I just started my mushies today(besides the few mashed potatoes I tried last night). I had my first post op doctor appointment today. After I was done I went buy taco bell & got an order of pintos n cheese. I was able to eat the Whole order!!! Of course I ate half of it.. Stopped then ate the rest about 2 hrs later. Is that normal??

Omg...just tried the pintos and cheese this evening...we were at the mall at the food court...tried chik fil a diet lemonade but it was way to sweet for me...two weeks out and couldn't finish the pintos and cheese but they went down easy and not bad tasting

Wow! How far postop are u? Im sure everyone is different but I am 19 days postop and had the same thing yesterday, I could only eat a couple if bites of them. I wish I could have ate more because they were yummy.

How much of them were you able to eat?

I am almost 2 months out and can only eat about 1/4 of them and then I am so

Full!!! However there are certain things for me that I can eat more of. Maybe pintos and cheese is that one thing for you!

I still don't have the full thing down pat. Im confused about it! I don't feel exactly full.. I feel like a choking sensation in my throat & I'm assuming that is when I'm full... Can someone please help!!

I too struggle with the whole--- what does full feel like... I'm not sure I know either! But I usually will start getting hiccups or will feel it in my throat too! When I over eat my nose runs and I get that slimy feeling in the back of my throat! I'm still a newbie!

ofcourse, as long as we have this tool we keep losing.

I looooove the pintos n cheese! I had them twice during my mushy phase. I could eat about 1/3 of them so I stretched them for 2-3 "meals". I was about 2 weeks postop the first time I tried them and they went down easy. I think I could probably eat a little more than 1/3 of them now but maybe not 1/2 and I am 4 weeks out today. I am still figuring out the full thing too - its not a completely distinct feeling for me but I am starting to notice little things that I *think* mean that I am either full or going too fast.

Oooo, sounds yummy!! I should get to my mushy stage today after my preop appt. I think I'm going to get some to bring home.

Don't stress yourself out about it. I can eat like that too. I can eat 2 whole hard boiled eggs at one time! lol I still lose weight, not slow or fast but moderately, and I am not even working out yet. I walk, but nothing other than that. (I get the go ahead for exercise this thursday). As long as you are following plan and doing what your suppose to do you will lose weight! Your gonna drive yourself crazy over-thinking everything lol

Different foods "slide" for different people. Pintos and cheese must slide for you. LOL My sliders are yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal and chex mix!
