I'm four months out and still have problems slowing down. I eat too fast and vomit. Doctor told me yesterday that I should take 30mins to eat a meal and start with Protein, then veggies and if you still have room then some carbs.

Had the same prroblems early out. I started measuring everything and still do. Worked for me.

You'll figure it out Good Luck to you.

I would talk to your nutritionist and/or doctor... you need to measure your food to know what is a normal portion. I bought a $20 food scale and that really helped me get a good idea of what size portions I should be eating. This habit of overeating and Portion Control is VERY difficult to break but if you stick to measuring and weighing EVERYTHING you will get a good idea of what you should be eating.

BBdoodle.. I do the same thing. I always measure a 1/2 cup. Carry one in your purse if you have to. If I go over that I get sick. I never get the "full" feeling until I stand up and that can be too late. Good luck! It is so hard to break.

I am 5 weeks post op. I noticed the full feeling in my pouch by my 2 week mark. I don't eat too slow and I haven't vomited thank God. I measure my food though. Truthfully, not all the time. I can stop myself before I get the full feeling because I find the full feeling to be uncomfortable lol. so I kind of eat, then take it easy a bit to see if my pouch still has room. Then I will work on my veggies or fruits. I found this site called BariWare.com. It has a great tool to help you with your portions and storing food. Its great especially of you work. Check it out and see if it will be of help to you. Let me know what you think!!! ????

I know exactly how you feel. I am a year and a half out and still have this problem. Eventually it will get better I promise. What I do is eat all my meals on a saucer and it seems to help. If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me. Keep your head up and you'll do great.

I'm a month out and I start to belch when I'm getting full. Don't know how long that feeling lasts but it's quite helpful! Does anyone know?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
