now and a lot of the swelling may be going down, so you may be able to eat a little more. And as Tiffy mentioned, a lot of the nerves were cut and may not be signalling your full yet, so definitely keep measuring and don't count on it to keep you from overeating yet. I have noticed a lot of the successful sleevers "undereat" they're sleeve, meaning they always measure and eat only till satisfied or not hungry but not overstuffed. I try not to get too full and also make sure I don't drink with meals, cuz it will just push the food on thru and allow more food.
