Do you ever fill your bowl up or plate with something to eat and even go so far as to start eating and realize you had this surgery? And wonder 'how did I think I was going to eat all of this??'

All the freaking time!

E Rey damn day,Rolf

I do all the time and this past weekend my father in law kept doing it. He still doesn't quite understand that I'm not eating because i can't! He gave me a giant bowl of mashed potatoes!

Yeah I still do it as well. And the funny thing is, we had support group at my surgeons and we all learned to cook a healthy meal then we got to eat, everyone of us besides 1 took way more then we could eat. They guy who didn't has been bypassed for 8 years lol. Think we all do it. A lot of leftovers haha.

At least once a week! I'll get out a plate and start putting on sleeve-sized portions, but then it morphs into me looking at the plate thinking I didn't put enough. I keep piling on the food still thinking that it's not enough, but when I go to eat it... Then I completely regret doing that, telling myself "why did you think you could eat that much?!" Ah, silliness.

yup lol! hilarious!

Definitely! We're going out tomorrow for our anniversary and I was perusing the menu at the restaurant we're going to, trying to figure out ahead of time what I wanted to order. I picked the appetizer, the entree, AND the dessert for both of us, and then I was like, "nevermind....I'll have 1/3 of my entree and we'll split a dessert and I'll be bursting at the seams!"

I am using the smallest bowls and saucers we have...

I forget myself when I drink. I'll start gulping, then stand there frozen, waiting for the pain to hit......

I do it all the time then end up giving the plate to either my boyfriend or one of the kids....

I did that this morning. I fed the rest to the chickens.

Oh yeah. Yesterday I went to Taco Cabana and ordered a big brisket quessadilla. When it came I could only eat 1 triangle and 2 bites of the other. Why did I order a big one instead of a small is beyond me, habit I guess. I will be eating quessadillas for the next 3 days..lol

I forget and gulp water and then it all comes back up. My eyes have always been bigger than my tummy when it comes to food.

I do this still occasionally, but I bought some tiny bowls & cocktail plates & it's helping! Still occasionally pile the tiny bowl up then think wth al I thinking?? Lol!
