Hey guys, been having tons of sleeve problems, but just trying to figure out if I am making myself sick by eating too much... How much were you guys eating at the stage I am in?

What exactly does it feel like when you overeat? Has anyone had a very quick pain (maybe 5 seconds) as if something is stuck even when you have chewed very thoroughly?

When was your surgery? What has your dr recommended stagewise?

Surgery was over a month ago. No dietary restrictions now.

No Dietary Restrictions?

Wow!

I was on full liquids of 3 Protein drinks and 2 yogurts for the first four weeks. Today is 5 weeks exactly Post Op. I'm on one mushy meal a day. I'm at about 500-600 calories a day. Once back on 'regular' food, I am not to go over 700 calories. No red meat for 3-6 months because it's hard to digest.

Are you seeing a nutristionist?

How many calories a day are you consuming? What's your average 'food' day?

I am eating all normal foods now at about 10 weeks out. I have been since about 6 weeks. I eat very slowly. A normal meal is half an english muffin with peanut butter, 1/2 can of tuna with miracle whip and 4 crackers, 1/2 banana, 1/3 of a frozen entre like a lean cuisine, 1 poached egg with haldfa slice of toast, etc. I spread the meal out over 20 mins of time. I have no problems now, but at 1 month out I got the slimes like 3 or 4 times.

I'm about 8 weeks out & would agree with the portion sizes that nurselisa listed. If you eat too much and/or too fast you'll know it because it hurts in a very uncomfortable sort of way. Take your time & eat slow & you will be able to tell when you are getting full much easier, when you eat fast it just hits you all of the sudden & its not a very nice place to be in.
