I'm trying to make my portions smaller and do all things that will have to be done after surgery but its so hard to do. Anyone else run into same issues?? Did you have success still with surgery???

I would think it would be hard pre surgery! I am a month out of a rounY and can only eat 1/2 cup BUT afterwards that makes u very full.. No hunger that u must deal with before with that small amount! Best of luck! Best thing I have ever done for myself!

After the surgery, you will be physically unable to eat a big portion! I started with 1/4 of a cup and sometimes that was too much. One scrambled egg would be too much or a yogurt. It is amazing that you can go from eating 4 eggs at a time plus sausage and toast to less than an egg. Hang in there! You will be soooooo glad!

Thanks for responses!! I will just keep trying and awaiting surgery!!!

Im 8 weeks out and like you tried to practice and it was very hard to take small bites and chew chew chew and believe me post op you will learn this quick but one thing you can do which I wish I had was practice the slowing down, putting your fork down use a timer if need this is a very hard habit. I have gotten sick twice so far and both times from eating to fast....good luck!

That's good advice thank you! How much time would you put on a timer? I found an app for my phone called "Eat Slower" that I can put in what time I want for the intervals.
