Not feeling full....

So Ian 4 weeks post op and I am not feeling full. I can easily eat 3 ounces of a Protein and some veggies without feeling full. It's scaring me that I'm eating to much and I'm messing things up but I don't feel full I don't get sick.

You need to measure and stick to the exact amounts your dietitian says. *just my opinion* Period. You don't have the same nerve endings in your stomach right now. So you won't feel full. I don't ever feel full....and I don't ever feel hungry. I religiously weigh. I use a scale I bought at walmart. :) It will be a year or more before you've fully healed. Some don't have the sensation of fullness even after that.

I notice when I eat oatmeal or something that a thick consistency I get full real fast. and when I do feel like snaking I have cheese

How much are we supposed to be eating? A cup's worth?

I was told between 1/2 - 1 cup. But sure seems like i can get more in I guess I have to be more vigilant on weighing and measuring. But if I weigh out 3 oounces of Protein do I then have to measure it to see If its less then a cup??? I'm actually confused right now ugghhh

I had to google what the ounces were per cup for food. I get curious about a lot of stuff so i look it up. I don't know the numbers right off the top of my head. Weigh foods and measure liquids. I usually do 2oz of protein and 1/4 cup of veggies and that's usually my meal.

I also struggle with this! I find I am able to eat 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food but not one hard boiled egg (completely) weird!!

I am trying to eat slow and measure if I still feel hungry I wait and will eat something again in a hour.

Every time I ate 1 egg I would vomit. I had half an egg a few days ago it stood down yesss. Would I try it again?nope lmbo I'm afraid one day things agree next it doesn't.

For me I can of course eat more soft foods.

I weigh out three ounces of food and Im not allowed to go over. That includes the extras i put in my protein.

I never go over three...don't think I could. My nut is big on listening to the pouch but gives rough guidelines. I will measure as I get farther out I think.
