I'm not complaining at all but I get so full after one or two bites. Is this normal? It takes me over an hour to eat 3 ounces of protein.

No it does not but don't look a gift horse in the mouth, as they say, one day you will be able to eat more. Be happy that you have this restriction and enjoy the ride; and weight loss!!

Is it bad if I still finish my meal? I am just worried about getting in my Protein.

I guess it would depend on the size of the meal, but if you are full you should stop. Overeating is why a lot of us got on this island to start with.

It's just my 3 ounces of Protein or 3 ounces of cottage cheese or a yogurt. Even my shakes take an hour+ to drink.

So can you drink Water? Or does it take an hour to drink 3 oz of something besides Protein drink? What happens if you drink or eat faster?

I had my surgery on November of 2013.....I can eat a cup of greek yogurt. I asked for a larger bougie though. I would think that you should be able to eat more than that now. Your new tummy will stretch some. hows the weight loss coming? Are you healthy and able to get enough water in ? These things are a must.....you have to be able to get enough protein, nutrition and water in to live a healthy life. I would call your Dr. and see what he as to say. You shouldnt have to spend the whole day working on getting food in a t this point ; /

I have lost 127 pounds since 10/15. Water is a struggle for me as well. All my blood work is perfect which is good.
