big question

[moviemom05 25]

I have a question but please do not spend time lecturing me. My question is why is it I can eat 2 ice cream sandwiches and yet only about 3-4 bites of chicken. It has been almost 10 months since surgery. Is it because those "junk food" items go down easier??

Yes. Ice cream sandwiches would be a slider food so they are going to pack in and move through your stomach quicker and easier than solid Protein.< /p>

Proteins like chicken and meat don't compress, they just sit in your tummy until digested enough to pass through. Personally I hate the feeling that meat gives me and eat more soft Proteins.< /p>

yeah, ice cream's a slider, the Protein fills you up because it's dense, so you need less of it to feel full. I can eat a lot of popcorn if I wanted to, but chose not to 'cause I want this thing to work. and popcorn used to be a big favorite of mine. Keep things like ice cream for an occasional treat and you'll be fine.
