Ah louiseC thanks!

Oh and anyone care to talk in grams! Can't picture 4-8 oz

1 oz equals 28 grams.

Ok good that's what my NUT told me too.

What is a NUT

What is a NUT

A nutritionist.

Hey it's funny but just checked out another thread that says acid reflux can cause hunger feelings... Try a medicine for this?

I'd like to hear back from OP...

I hate feeling full! HATE it! Personally I think that your desire to feel full, rather than "not hungry" or disinterested in food may be a psychological issue... Do you? Have a big think about why you got surgery and butterthebean/other posters have provided some good advice about why physically you may not be full...

I think alot of us are in the states and don't regularly use grams. It would be difficult to talk in grams, just as ounces are a mystery to you. I find this online conversion tool EXTREMELY helpful http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_volume_cooking.htm

Seems a bit strange to me that you didn't feel full sooner. I am 5 1/2 weeks out, last night I went to a wedding and ate 2 cocktail size meatballs, a carrot, 3 green beans and 2 chucks of watermelon over a 30 minute period of time. I was full, in fact I had to get up and walk around because I felt uncomfortably full. I know everyone's different, but I can barely eat more than a few ounces of anything. Maybe try to eat slower and chewing your food thoroughly, you might find yourself feeling full before you can ingest a full 8oz. Give it time, for me it wasn't a mistake. I've lost 30 lbs. since surgery, I feel better (BP is 106/68), look better and have gotten tons of compliments on how great I look. Definitely not a mistake for me! Hope things improve for you.

4 oz is roughly 120 grams and 8 oz is roughly 240grams... I am a nurse and I have lived in the UK and Australia so metrics were a must lol

Oh man.. I don't know about the rest of you, but if I drink while or right after eating... it's urp city. No way.... LOL

Yeah sorry about the oz/gram thing I was just soooo anti-googling right then! Yeah in aus 3 oz is about the size of our regular one-serve tunas tins and it's the amount I eat in one sitting pre-sleeve. Although to be fair if you sat like 20 oz of tuna in front of me I could polish it off but would feel very fishy :~o
