Today is my first day of soft foods I just ate about 4 small bites and felt satisfied. Do you think it should be a few more than 4?! Or is that normal at first?

It's so normal ! Lol takes some getting used to doesn't it ?

Yeah it's crazy! Almost made me sad I couldn't eat more lol

And that's the hardest thing to get used to , not being able to keep eating even though it was / is hard to stop .

It definitely takes time to get use to!

I had my first few bites of salad last night. I used a very small dessert sized paper plate and put my bits of chicken and torn spinach on it, some low fat raspberry vinagrette, a few crumbles of feta and a tiny piece of avacado. When I got full I looked at my tiny plate and it looked like I had never eaten anything from it. It was still full of food. So leftovers for lunch today.

It really seems bizarre when you think about how much we could eat before!

i Think It's Normal But your sleeve will stretch in a few months i believe.

Thank you everyone

Your sleeve doesn't stretch. The inflammation will go down and your esophagus will not be as tight.

Oh ok thnx

I'm on week 7 and I've noticed I belch a little at my last bite of food. Ic I eat after the little burp, I've eaten too much-believe me, I tried! I still go to foods that I can eat more volume like soups and mashed poatis, chili etc. Meat snd poultry are not fun-3-4 bites and I'm done! so I eat soup I'd chili sheer I can eat 1/3-1/4 cup. I have a protein shake in am and protein in my Crystsl lite drink all day.

How do you put protein in your crystal light? Can you taste it? I need to do that!

I buy Unjury brand unflavored protein whey powder-it's saved the day for me! Post-op while on liquids, Unjury chicken broth was also something I had daily to get my 60-80 grams of protein in. For my Crystal lite drink, I put 1/2 scoop (10 grams if protein in my 32 oz water bottle with lots of ice. I also put a shaker ball in the bottle to mix well before drinking. I drink this in between meals all day as my water. Search "Unjury" on line. Even when I called the 800 number, they were so helpful.
